Work has kept me tied to my computer for a couple straight weeks so I haven't had a lot of opportunity for shooting with my new 75 Lux. However, I do carry it around the yard when taking the dog out for her relief. I take endless pictures of her and the view from my back porch (which I won't bore you with) and continue to see amazing things in the files. I'd like to understand what I'm seeing a little better.
One of the most impressive things about the M8 files is the amount of detail and apparent depth of information that stands up extremely well to aggressive processing (curve adjustments, sharpening, etc.). I have heard the term "micro-contrast" used but I'm not sure exactly what it means or what attribute of the lens or camera is responsible for it. Is it the glass itself? The coatings? The arrangement of the elements? Lack of a thicker AA filter on the sensor? All of the above?
There's an entire universe of information about lenses that I haven't grasped as yet. I may never fully comprehend the intricacies of lens design. But I am curious about this aspect.
Your thoughts greatly appreciated.
