This is the most reasonable post.
The general idea about all this is that Canon came out better then RZ. Period. This is the first time it happened to me in comparable conditions. Yes, you can pull out RZ in post, but you can start with Canon with much better file. And this is big advantage.
I cropped not more then 15% (top\bottom) of Canon file to make proportions the same with ZD.
I did not use any protection for bellows and not willing to - because can just take small 5d2 and shoot with great success, instead of running around covered with dark cloth.
Also, I didn't say anywhere I am getting rid of RZ. This is my favorite system, I just know its limit.
And in this case MF is not giving me any headroom over Canon. It's giving me headache only for trying to reach Canon "out-of-box" performance.
P.S. Plz, don't teach me how to shoot white BG also. BG was overexposed only for 0.5 stop metered from model position towards reflecting surface, and NOT at the surface plane. And if you shoot white BG, which came out grey...
Lol, go back to school.
