Hi folks,
I frequently see requests for sample images of the 1Ds3 on various internet fora. People want to see for themselves if the image quality suits their needs. Therefore, for a limited time (due to hosting space limitations), I'll put up a full-size sample JPEG image at this URL (note: 21MB !):
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jlvdwolf/temp/7640_CO40_FM1-175pct_sRGB.jpg
The image was shot on tripod, with mirror lock-up, with a TS-E 90mm lens at f/7.1 (at the onset of visible diffraction) at ISO 100. It was manually focused (with LifeView) on the name shield of the windmill. Composition was not taken into consideration, it's just a test-shot containing several material structures and sky. I don't claim any artistic qualities (in fact composition is poor) nor were such qualities intended (to reduce the risk of commercial exploitation).
Raw conversion was done with Capture One version 4.0 with the default camera profile, and the default 'film-curve'. No noise reduction and no sharpening was applied at that stage.
The resulting image was only sharpened once with Focus Magic in Photoshop and, after adding the title, converted to 8-b/ch sRGB and saved as a maximum quality JPEG. Besides the Raw conversion, I applied neither tonemapping nor dust removal (2 dust spots are visible) whatsoever, so it's basically a straight Raw conversion plus a sharpening step in Photoshop.
I hope that it will help to get an idea of what's possible.
Enjoy,
Bart
