Whenever I meet an MFDB user and ask him on the sensor he'll never forget for its Image quality... It's always the same answer... "the 22mp 49x37mm Kodak had some magic in its image, I don't see in modern sensors".
When I then ask "why did you change it ...was resolution low?" ...I always get the same answer too, "no, no problem with resolution, you can easily have 200% screen enlargement with no pixilation... it was the occasional ...moire!"
I also use such a sensor and I have to say i see the same magic... So, I thought if some of us can have a conversation here and give this "magic" a certain identity out of our experience...
My opinion is, that what I see as "more film like" magic than modern sensors is a less linear mid part in the output curve, with more compressed HLs and LLs ...like film was! Asher, are you coming in this conversation? (I have a feeling that he is...)
