another LL OLPF vs Skin Tone question...

[francisco santos]

Okay…
Ive been searching and searching threads but I have a slight issue with my new LLOLPF. I notice the image seems a bit darker. I do see a difference in noise however I feel like I lost a stop of light when installing the LL vs the skin tones? Yeah the higher ISO are cleaner however seems like the buttery highlights are completely gone? Anyone else have this problem? I can post some pictures later however just curious or maybe Im crazy Love the lack of noise but Im not going to lie I think the skin tone might be better suited for me. I almost feel like the Skintone gives an alexa quality to it.

Thanks,

You shouldn't notice any brightness difference in the image. We calibrate the OLPFs so that when you switch them over and set the correct setting in-camera, any brightness differences are removed.

Francisco, what you are noticing is normal. The skintone (as far as I understand) skews DR deeper into highlights (what you call Buttery), and LLO skews that same DR more into shadows (and hence makes them cleaner).

Did you change the setting in the camera to LLOLPF?

Yes switched it over in the settings. Both seem to work great however looks like the ski gone might be better for day to day usage. I can see in a low light situation how the other would work out but these days I'm lighting everything.

I now have both, but when I first got my dragon I just had the skin tone and I shot this. I rated the camera between 800-1600 asa and really don't feel like I had any "noise issues". I think they both look great honestly. I think any limitations only come into play if you are really, really trying to get something out of the camera that you probably shouldn't be.
