  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

MONOCHROME - 4000asa TOIA tests.

Great, stuff Mark. Thanks for sharing! Any chance you could post some R3Ds?
 
Mark, I am sooooooo jealous.
 
Thanks for sharing Toia, really looking forward to getting my hands on this beast. I am going to do an underwater shoot and aim to make large format prints for a show and curious your results.
 
Where the blowups that you had in that first images post at 100%? Or even more?
It's really impressive how fast that camera is! Thank you for posting the images.
 
Awesome Mark, thanks so much for sharing!

Now, if what you wish turns out to be true and Dragon will be as good as this, what will Dragon Monochrome become?! :)
 
BTW, did I mention that I can totally relate to your toys? Ship, car and surfboard included?
Don't ever loose your inner child! He's a cool kid!
 
Mark, thanks for the test pics. Is it just total wild speculation on your part, or have there been indications that Dragon will offer this kind of dynamic range and high ISO capability? I haven't followed the chatter on Dragon, so I'm just wondering how realistic it is to have this as a benchmark.

There's no benchmarks from anyone outside RED. And from the inside probably most of us only know about Jim's words that it is unbelievably clean. So it's just a reference as of what would be great.
 
The ISO capabilities are achived because there is no color filter array in front of the sensor. Remember that that filtration throws away 2/3 of the light. it absorbs the unwanted colors, so say for a red pixel : it blocks the blue and green light from reaching the photosite.
Dispose of the color filters and you get all the photons reaching the photosite.

I'm not impressed by the resolution, but he must have blown up the picture 300% or so. He didn't say.

Again, I encourage people to post full resolution images as a jpg. It'ss useful to see the output from cameras.
Funny how on a site promoting 4K there are almost no post processed 4K images to be seen, isn't it ?
Posting r3d is no good. Finals is what the customers want to see.

Look forward to your tests and posting of full resolution images. I have fast internet connection, so size is not an issue. Please provide R3D, TIFF, PNG, PSD, and JPEG.
