[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 328139, member: 9240"] Martin, the one thing you can't truly add in post processing are details that aren't captured in the first place. You can use software to approximate them, but you can put them in. I have a D800, and regret now not spending the extra $300 for the D800e with the OLPF removed. I'd seen sample shots comparing the two and while you could see the additional details it's just not the same in samples as it is when you're finally confronted with it face to face in your own camera. I have no issues with the IQ of either the D600 or D800, [I]but[/I] if I can get that bump [I]without compromising other aspects of IQ[/I], then as I said $400 is less than I'd spend on a lens upgrade, so if I've still got over 100K shots left on a shutter it's a worthwhile investment. I'm going to do some more research - a lot more research - before making a final decision. User experiences are key here, and the drawback for me is the Kolari is [I]much[/I] smaller than Lifepixel, so finding multiple samples from the same camera I want to convert may prove challenging in the short term.
