[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 822832, member: 53455"] Thank you for the effort, I appreciate it. I use a color-calibrated monitor (Eizo ColorEdge), and even though I try to minimize the damage done by the JPEG compression by keeping the quality at 100 percent, there is discernible deterioration [I]versus[/I] the TIFF file that comes out of Photoshop when I’m finished with it. Then, of course, web sites such as Flickr, or probably this forum, use algorithms that also compress and resize without telling you exactly what they do, and this has consequences on the image quality as well. Indeed, that’s why I never resold my D850! ;) That said, the added optical benefits we get from the Z mount outweigh that 0.1 EV difference, in my opinion. For me, there will most likely be no going back to the DSLRs of yesterday. The only lenses in the F-mount lineup that measure up to the Z-mount primes are, once again in my opinion, the three tilt-shifts, because of their very special construction. In addition to the Holy Trinity, I used to work with all the best primes in the F mount, not to mention a couple of Zeiss (15mm, 135mm) and even one Sigma (the 135mm Art), and having experienced what the Z-mount primes produce, I have re-sold them all without regret. At this time, in the F mount, I only keep a 58mm, manual focus Voigtländer Nokton and the Micro-Nikkor 60mm which is great to reproduce flat items on my copy stand. I think I have resold all the others. So, technically, I could still use the D850 (and the D3 and D3S which I also still have), but not with a very wide range of lenses... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
