FAQ:
>They are both at f5.6 dis isnt equibalencef5.6 results in the same exposure regardless of sensor size. It's used because it is almost every lenses sharpest aperture on almost every camera so the scene doesn't contain distracting diffraction issues. "Equivalence" matches DOF, not exposure. You then raise the ISO after closing the aperture to simulate the effect of having a smaller sensor and keep the exposure, ahem, equivalent. That's what equivalence is, artificial DOF and ISO noise matching.
>OK, I get it. They just raised the ISO and raised the shutter speed and left the aperture alone to avoid diffraction, since DOF doesnt matter for a flat chart. Shutter speed on GFX not high enough for two ISO steps tho?Dpreview reduces illumination in their test scene at high ISOs. This is in the tooltip on their page - illumination reduced to 9ev. This creates a standardized procedure that allows for cameras with low max shutter speeds to be tested.
>I shoot nothing but my cat, handheld, inside, at night. Equivalence applies to me all the time. So why should I care?The intended customer for medium format cameras is a professional who shoots with flash 80% of the time and schedules outdoor shoots in good weather the other 20%. You'd just be paying a lot of extra money for ~2 stops of ISO performance out of a glorified 6lb 24mp camera. The funny part is BTFOing the tripfag and his fuji hateboner.

Downsampling is an effective global noise reduction method.
