>>2953917The crops don't hinder the ability to compare the shots. In any case, nowadays (if I shoot with the K3) I'm always exposing to the left by -1EV or so. The demo "before" image was something like -4EV. I shot these images a while ago and can't remember exactly how it was exposed.
Unfortunately I don't have any other DSRLs to make a comparison with (aside from a 30d). God knows I wouldn't want to do this with the GR1d.
In any case, I think folks underestimate their body's abilities. Modern sensors are remarkably capable. Here's another image recovered in the same way.
