>>4258269>The CAMERA is sharperThis test scene
1: uses different lenses on almost every camera
2: exposes in manual mode, and then raises exposure in post to match a phase one IQ4s exposure, so it's also a mild ISO invariance test in addition to a lens test
3: Delivers an upscaled jpeg to mac users, not just a larger chunk of the image.. so you're looking at an upscaled jpeg.
4: Mostly reflects lightroom's own demosaicing algorithm and color profiles rather than anything to do with cameras
5: Is subject to human error and lens quirks like field curvature where the depth of field has a dramatically convex, concave, or tilted shape that is unnoticeable IRL but creates measured edge softness when shooting chart and test scenes
