Originally posted by LeDave In case you haven't seen this also, he even compared the FA 31 Limited to the Leica 35 f/1.4 Summilux. For a $4,500 lens vs a $1,000 lens, the results really show the cost differential.
M9 has 18 MP, K-7 - 14.6 MP.
Leica has no AA filter, K-7 has.
If it's JPEG, I can say that there is difference in JPEG defaults and JPEG engines too.
Anyway, FF LEICA without AA filter at all will be ALWAYS sharper than ANY APS-C camera.
I don't see that Leica is MUCH sharper. It's very-very good at f1.4. But at f1.8 both lenses are very close.
As for CA - FA31 has very low CA. What is he talking about?
Bokeh - I like FA31 more.
