Hi Bart,
OK, lets get this right. I am the most unscientific tester on the planet........ OK
Unfortunately I have no gloss paper & these shots are straight off the screen.
Paul, you should have shot it from a larger distance. When printed at the indicated PPI setting, the resolution of the target can reach something like 10 cycles/mm (roughly 10 line pairs/mm) or a bit better on glossy paper. The shooting distance of 25x focal length (or more) will produce a projection reduction of another 25 times so you're effectively shooting a 250 cycles/mm target, enough to out-challenge your lens as well.
On screen the highest target resolution is just in the order of 2 line pairs, which at 25x FL amounts to 50 cycles/mm, well in range of the sensor+AA filter, so not a big challenge (even less when shot from closer distances). Shooting from screen could work if the shooting distance becomes 125x the focal length distance, which would require a large studio for the longer lenses.
Nevertheless ...
I was definitely surprised at what I saw on the screen, the MK3 easily won. & the MK2 had a magenta cast.
Yes, while at the lower end of the target becoming really meaningful, it already was revealed that the image (processing) pipeline makes a significant difference (assuming equally well focused images) in the end result. If anything, there seems little wrong with your MK3's focus on stationary subjects ...
Now, whether it is due to the AA-filter being less strict, or a different Raw conversion protocol, or just a focus issue, remains to be seen. For that the target al least needs to be shot from further away, because that will challenge the optical path to its limits, and aliasing becomes clear (the only question is how much clearer). When the aliasing filter's influence (and that of larger microlenses on the sensels) can be factored out of the equation, then the remainder must be due to post-processing.
By the way, I probably should have added a warning for people with epileptic tendencies, don't stare at the full screen image!
Bart
