I'm pretty impressed with the image quality. Here's a 100% crop from the third image:

Graham,

It's really impressive! The color is rich. I hope you'll be able to get to test it in a variety of lighting situations. How much post processing did you do? I wonder as a lot of folk would add some spark to the eyes and lighten the face a tad.

Asher

No post really, other than basic colour and curve adjustment. I agree about the eyes in the first shot - I will probably return to that image tomorrow and add a little life.

The 100% crop holds up well. What detail is there in the other black areas like the cord on the head robe, (if that's in focus)?

Well, Graham, we'll have to wait for a picture where the dark tones are included in the plane of sharp focus.
