Advertisement Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Hi jpk, Take a look here Does anybody prefer the IQ of 006 over 007?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mgrayson3 Posted July 12, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2016 I prefer the default 006 look to the default 007 look. I didn't spend enough time with the 007 to see if I could adjust its profile in LR. If they were closer in price, I'd have the 007. I love the Q, so I'm not worried about Leica and CMOS. My friend who shoots celebrities for a living prefers the 006, but he used an S2 for years and is used to its processing. He always shoots the 006 with lights, and uses an SL for anything needing higher ISO. I think he'd be just as happy if an 007 fell in his lap. My 2 cents, Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted July 13, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2016 They are definitely different and distinctive. Both are excellent in my opinion so no favorite here... Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted July 13, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2016 BTW, David Farkas has developed LR presets for both the 006 and 007 that really bring the files to life. I am sure he will share the secret sauce! Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chipcarterdc Posted July 13, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 13, 2016 No. I have both and don't find any noticeable difference in file rendering at lower ISOs. At higher ISOs, I obviously prefer the 007. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted July 14, 2016 Share #8 Posted July 14, 2016 OK, these opinions are rather different :-) .....meaning just like almost every other gear related topic ever posted on the forum. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chipcarterdc Posted July 14, 2016 Share #9 Posted July 14, 2016 To expand a bit: I don't know whether the person who finds them different and distinctive actually owns both concurrently. I do, and I don't find a visibly appreciable difference at lower ISOs. On the other hand, perhaps he, like me, does own both concurrently, but his eye is finer than mine. I can only report my own impressions. Also: I profiled my cameras using the X-Rite color checker. Perhaps the fact that I'm using these custom profiles "flattens" any inherent difference between the two. Last: I too would like to know where to find the Farkas presets.

jip Posted July 14, 2016 Share #10 Posted July 14, 2016 Yes I prefer the 006 look, but the 007 is a lot more flexible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpk Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share #12 Posted July 21, 2016 Some interesting findings by other forum members regarding 006 vs 007 color here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
faranstudio Posted July 22, 2016 Share #13 Posted July 22, 2016 I prefer CCD (006) for studio and portraiture work. Skin tones look more natural and noise/grain is just beautiful. S007 is a good system for all type of applications including fashion and architecture. In addition live view is a plus for focus accuracy when I shoot landscape.
