AdamMark Posted January 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have posted on this forum before re - Leica 23mm F2 , as I'm on the cusp of buying a Leica CL and that lens. I have previously used a Fuji XT2 with the Fuji 23mm f1.4. Very nice set up. Please don't shoot me down in flames but I'm very curious. I have looked at images ( full resolution 6000 X 4000 ) in L/R taken by both cameras with their 23mm lens offerings. The point is this. In my opinion the Leica images look better ie better colour / tone etc. When I view the images at 100% on my MacBook Pro 15" the Leica images still look better however when viewed at 200% the Leica images tend to "break up" more whilst the Fuji images retain more detail and a somewhat smoother rendition without any artefacts. Has anybody had the same experience please and what are your views ? Thank you , Adam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Hi AdamMark, Take a look here Leica CL & 23mm f2 summicron v Fuji XT2 & 23mm f1.4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Gregm61 Posted January 17, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Honestly, viewing anything at 200% is just looking for something to be worried about. Edited January 17, 2021 by Gregm61 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 17, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 17, 2021 My opinion? That this kind of exercise has nothing to do with photography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chef Posted January 17, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 17, 2021 I have a CL + TL23mm combination and love it. I like what comes out of this combo (there are a few in the CL image pinned posts on the most recent page) and I like the “handiness” of it all as well. Bluntly, if I was into pixel peeping I would buy a microscope not a camera, preferring to focus on ideas, composition and light. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't add any data to the image, only artefacts created by the screen or the computer i suspect but i may be wrong as i'm no techie at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Markey Posted January 18, 2021 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2021 The CL and the 23 is a lovely combination. Buy it and use it and you`ll forget all about pixel peeping . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicci78 Posted January 22, 2021 Share #9 Posted January 22, 2021 100% is ok. more is useless. Just go buy a 47MP cameras. Then look at 100% anything beyond 100% is just how lightroom will made up for the non existent data. please keep in mind that 100% is already guess work for the colour information. Lightroom has to guess which colour is the pixel. 24MP sensor = 6MP of red + 6MP of blue + 6+6MP of green (light gathering differential between greens will give you luminance information) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephengv Posted February 2, 2021 Share #10 Posted February 2, 2021 I love the 23 Summicron and CL. I also have an M 240 and 35 Cron ASPH, I must say, the photos of the CL and the 23 is comparable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CL has the saturated Leica colors from Leica M ? tanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can say, when the photos are mixed up in Lightroom, I can’t tell the difference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in my use, colour saturation depends on the image, not on the camera, as it is a choice in postprocessing. Colours can range from monochrome to garish, with any camera. Just a slider's push away... I would not say that the 240 produces typical "Leica" (whatever that means, I guess you mean Kodak-based colour) colours straight out of the camera. It took me a few weeks of profiling and tweaking to get them to match my M9 settings. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
