M6 ii

[DavidEccleston]

I was surprised how close the 5DIV and M6II 10ft shots were. The 5DIV looked to be a bit better resolved, using the 600 marker on the right as my guide. In the 5DIV image I could see the white between the lines continuing, while on the M6 that was the point where it became more of a general grey tone.

So, imagine my surprise when you followed up with the M6II full size, and you can see detail all the way to the 800 mark.

My takeaways are:

1) modern crop sensors are quite an improvement from even 5 years ago.
2) Current resizing algorithms can hide detail that should be visible. I tried every resize option in PS CC. It appears you used Bicubic. While I could get slightly clearer text, the lines blurred to grey at pretty much the same point in all algorithms. I then did a content aware scale. This was, uh, unique. Text was quite readable. Lines remained visible all the way in. It was not, in any way, a usable result though.

Ha...you took the resizing to a whole other level. I just used LR and set it to resize to the dimensions of the 5DIV image. No clue what algorithm it used.
