Samples

The following images were taken with a Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 lens, mounted on a Nikon D800D810 body. Each image was recorded in RAW and converted with Lightroom 5.6/6.6 at Camera Standard settings. Noise-reduction was set to 0, sharpening to 70/0.5/36/10 (35/0.5/36/10 on D810), and no extra tone, color, or saturation-adjustment was used. The individual exposure details are available for each image.

All of the images are available to download in their original formats for analysis at Flickr. These files are for personal evaluation only and cannot be used in another publication or website without permission.
