Re: 5DS scores at DXO drop **tomorrow** (i.e. 7/8/15)
Please explain the importance and/or relevance of dynamic range to a Lens Score.
Corneria said:Sorry, I don't get the problem. DxO presents lens scores -in combination with- cameras. So if you have a 'superior' body with a 'inferior' lens (Nikon), that can give you the same overall result as a 'inferior' body with a 'superior' lens (Canon).bdunbar79 said:The problem dilbert, is that they are NOT following that logic in lens scores. How many times do I need to cite the 500mm lenses comparisons/scores of the Canon vs. Nikon and they specifically said they scored the Nikon lens the same as the Canon, despite it not performing as well as a lens, simply because of the superior DR of the Nikon camera used for the Nikon lens (I think it was the D800 and 5D3).
Obviously that is complete garbage to a scientist and I do contend it has absolutely no real-world usefulness. Or, better, the SCORES don't reflect reality.
Sounds more 'real-word' to me than just lens tests. Unless you already have a body and are not interested in other brands, this is not super-interesting. But this way you can compare the end result of several systems. You'd have no usage to hear that a Pentax lens is 'vastly superior' to anything on the market while their cameras are garbage (for example of course), if you want the best overall result.
If I misunderstood you, I'd like to hear what you mean.
