So I have the file from the 645z. No corner softness....and uniform centre to edge sharpness. More uniform than my Sigma ART's and 2.8 70-200 and as 35mm lenses go these are top drawer.
I felt the 645 needed more of a sharpen overall than one off a full frame but centre to edge this is really impressive once you do. You could trust it completely and not have to compose to crop.
Working off a TIFF - wouldn't say the shadow recovery is anything ground breaking over a Nikon D8x0 body...however if you had a Canon 5d3 or even 5d4 I think you'd be bowled over by the shadow recovery and dynamic range on offer.
The 50mp res is good...but so is the Nikon at 36mp. Yes better...but not going to change your life different. There is a leap up obviously with the resolution and at 100% this is a brilliant device. No doubt.
Boost the blacks a little, lift out the top 3/4 point in the tone curve and play with the saturation and it is a notch up from what I got. The colour really stands out, lovely and natural. Sublime even as is the detail in the highlights.
For a landscaper after an SLR this is a very tempting proposition.
I'd want more computing grunt though...more RAM, better GPU but I will build an amazing machine soon. Once that is done...yes...this is a contender.
