Hi Folks,
the Samsung NX tests rely on Capture1 RAW conversion. In C1 it is easily possible to enable/disable distortion auto-correction so the effect is both measurable as well as directly comparable here. We had a debate on this a couple of times.
I've now included both MTF/Quality charts in the 20/2.8 and 30/2 review (mouse over).
It is fairly obvious now that the correction comes at a price - the higher the correction level the higher the loss in quality. So the NX 20/2.8 looses more here than the 30/2.
I reckon, however, that the C1 algorithm is a little rough. I haven't seen such an extreme difference in the M43 section.
NOTE1: It may be that you have to flush your browser cache.
NOTE2: The uncorrected RAWs produced a higher peak so I had to adjust the max. value accordingly.
NOTE3: In future tests I will only provide the RAW chart. It is too much effort to generate both.
