After the initial discussions with Falk this (aggressive post-sharpening) is obviously the fundamental difference in our positions.[/quote]
Can you please elaborate?
Do you not agree that capture sharpening is adequate and can restore detail to the extent the sensor is capable of recording?
The K-5's AA filter is not too strong, i.e., it doesn't destroy information that the sensor would have been able to record without it. This holds true for colour photography. Known B&W patterns are a different issue. I invited a discussion about this difference a couple of times, but so far without any success.
To summarise, don't you agree that regarding colour photography it is inadequate to call the K-5's AA filter "strong" or to speak of an "AA filter issue"?
To what extent the lack of an AA filter can help improve lens test and what the dangers might be in doing so, are interesting questions which, I think, should be explored.
