Very nice set Thomas, lovely colours. Were you using the MC version?

Many thanks for the compliments, gentlemen.

Yes, it's the MC version. A nice and tiny lens. Very useful for hiking.

Compared today my CV 40/1.4 for landscape photography on different cameras.

If used on my A7R II for the perfect picture F16 is needed for tack sharp corners.

On the Ricoh GXR-M APS-C camera the same perfect corner sharpness is already achieved by F5.6.

Here are the example pictures both at F5.6 (clickable for best viewing quality):

Sony A7R II:



Ricoh GXR-M:



100% view corner crop from Sony:



100% view corner crop from Ricoh:



If I want to achieve similar corner sharpness on the FF Sony camera I have to stop down to F16. Same story with almost every lens....

Conclusion: Up to a certain presentation size the 12MP APS-C camera provides better image quality compared to the 42MP FF camera, but with with a reduced angle of view.
Have done similar comparisons with wider angle lenses and even if the Sony is used only in APS-C mode, the Ricoh ALWAYS wins at same output size.
However, the maximum possible output size of the Ricoh is rather limited compared to the Sony high resolution camera. This is like comparing 135 film with medium format 120.
