5D Mark III OLPF mod for higher resolution video

1 posts
  1. We all know that the 5D3 has gotten rid of the aliasing, and James Miller found out it was due to an Optical Low Pass Filter, which also resulted in a loss of resolution as well. Of course, James decided to remove the OLPF and got an increase in resolution. Of course, no such thing as a free lunch and the OLPF also acts as a IR "hor" mirror and the blacks sorta shifted purple!

    Here are a few sample original files:

    The original VIMEO clip is here.

     

    Of course, if you don't want to do that. A few people like Phil Bloom and myself have found the 5D3 in ALL-I format takes sharpening in post well. I'll try to do a comparison later. :) Happy disassembly! :)
