Short trip with my new RX100. I'm really impressed with the image quality. High ISO performance is not so good, but at base 125 ISO and adequate aperture (visible diffraction starts at f/7,1), the sharpness and dynamic range are very good, much better than my former Canon 30D. Looking at unprofiled RAW image (this is bottom lef corner of the true raw image camera records https://mediacru.sh/Qjq08NDdJfq9 - remember, compact cameras apply lens correction, as the raw editing software does, this is visible in software which does not support my camera), I'm surprised the camera handles the lens correction so well. No visible vignetting and CA visible only on extreme corners. Anyway, here's a sample:

1/200s f/6,3 ISO 125 @ 28mm - edited, shadows and blacks up, removed CA


center:

1/8s f/11 ISO 80 @ 28mm - edited and handheld


sharpness loss due to f/11, center:

Damn those pictures are tasty!

Thanks!

Another one, going a bit greener this time:

You rule don.

My recent photos.
2nd 3rd and 4th are taken with just bought lens Yashinon 55/1.2 Tomioka
I love it!
It's great for portraits and everything else where bokeh is needed.

Fantastic photography, Ben! As always, your photography is top notch Colors are perfect.

Thanks dude!

Dino, I love that Yashinon. I had a Tomioka 60/2.8 macro that was also amazing. Suggest you grab one up if you can find it.

Don, these are as great as always! Incredible colours, details, framing, composition - I'd call you my source of inspiration if you don't mind.

Some of my last tries:

Thanks mate! Would there be the possibility of a tiny credit or link? Where'd you like to use them, btw?

I don't know, I thought about steam or something like that.

I'd be thankful for a recommendation as well. Is it possible to clean the sensor yourself without damaging anything? I heard it should better be done by a professional, but that would be quite expensive I guess ...

It can be done on your own. You can buy sensor swabs that are made specifically to be used on your sensor. They are usually pretty pricy for what they are, though. You can also get complete kits that contain everything you will need.

Read this to get the basics down:

There are different methods and ways to approach sensor cleaning. It might seem a bit scary at first but as long as you use common sense and take your time, you should be fine.
