Measurbation with Real-world Photos II

Further to my Measurbation with Real-world Photos last time with my Olive K-m, I continue to measurbate my Navy K-x in a similar way by doing real-life shootings and endless and repeated measurbations at the same time! ;-D

I post one latest example produced by my K-x produced with its in-camera JPEG engine, which is a night scene this time, EXIF data preserved, lens used is my early Japanese production FA 43 Limited:-

Happy pixel peeling! Well, it can be seen that my Limited lens actually exceeds the K-x in resolution. So, I am still waiting for a better Pentax DSLR as such! ;->

Thanks so much. Can you also post some raw unprocessed DNGs from K-x + 43Ltd? Or if you have ones could you please send them to my email? Thanks a lot.

I usually do not shoot RAW for years now. Maybe later I would do a test comparing the RAW against the in-camera JPEG, of which I shall make a Blog Post with DNG/PEF and JPEG files that can be downloaded, just for the sake of testing and measurbation, maybe..
A little bit grey on both of two screen?
And the detail?
Also use K-x
so, how do you see, that the lense exceeds the body in resolution from the JPG given? Correct me if I am wrong; what I see is rather blurred due to heafty JPG compression. In general, how would you judge the lenses potential versus body resolution?

When you see clear pixel blocks at pixel level but yet a "well" defined image, lens resolves better than the sensor. When you see blurred image and parts even not viewing in full, the sensor outresolves the lens.

Btw, if you want less compression and original image, go to that specific Photobucket album and there is an option to download the original un-retouched image in full.
