>>300731 This is absolutely correct. This information is a good thing, I'm glad it's there. But in the current climate it's going to have a negative effect; it's important to understand the technical aspects of whatever you're doing, but there's also the need for the perspective to just say "fuck it." People don't have the latter, and it's going to shit up the climate. It's like, look, T-Max 400 has finer grain than Tri-X. But T-Max has shit tones, something you can't quantify, and Tri-X is, well, legendary.
It's the same thing, incidentally, with sensors, lenses, etc. Remember back a few years ago when people talked about "Olympus Color," supposedly more realistic color from Olympus DSLRs and compacts? (I never saw it, but all this is subjective.) Or how people just seemed (and seem) to like the files from the 5D, in ways you can't put down to the larger sensor alone? Or how the famous "glow" of Leica glass, usually lower-resolution than Zeiss. Something else I've just tended to see personally is that Canon sensors tend to have less noise overall, but when they do have it tends more to banding than other brands. That's not quantifiable either.
