A landscape from my hometown

[Phil]

This is a pretty cliché photo in my city, but it was a good way to test the dynamic range of my X-T1. The dynamic range compared to my Canon 70D is huge. 

 

Here's a photo from my old Canon. I'd pushed the shadows about as far as I could before the noise got too noticeable.

And here's one from the X-T1 with the 18mm. I stopped lifting the shadows not because of noise, but because I was approaching HDR levels of dynamic range.

the tones look great to me Phil.  Nice star burst at f/16. 

I can't find the focal distance in your EXIF data. Do you remember where you focused?

Nice!

Thanks. IIRC is was probably infinity. I used AF each time because it was cold and I was in a hurry. It's not the sharpest photo I've ever seen, but it was the 18mm, and I was using one of those little plastic table top tripods, so there was probably some shake in there.
