The Desert Island Dilemma

3 are from the iPhone using the 645Pro app (which records both Jpeg and Tiff) using the C42 film setting and the 10% warm #85 filter. Exposure values 1/120th second @ f/2.4, ISO 50. Nominal lens length 35mm (35mm film) equivalent. The C42 film is supposed to be finer grained and more mellow than the K14 which is in theory vivid/saturated.

3 are from my E-1 (which records both Jpeg and Orf) with the 12-60mm SWD. Exposure values 1/80th second @ f/5.6, ISO 200. Nominal lens length 34mm (35mm film) equivalent.


A few general notes:

I took the iPhone Tiffs and worked them over in LR4 with the goal of obtaining the kind of color values and overall image qualities I am used to with Olympus.

I took the E-1 Orf and applied my usual preset.

Each set of pictures is shown below in this order: Jpeg, Tiff or Orf, then the post processed LR4 images.


C42 Jpeg



C42 Tiff



C42 Tiff processed in LR4



K14 Jpeg



K14 Tiff



K14 Tiff processed in LR4



E-1 Jpeg



E=1 Orf



E-1 processed with my usual preset



I'm a little bemused by the results; better by far than I thought they would be. Not that I'll ever be using a phonecam as my primary, but it is interesting to know that with a little practise I can reasonably expect to obtain a decent image or two if . . .


I'm on a desert island or . . .



You may now draw your own conclusions.

Re: The Desert Island Dilemma

Fascinating set of images, which give food for thought. The only thing I really noticed was the sharper edge detail in the E-1 images, specially the one with your presets applied.

What would complete the experiment is to print both results at A3+ and compare the results. I know my E-1 prints A3 + from a saved Tiff, and gives good results.

As to your dilemma, if it takes a picture use it, rather than lose a photo opportunity

Re: The Desert Island Dilemma

However there is a better chance that you will earn more money from the iPhone image than the non existent Ex image. As you will probably be the only one there to record the tragedy/disaster/event.

However I find that I cannot hold the iPhone steady enough whereas I can almost hold the Ex steady

Re: The Desert Island Dilemma

Not an issue for me as my phone doesn't have a camera!

Is it tied to the wall as well, John?
