    Dramatic, expressionistic lighting, absolute depth of field, almost black & white. Our physiologic night vision (scotopic vision) shares some of these characteristics, but not all. Although our irises are wide open, we won't see things out of focus, because the rod cells are not concentrated in the fovea but instead spread over the whole retina (like here). But we would see light sources in full color, it's like "Lum Vs Sat" in Resolve. Nice, I prefer this over he modern "Night for Day" - approach that modern sensors and their lowlight-capabilities provide. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm not attacking him because his age, my answer was for his reply, the reply sounds like an old grumpy man just putting words without any sense, just for trying to be grumpy. I respect and work with a lot of people older than me, and no one ever answer me like this guy. I even asked the same question to some directors and DPs and helped me a lot with a nice and kind approach. Let's finish this here, please.
    Also, of course I can do some Youtube/Vimeo search, BUT if I'm asking here is because I want to know the opinion of the people around here. I'm looking for "curated" content by users of this forum, people who makes videos and have nice opinions. For me at least this is a nice and different approach to just "looking on youtube".

    Yes it is.
    You can never say that a higher resolution is always better than a low. Because we know for a fact that people like both.
    DR.. some prefer a contrasty look.
    Sharpness can make an image both beautiful and ugly (just look at your new lenses. They do not win any sharpness measuring contests, but you still like them).
    This list goes on and on.
    Name one variable and I will find you people that prefer both sides of a scale.
    IQ is a subjective feeling.  Not a measurable fact.
    Understanding this is one of the things that separates a creator from a "guy with a camera" imo.

    Exactly! Or getting that same computer to decide whether Rembrandt or Monet is the better artist. I think we get way too hung up on numbers as a way of measuring entirely subjective aesthetic qualities.
    Another factor could just be that the majority of people willing to make the many thousands of dollars/pounds/euros investments for medium format cameras and lenses simply tend to be accomplished photographers.

    Sure - these are all technical aspects of image quality and they are technically meaningful - I take notice of them myself. In my original comment I was referring to @jcs's (who I admire greatly in most things) notion of setting up semi-scientific tests to determine compression and DOF differences between two sensor/film formats - essentially trying to quantify an aesthetic quality or preference. The essence is that no scientific test will ever determine why a medium format photograph appeals more to an individual than the same scene shot on full frame or micro four thirds, or vice versa. It seems a pointless exercise, which was the crux of my comment.
    I spend and have spent an inordinate amount of money on cameras and I like to have instruments that are as close to the best as I can't afford but can justify to myself (if not to my wife). That's not because I think they will make me a better photographer or film maker - if they do it will only be tangentially because they make the process easier. The best camera in the world can't make up for a lack of artistic sensibility or vision, while the worst camera in the world won't fully obscure the same qualities. I buy expensive cameras for the same reason that I rarely take photographs or videos on my phone - because I enjoy the sensual aspect of making images with a well-made tool designed for that purpose. Scientific tests have their place in determining the measures you mention, but I just can't see their value in determining immeasurable phenomena.

    That makes just as much sense as asking a computer to calculate what ice cream flavour that is the "best".
