Will is certainly a good self promoter and comes up with interesting
projects to call attention to his workshops, etc.
I'm not sure what this one really means. In including only two brands,
no matter that they dominate the market in general, he makes the results
pretty narrow. Leaving out the Sigmas and the E-1, in particular, as
cameras with reps for excellent portrait results, he leaves the
ostensible question of which camera gives the best skin tone unanswered.
And for those who use RAW and various neutral and/or color references to
control processing in their workflow, the results are meaningless.
Still, a fun thing to follow.
Think he will say how close the results are later?
