>From a post processing perspective, the E-1 file takes more work to
get the luminance right, but the 6D file takes more work to get the
colors right. The E-1 files are lovely in the middle brightness
ranges, but a huge pain in the highlights. The 6D has a couple stops
more luminance range to work from, but you have to crank the living
daylights out of the saturation to get it to where the E-1 is
natively.
So the question arises . . .
Why do you persist with E-1 and 6D?
. . . . I'm quite impressed with the E-M5 images and feel
that Olympus did a good job of bringing the latest batch of cameras
back full circle.
Without a doubt, I feel that Olympus has the best color signature of
all reasonably affordable cameras on the market.
E-M5 II bodies are cheap now, even new. Although a Metabones adapter for the OM glass isn't cheap, you could have one
camera for both uses, with consistent color and processing. And . . . IBIS! You could keep the 6D and occasionally whip
it, without actually having to use it for photography. ;-)

The Leica SL is a camera that is just as good, if not a bit better.
Based on Tina's photos, I'd say the SL is mostly as good, with occasional extra magic. Actually, many of her AE Russia
pix were too high key/overexposed for my taste. The vast majority don't impress me as being something my Olys wouldn't do.
OTOH, the subtlety and depth of colors in this one knock me out!

And the subtle tonal graduations in the highlights here are pretty impressive.

There are certainly a few that show something special.
Beyond the SL, I
think you have to jump far into Phase One land to get anything comparable.
Canons and Nikons need not apply. SONYs, just do the best job you can.
I've actually rather liked the Raw files from the original A7. The Adobe Raw profiles mean the differences are modest. A
really easy, comfortable camera for use with FF, MF lenses. The big LCD, the magnify function, focus 'sparklies' and the
Over/under indicators are wonderful tools for working at odd angles and for precise focus and exposure. The EVF works
well for me, too, but that may not mean much, as I am notoriously VF agnostic.
Working with MF lenses means hardly using menus and many of the controls at all. :-) They too are cheap. No IS, but you
have none with legacy lenses on the 6D, either.
