Leitz Flesh HDR Anatomy

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

I used Leitz Summitar and it was the most amazing lens in dark. It gives little black dots covered the face and gives all anatomic details. It is like Da Vinci fighting warriors drawings. You saw same quality at Chinese Olympics with Panasonic cameras especially at dark saloon sport shots. All flesh details , all anatomy revealed by these cameras.
But how can I do it again without expensive lenses but with photoshop or other softwares ? I think something is hidden at HDR softwares. These softwares sometimes reveal the most amazing detail but generally results are pretty ugly or wild.
Well what is the point ? What gives these Da Vinci Flesh details at dark with panasonic and Leica and what is the common thing with HDR technology ?

The simple answer is that HDR technology can't replace the quality of Leica ASPH lenses - that is if I understand your question. Since you mention Panasonic/Leica I'm not sure that the optics of those cameras can be replicated with digital technology such as HDR as well.
