Rick -
This was a very well done comparison test. I have several comments,
and a suggestion:
It would seem that the SS4000 outperformed the ED4000 in shadow detail.
The ED4000 seems to have outperformed the SS4000 by capturing a
greater portion of the Q60 E6 target gamut. (see plots sent
The Fuji pro NPC 160 is indeed high contrast, and if you want smooth
textures of skintones (without accentuating wrinkles from contrast),
suggest instead the (Fuji) pro NPH 400, or the pro NHG II 800 for
both speed, great depth of field in poor light, excellent gamut,
