Comparing the two I like the original one although it is a bit low key, it
preserve better contrast. You may want to check your monitor, the grey bar
on dpreview provide a good entry point. You should be able to separate each
block of grey.
Concerning color of LS10, my one never match with my 4000ED, the 4000ED
gives almost exact color reproduction with a fixed sligthly twise of curves
(compensate the slightly bluish, I do the compare with a 5000K monitor and
the slide under a 5000K light box.)
