Enstshuldigen Sie das ich English schreibe Weil main Deutsch nicht taugt.
Sirs,
Your countryman Goethe wrote about colours and the English bishop Berkeley explored the reality of sense impressions, So it is impossible to KNOW that others have the same internal necessarily private experience of colours. Hence most are satisfied by labelling such as "gesmachssache".
Although the same observer may like or dislike various camera technical transformations of the sum of photons that is represented on the final output medium, as said above, there are ways to control this. And the key issue is what result will please you, probably an automatic result of early experience.
In my case, I learnt to like the collapsible Summicron 50 with Panatomic X and Ilford B&W and was only interested in whatever I focussed on, not som much in backgrounds (except for avoiding tlegraph poles growing out of the heads of subjects) I never thought about colour until transparencies became possible. Hence Kodachrome trained a preference for hicgh contrast and saturation. Until i discovered that Agfa CT18 would render some landscapes and portraits in a more pleasant way.
Later I discovered 6x9 linhof negatives and wanted comparable detail in smaller formats (which required Technical Pan with its impossible contrasts).
When digitals arrived wIth a Kodaks digital SLR, I could get Kodachrome -like colours but 14Mpx did not allow much enlargement so now, 15 years after I got rid of the Kodak, I still insensitively prefer sharp and sufficiently contrasty records of daily life, even with vintage non-Leitz optics without worrying much about potential spectral anomalies. I always need a proper sunshade and quite often rinse the flat bits out of each end of the histogram even if it alters colur balance.
