Nobody's talking about dealers here, we're talking sensors (or that's what I thought we did...)Wow. That was really nice. I know Ray and he is interested. But you remind me why I really value dealers...
The Adobe Camera Raw conversion of Phase one files is terrible and if I recall correctly it was pretty crappy with the Aptus files too.Anyway, here's the resulting shots, apart from White Balance it is pretty much as they are from the cameras, processed in Lightroom.
Agreed. The output is MUCH better (and I use LR for my wedding workflow).The Adobe Camera Raw conversion of Phase one files is terrible and if I recall correctly it was pretty crappy with the Aptus files too.
Try Capture One.
Nice. Was that with a 645 film back?This:
I just put a couple of files through a trial of C1 and compared to LR3 there isn't much in them. Least not enough for me to make the switch. But, it's something I will play with.Agreed. The output is MUCH better (and I use LR for my wedding workflow).
Yair and Shashin, no worries - I took no offence whatsoever. I was genuine in my "genuinely curious" remark - I was open to new information and Yair came up trumps, providing some really, really interesting new information. It would be great if there was some central public storehouse of such information - other than in the brains of people like Yair!Nobody's talking about dealers here, we're talking sensors (or that's what I thought we did...)
But if you insist I actually value the dealers very much, especially those who are passionate about the product they sell, this is not dissimilar to photographers who are passionate about what they do and what they sell...and BTW there was no offence meant towards Ray...don't know why you took it that way?
Back to topic now...
Hasselblad's Focus software has the same type of selections ... which also are not in LR. The equivalent in LR would be User Presets that you would build and load based on your personal tastes.I just put a couple of files through a trial of C1 and compared to LR3 there isn't much in them. Least not enough for me to make the switch. But, it's something I will play with.
One thing that is trowing me a little is that I cannot seem to find anything, anywhere, about the curve and portrait modes on the back, C1 has them listed as things like Aptus 22 Open, Aptus 22 Portrait, Portrait soft etc.
These aren't present in Lightroom.
For B&W conversions I use the Nik Silver Efex Pro-2 plug-in for LR and also have it as a plug-in for PSCS5 if I want to also work in Layers.Marc, if you don't mind me asking what do you use in LR plugin wise that would assist?
No, but I'll take a look.Thanks Marc, similar to what I use, but via CS5. Have you seen Alien Exposure 4 yet?
I know you were kidding... it's all fun and games!Nice. Was that with a 645 film back?
RE: WHAT's FILM, Just yankin' your chain Fred. Love B&W film ... but not as much from a 645 camera. Prefer either gritty 35mm or tone rich 6X7 ... never cared for in-between all that much ... which is why I never cared if my 645 digital camera shot film or not.
But I'm done with film ... finally tossed out all the darkroom stuff and will donate my Kaiser MF enlarger to some school or something.

Mark Mann's GraflexIt was shot on the Fuji GX680. Largest format SLR available.

The film is Panatomic-X
here is a crop:
I would really love to have a 44MP sensor that is twice the size of the P25+ for this camera. It would be simply amazing.
I have yet to find a camera that I like as much as the Fuji GX680.
