    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    So you’re telling me there’s a chance…

    Backlight: Rodenstock Digarons vs. others

    In addition to flags/hoods, I carry some small dodgers (darkroom tools) on wires to block in-frame light sources like this. Another thing to composite out, but it’s just a fact of life shooting interiors.

    App for previewing various focal lengths and aspect ratios?

    It also allows you to scout shots in challenging locations while looking like a harmless “normal person with a phone”.

    Phase One xf iq4 100mp trichromatic new user

    Does the IQ4 100 have the same computational features as the 150?

    05/08/25 New Features for C1

    Meh. Still on 16.2.5, won't be upgrading until Hasselblad is supported. AI, style copying, half-assed pano & HDR, wedding/portrait features are useless to me.

    Fuji GFX 100s: Blurred image parts

    What happens if you take a sequence of the "same" shot? Have you tested indoors to eliminate the possibility of atmospheric effects? Do the blurred areas move around? Also curious about different raw converters' impact.

    A Beginner’s Guide to Technical Cameras — Architectural Photography Almanac

    His camera type names are completely off from any use I've ever heard, which could be very confusing for someone looking for a "beginner's guide". Has anyone ever heard Alpas, Arca R or Cambo WRS referred to as "flatbed cameras"?

    Phase One IQ5 – Sony 247 MPX – 3:2 – will you get it?

    I like to stay on the leeward side of new tech progression. So, I’ll be looking for deals on the previous generation (IQ4) stuff from those who want to step off the upgrade treadmill.

    New Limited Edition from Hasselblad for 'Adventurous Photographers'!

    I’m in favor of always pointing out cringey marketing language, whoever it comes from.

    NIKKOR PC-E Micro 85 mm 1:2,8D, Tilt-Shift

    Here's a distant test shot at f/8 - 3 Z7 portrait frames shifted 11.5mm apart with the lens shift mechanism, so 36x47mm virtual sensor size, ~90MP. There's a hint of aliasing in the fine twigs at the upper corners. 100% details of upper right corner: 1. All corrections on - sharpening...

    NIKKOR PC-E Micro 85 mm 1:2,8D, Tilt-Shift

    Based on my copy of the 85 PC-E: Good in a modern classic sense. What’s in focus is sharp across a 36x47mm 3 Z7 frame stitch. There’s some minimal lateral CA ~1px in the shifted corners. I haven’t noticed any significant distortion and I’m usually pretty picky about that. Where it shows its...

    Lens suggestions for small view camera for digital

    Yes, duplication lens - “D” in its same. That means it’s optimized for flat subjects at 1:1. Quality drops off quickly as you get away from 1:1 (sharpness, CA, distortion).

    mutiexposure via B mode with large format lenses including shutter on a digital leica M?!?!

    Do you have a mounting method in mind? If you don't want to re-cock the shutter between exposures, you'll need a press-type shutter (self-cocking). Actual LF lenses in the 50mm range will be wide angle design. Something salvaged from an old medium format or 35mm folder might be more...

    Cube care and Lubrication

    Great thread - can't believe I missed it the first time around! I 'temporarily' used some cellophane tape on one side of the clamp ways to level mine. I was intending to replace it with something more permanent/durable, but never got around to it. I've done the same thing with L-brackets to...

    If only you had 247 MP... What could you have done?

    I've delivered files in the 2-300MP range - stitched from 24-150MP frames. With proper planning there really wasn't much difference in effort between starting with low vs high-res frames. Most of the labor was post-production on the giant stitched files.

    Mark II Artist's Viewfinder APP

    If you set up your custom cameras using the Alpa 12XY base, you can use the app’s shift preview feature. It’s a bit awkward to use, but it’s there. If you have a phone with multiple lenses, you don’t need a clip-on lens to preview the wider angle lenses. The super-wide lens on an iPhone is...

    Mark II Artist's Viewfinder APP

    Very much worth it. I use it all the time for scouting. I’ve also set it up to visualize stitched FoV.

    The great tripod & head thread!

    Well, it's expensive running Leofoto's R&D department for them.
