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

    I would need to dig out a bunch of references to give a proper answer and that is work. I am out of touch will all this and would probably screw it up anyway, Basically, visible aliasing is not a photographic limiting factor with 150 MP, while smaller sensor area and smaller circle of...

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

    Paul, I just skim this thread but I have to say I am worried about the IQ5. Sure, we are going to be able to crop in while having comparable pixel numbers to an IQ4, but does it really work well? Smaller pixels are, in every way but theoretical resolution, a bad thing. Then there is the...

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

    To tell the truth I still find the images from my IQ180 are fine and that any carelessness in technique (eg mount stability) makes an 80 MP sensor indistinguishable from a 150 MP sensor. To be clear, more resolution in a larger sensor offers real benefits, but the chance that a 250MP standard...

    Oh come on. The guy is hand holding that camera. Lens and any fancy back are wasted.

    Engraved lens caps for Rodenstock lenses

    I find that the standard Sensei center pinch plastic caps work fine with Rodi lenses. About $5 at B&H. However, these caps do not attach well when there is a slim filter, or a Kase magnetic filter mount on the front of the lens. Slip on caps work better, then. A real problem arises if you...

    Medium format objects

    Once upon a time there was an Italian pen company, OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni) . They made nice pens, and were well known for an attractive celluloid material called Arco. No one makes celluloid any more (safety reasons) so OMAS was able to use its stock to corner the fancy...

    IQ5 rumors

    I agree it would be very cool, but probably unfair to expect. We once built systems that could stitch dozens of discrete images and I won't go into the difficulties, but they are numerous. Moving sensor packages for multishot is trivial in comparison, and you know how often even that fails...

    Medium format objects

    When is it a nude and when is it a photo of art? I would suggest that both Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's Venus are just as anatomically correct as our girl here, and photos of them are definitely SFW - photos of art. This pipe is crap as art, but that just makes this a photo of a bad...

    Medium format objects

    In my last post, I presented this old pipe, carved in what could charitably be called poor taste. I find this fascinating. The object itself is something I find poorly done, even creepy. The task I have set myself is to make a reasonably good photo of it. Making a good photo of something we...

    Medium format objects

    With apologies to Botticelli, a little birth of Venus action. Actually, beyond this being a rather tacky old pipe, I know nothing about who made it or when. I do know that an RAF bomber pilot picked it up as a souvenir trinket in Europe, towards the end of WWII. That same man later became a...

    Medium format objects

    I know. I need to shoot something other than knives. I don't usually shoot the underside, though, so I'll post this one. It's a French-style folding knife from South African maker (and dentist) Des Horn. IQ4, Rodie 138 at f11. Continuous lighting. Swung and stacked.

    Medium format objects

    @tenmangu81 raises a point about object photography. Do we seek out the unusual or do we shoot everyday objects? Paying clients need marketing materials so a pro is more likely to shoot common objects. In contrast, hobbyists might prefer to shoot the rare and unusual. Hard to generalise...

    Arca Swiss Pico Lens Compatibility

    With the GFX, I use Kase but they are probably no better or worse than others. The 77 mm filters fits directly, and can be used with adapter rings for other lenses. Usually, I put Lee filters on the tech camera. Tell, the truth, I don't know which is better (Kase or Lee) at preserving optical...

    Arca Swiss Pico Lens Compatibility

    Very interesting point. I use an older Lee system, and no longer have any SK lenses so I should be OK? Can you post a pic with one of the HR lenses. As an aside, I have started using circular magnetic GNDs with the GFX. You lose a bit of control over placing the gradation but they seem to...
