    Do you long to transition from MFD to LF?

    I did some 4x5 and 8x10 larger-format photography. The results can be very satisfying. However, it was just too slow and bulky for the way I work. For me MF gave what I needed in terms of quality plus the flexibility to do different kinds of photography. The other thing I liked about MF was the...

    The world's largest digital camera

    Obviously, for checking feline life on other planets. We want to know where the Egyptian cat goddesses originated from.

    The world's largest digital camera

    But only using CCDs. The Biggest Digital Camera Ever Made: 6,600 Pounds and 3,200 Megapixels I would not consider anything without a global (universal?) shutter and a panorama mode. I wonder if an AS Cube can handle it?

    Olympics 2024--what's your game?

    I agree, there are so many sports that are really pretty amazing that don't get the spotlight. I think the trick is finding where to watch them.

    What F-Stop range do you use

    I don't have any f/1.4 or f/2.0 medium format lenses, so I tend not to use those apertures. For landscape, I am in the f/11-f/16 range. For other things off a tripod, then aperture becomes part of the exposure equation. I then can be biasing toward a specific shutter speed. But then, I am happy...

    Olympics 2024--what's your game?

    As a competitive archer, I am looking forward to the Olympics. This years is going to have some exciting competition. It is also the year the Korean women are looking for their tenth consecutive win. If you have never seen Olympic archery, this is the elimination format, the seeding is...

    IQ5 rumors

    "But, my honest opinion is that this back, coupled with the Contax’s Zeiss lenses, produces images as detailed as those that I’ve ever seen from any photographic system that I’ve used in some 40 years as a photographer – and I include 4X5" film, either darkroom printed or drum scanned." Phase...

    Photographing in visually complex places.

    You have just articulated the problem of photography: how do you render the world in an interesting way. If you look at the variety of successful images in history, there is obviously not any particular way to do that. Studying photographs that you like can help, though. Photography is...

    Diffraction and Sensor Size

    Seriously. You spend all that money for an f/0.95 lens and then you don't use that stacking software to not only get the sharpness throughout the image, but also the creamy bokeh...

    Diffraction and Sensor Size

    Exactly. This is a relative problem. The interesting thing I see on this discussion is that people stress about sharpness, but they are afraid to optimize depth of field, which ultimately makes more of the image unsharp. For a 33x44 sensor, I have no problem using f/22 if I need the depth of...

    Fun with MF images 2024

    There was an Instagram post about a set of photographs in a Super Bowl ad that were accused of being AI (they were not). The commentator remarked on how similar AI images looked to some of the most expensive photographs from artists like Gregory Crewdson known for elaborate staged landscapes. It...
