    Phase One P21+ Is it really as good as I think ?

    Over the years I have used way too many cameras always searching for some magic in sharpness,ISO-I'm sure you all know the drill. Just this morning I dug out my old Phase One P21+. Not the best for iso,pixels,or other parameters compared to newer cameras. However, the color has a richness that I...

    Contax 645 lens to Hasselblad or Nikon adapter

    i have a nice collection of Contax 645 lenses I would like to use with my Hasselblad 645. Can anyone tell me where to get the best adapter ? Maybe even to my Nikon 800 ? Is there anyway to get the autofocus to work on either camera ?

    D800E/D800 Live much better than viewfinder.

    I am shooting the D800 and the D800E. Mounted on a Gitzo tripod. Using Nikon Camera Control 2. Multiple lenses including DC100,50 1.4,etc. Good natural lighting. Varying amount of light. 51 point or 11 point focus. The Live view focus is dead nuts on, viewfinder is out of focus. Strangely the...

    Contax 645 lenses-Need adapter

    I have several Contax 645 lenses that I have been using on my Kodak medium format camera. I love these lenses but the camera finally quit working. Does anyone know of a way to adapt these lenses to any other camera such as Hasselblad,Mamiya, Sony,Nikon etc. It would sure be a waste to retire...

    Dirt on X1 sensor ?

    I thought this could not happen,but here is a crop from my new X1. This black spot appears on all photos taken with the camera unless it falls on a dark area. Now instead of removing the lens and cleaning the sensor,like I have done many times with my dslr's, I am stuck without the camera while...

    What causes the pink line on the right of this picture ?

    Taken with the 75mm Lux on an M9. Could the glare from the sun cause a vertical line ? My M9 does the same with the 90mm Elmarit. It does not seem to happen with other lenses.

    Aptus II 5 vs Others ?

    Does the Leaf Aptus offer any advantage over the Hassy or Phase backs ? Is it better at anything in about the same sensor size. Pros and Cons ? Why did Phase partner with Leaf ?

    Backfocus Noctilux 1.0 and 50mm ASPH

    It sure seems that this must have been covered here but I must be searching for the wrong terms. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd sure appreciate it. I have both a 50mm Noctilux and a 50 mm asph Leica brand lens. The Nocti is newer and coded and the asph is uncoded,not that...

    New Summarit M Lenses so good it's scary.

    For some reason,since I already have a 50 mm Summilux and Noctilux,I decided to buy a Summarit 50 mm. Reasoning that the small size was worth trying the lens. I was amazed at the ease of focus and color qualities etc. The lens really seemed to like being on the M8. Well, I just added the 35 mm...

    Zeiss 50/4 fle lens...how do I use it ?

    So I just bought this used Hasselblad Zeiss 50mm f4 lens with a floating lens element. I am OK with how to focus the lens using the front and rear rings. The instructions explain this clearly,but what are the two center rings for ? The instructions completely ignore these two center rings. I...

    IPhone Photos

    How about some pics from IPhones or otherwise. I'll start with an Iphone shot from the doctor's office. The Iphone is my idea of the ultimate for discrete shooting cuz nobody knows what you are doing,you could be playing a game.

    I need a back for my Contax 645

    I know it does not make any sense but I love my Contax 645. I really like adjusting the aperture by just turning the ring and other idiosyncrasies of the camera. It's sorta like the people that still like the rangefinder M8. I have a Mamiya with a Phase back but it's not the same tactile...

    Sony image data suite ?

    I just got my A900 today and started shooting some raw files. At first I ignored the Sony software for my Mac. Manufacturer software is usually cumbersome and slow and/or buggy. Just for grins however I tried the "Image Data Suite" from Sony. Wow. Images looked better than I was getting in...

    Got a Leaf raw file ?

    Is there anywhere to get a raw file for a Leaf ? Hopefully an Aptus II-6 file. I am thinking about this back but want to try the software which I downloaded to my Mac.

    Contax (Zeiss) on Hasselblad ?

    Is it possible to adapt a Contax 645 lens to a Hasselblad V or H series ? What will and won't work ? In other words what to do with my collection of lenses for my 645 Contax ? I rather like the camera but I fear it's at the end of it's life so should I put a digital back on it ? It seems that...

    Developing Ricoh RAW files

    After reading so many glowing comments from all of you (and otherwise),I bit the bullet and bought a GRD 2. Not a bad little camera but here's the rub: I am on a Mac so I need to use Lightroom etc to develop my pics. I have tried Capture One, Lightroom, and a couple of others but the shots all...

    Hasselblad H3D2 hot pixel

    What should I do about a hot pixel on a new H3D2 ? Is it cause to return the camera or should I just be happy that the software removes it? It really is annoying to see that it's there. I am aware that some cameras map hot pixels out by themselves, seems like the H3D2 could too.

    How to develop H3d raw...FlexColor

    Okay I just upgraded from a Kodak 645 back to a Hasselblad H3D. I am using Mac Leopard os. What are the options to working on the raw files. I thought it might be FlexColor but it seems to be a tethered only program. Am I just overlooking something ? Phocus is a little clunky and slow. Photoshop...
