The colours of the CCD look great I must say. There's sth to them. Shame with SK glass
i simply do not like images taken with BSI technology sensors, is it because of BSI? i dont know for sure.
But i got the A7RII, didnt like the files....i had the P45+, loved the files, i had the IQ180, loved the files. got an GFX50s, files were ok but not great and then GFX100 with BSI, the GFX100 files were ok until the moment i acquired an P65+ for my contax again, then the GFX system was collecting dust again and was sold.
there is some clinical cleanliness(is that a word?) about BSI sensor files.
MP wise, 80 is also more than enough
Exept for two more lenses i would like to add to my alpa setup, i think i am done and wont need to upgrade ever again. the lenses i still want are the 90mm and 180.

We all have our own ideas of what we appreciate in a photograph. I am not fixed in any rigid type, so to speak.
Readily agree that different sensors produce different looks; so when I find a scene that I would like to capture, I often vary the camera I use for that particular image.
i just purchased the latest Fujifilm camera and notice a considerable difference between the resulting image versus my Phase One camera……but the Fujifilm features a 500mm lens with a 1.4 extender that enables automatic focus.
The Fujifilm surfing images are, in my option, superior to the images that I was experiencing from my Sony A1. For me,
its all about horses and courses .

Over this weekend I compared the files of the phase one IQ 150 to the Fujifilm’s G 100 II.
IMHO the Phase One while heavy and bulky renders far superior images. The files are obviously larger and provide more detail and I think more realistic color. along with superior contrast. The Fujifilm has a 500mm lens with a 1.4 extender with adequate focusing speed for action sports with a medium format appearance that my Sony doesn’t offer.
I thought that I might be able to replace using the phase one with the Fujuifilm for much of what I like to capture, but that won’t be possible for me; so I’ll continue to wrestle with the weight and bulk as long as I can

Once named "Stalinallee" and now "Karl-Marx-Allee", this boulevard in Berlin was built by the GDR (Eastern Socialist Germany) between 1952 and 1960.
I love the soviet architecture of the buildings in this street, which is part of the important history of this city.

Over the last couple of days I've been extending the testing of my newly arrived SK Componon-S 150mm from landscape to closeup. A head-to-head comparison with my previous closeup favourite - my Mamiya RZ Macro 140mm - indicated that the RZ 140 now has serious competition. And competition from a lens that weights just 1/3 that of the RZ 140 - quite significant if carrying kit on a 500m vertical climb in the mountains. Here's a test shot in the front garden of South African bulb, Lachenalia elegans. This was a stack of 12 images combined in Zerene Stacker with final finishing in PS.

What fantastic composition. That horizontal entry line, then the 4 parallel lines (including the bench), and then the mysterious guy in red pulling us toward the building and going from sunlight into shadows.
