Fun with MF images 2025

Last week I received some Copal-0 shims from Misumi and was at last able to check that I had the inter-cell spacing on my S-K Digitar 47mm optimally set up for use on my GFX/F-Universalis. Here's a test shot from the hill-tops at the south end of Lyttleton Harbour looking back towards the port - 2x images flat stitched with +/- 10mm of shift. I'm very happy with the performance of this little gem...

What shutter speed were you able to hand hold and get sharp images, while blurring the water? Did the camera have IBIS? Reason I ask, I would love to do this with some of my seascapes with breaking waves. Very lovely image. Thank you.
This image was with 0.7 sec. handhold. Yes, the x2d has IBIS. I don't know yet how far you can go, but for me IBIS is a big advantage, specially for medium format. Thank you for your comment!

The restored facade of the Port Company building in Lyttelton, Christchurch. I took this as a test of the shift ability of my newly tuned S-K digitar 47mm, this being taken with +/- 20mm of shift. Taken with a Fuji GFX 100S/F-Universalis - fall off corrected with LR flat-frame-correction before stitching, with final processing in PS.

First time I'd been out with the Hasselblad (or any non-phone camera) since the end of November.

Both from a couple of days ago walking back to Seathwaite in the Lake District. Hasselblad 907x 50CFV II and 45P.





Really like the first one!

Note - this msg got moved from the "fat pixel MF backs" thread :)

While not "fat pixels" (this is an 80MP CCD back), just wanted to contribute an image showing some of the Old Zeiss Magic on MF digital:



Rollei Hy6, Zeiss Sonnar 150mm f/4, Leaf Aptus-ii 12R back. This is a straight conversion in RawTherapee with no post-processing - the combination of colours, flare, and contrast from the old Zeiss lenses are just gorgeous and cinematic. I don't think the results would be much different when using a lower-resolution back with fat pixels - since, as many have remarked, most CDD backs after the Phase One P25+ era have similar qualities.
