seems very good, but i am just getting started with it. it is heavier and bulkier, has sharper edges, lenses seem extremely nice. had to buy a -1 diopter from Franke and Heideke in Germany, as i couldn't find one in the US. i faxed them, e-mailed my ccard info and had the thing in 2 days. the finder is quite bright and with the diopter is easy to focus. too damn cold today to wring it out, but i am satisfied. can't wait to try the 110 and 180, and of course, wish there was something wider than 40mm. those ships are huge and you can only get back so far. i've been waiting for a month to get at that Chemical Pioneer, but have been too busy. it has a really odd pair of bow anchor "knockers"
so far, the phase back is almost the same as the CFV
I'm afraid that this is the downside of the P20 - there is a 1.55 crop factor on these lenses. Perhaps some day you can upgrade to a back with a larger sensor?wish there was something wider than 40mm. those ships are huge and you can only get back so far.
Ah, I see. No, there isn't a larger square sensor (yet).Graham:
i'm a fan of the sq format...it is tough to see the full 6x6 in the finder and know you are losing the outer margin. i wasn't aware there was a larger image sq sensor
way too soon for me to say anything about the backs. i still have to diddle around with the raw conversions; that green is too warm. i thought i had the back set to daylight, but i think the kelvin varied among the shots when seen in C1. i was too cold to be carefully examining the P20 screen.
what i liked about the CFV was the rich color and dynamic range and so far the P20 seems every bit as good. i certainly no expert however.
