@ guy, about the forum
i have joined here, cause this is the biggest data-base and discussion especially for medium format on the internet that i have found. so, after reading some stuff here (like yours and jacks about leica s2 and phase stuff, or marc's about h4d impressions) i thought it is the best place to ask questions about what interests me.
@ yair
yes i know the leaf software, it works great, files are super, and i actually liked the interface/workflow. leaf is israeli, and has that service advantage, from maker and from dealer... so it seems to be the most comfortable place....
i do have a question to u about afi camera, pm will be sent...
@ jack
yes i know, any of those 40mp backs will be just great, but since there are choices and nuances and high costs, a little bit good sportive mood will do no harm when doing prior studies
i am also aware about the effective focal lenghts when using hts1.5, saw it on hasselbald site/brochure. 28mm and 80mm on the chip size of 40mp is ok. just a question wether the quality is good enough (even if i dont expect it to be like alpa+35mm). it is also should be noticed that 28mm and hts 1.5 is not far from the price of alpa+lens, so the price is not a main issue.
@ doug ptomsu and marc
so the alpa or hts issue is just about:
is the hts image quality satisfying (comparable to alpa with scheider/rodenstok lens), especially with wide angle lens, and is it that much more comfortable to use compared to alpa (swa probably) ?
i like the idea of hts, and the idea of weist level finder (although it cannot go vertical), but im not sure when i have the opportunity to check it in real. seems i can only test the h4d body with 80 mm lens, which is great too, cause at least i can get familiar with hasselblad camera....
a question about Kodak vs Delsa sensor that mentioned in the posts...
what is it about, one has micro lenses, the other does not? what else ?
i want it to go well with high ISO, i want it to print well at big sizes. it is not a studio only camera, it will be my primary camera - general purpose, do everything stuff - from spontaneous photography to stages/composed stuff, from portraits to architecture etc, from art projects to commercial fashion and other stuff... the only thing i do not expect those 40mp cameras to be is: not super fast nikon/canon (dont care about it), not a pocket camera (that can always be at hand) and not a sexy camera to load real b/w film in it...
