Ray:Lance is right.
I'm really struggling with the focal plane shutter concept, as I want a fast sync speed so that I can use strobes for bright daylight fill.
Relative to tilt/shift, I've pretty much decided to just look for a technical camera and get the whole ball of wax including swing. For some of the firearms photography that I do, it has been impossible to get everything in focus regardless of stopping the apertures as far as possible. Using a tech camera yesterday, one of the shots which I just could not otherwise get everything in focus was possible to do using the tilt & swing options of the tech camera. It was also very nice to be able to fix perspective by moving the back end.
I have decided that I want the 39MP back and leaf shutter capability. The issue is going to come down to one of finance along with ease of total use and workflow. The Phase/Mamiya was nice to use and will have leaf shutter lenses at a later date. I'm going to be using a Hassy now, so that I can really make a good comparison on what works best for me.
I'm not willing to go through any real mix and match systems, as I just want a system that works without the headaches of new technology to market (AKA: the M8 launch), or having to deal with multiple companies and tech supports to resolve issues.
I'll let you guys know more, once the Hassy is in hand.
Best,
Ray
Make sure you have someone who can competently help you along with the Hasselblad hardare/software so you can see the full potential of the solution. If you don't have someone, feel free to contact me directly.
