Evening!

Today I photographed the big man before his busy time!

loaded tool turret on the Okuma CNC lathe:

That tool turret looks like something out of a horror movie or something for a Bond villain!!

When the lathe is running a program, that turret rotates to put the correct tool in position (and it rotates FAST), and then the entire turret and slide whizzes up to the work about as fast as you could move your hand from side to side. The turret and slide must weigh 1200 lbs and it will hold 0.0005" tolerance
Amazing machine

 

[MGrayson]

Yup.

S2 with 120mm APO lens

 

[justalexander]

Can someone please tell me how to post full size images on this size? Every image I post gets downsized by the system effectively turning razor sharp images into smartphone quality images.

Thanks in advance

 

[justalexander]

Okay... just discovered images are limited to 2400px which I uploaded but images still appear to be compressed with no control over the compression quality.

So I've had the camera just over 12 hours and havnt tried anything serious, just having fun testing the quality of the files including dynamic range sharpness etc... 30-90mm at 30mm F8 11 seconds. The starbursts are beautiful and the quality is just jaw dropping. These uploads don't do it justice!!!

I've straightened and cropped in photoshop.

 

[docmoore]

Try 1200 px on the long side landscape and 800 portrait with your own
downsizing and the compression may be less apparent.

An older S2-P Leica but to show how 1200 works...

Color or B&W :chug:

 

[Paratom]

For me color, its more subtile.
BW is a little stronger, but I prefer the emotion of the color image.

 

[joakim]

Color for me too. I've only had my S-006 for a short while so it still all about color

 

[joakim]

The view. S-006 and 70 Summarit

 

[docmoore]

I agree that with this cropping the color is a bit better ... however the foreground lightness - reflection of the clouds
does not benefit the B&W which is superb.

Perhaps a crop like this is what I imagined for B&W ...
