How best to configure a camera for Phase one P65+

I second derek and don. I use the screen for highlights and histogram. I've never been bothered by the phase one screens....I was also a long time film user in a past life. Eleanor
That's all I use the LCD for on my Phase back. It's useless for anything else. I personally would love to have a large, high res LCD with Live View. I think of it as a digital Polaroid that I could use to carefully check critical focus and evaluate composition in the field. I find it really hard to make a compelling photograph. I need all the help I can get. I was long time skier on "pencil" skis in a past life, but I wouldn't think of skiing on anything other than shaped skis today.

I can actually honestly say that the P65+ is more than adequate for everything that I shoot 80% of the time; the Canon picks up the rest.

But for a landscape shooter, I just don't think the quest for more and more ever stops....

So that just means I'll be there as an enabler for Don when that P90+ comes out.... :angel: :D

This seems to be where I"m at .. I just can't get enough.

A couple "reasons" (and I use that word pretty loosely, more a case of self justification). one, now that I'm using mostly primes, the ability to crop becomes more important. Most images will not utilize the full 59mp of my p65+.

Second, in the quest for quality I thought I was getting there until I visited Rodney Lough's gallery in city center Las Vegas and saw his images taken with 8x10 film ... I was completely amazed and will no longer claim my p65+ is even in the same game as these images. I'm no where close to that once I get to around 50", let alone larger sizes.

Not to mislead, it's not like I"m not pretty delighted with what I have now, but never can seem to get enough. I long for a camera that can provide me in a single capture an image will print a 72" pano that would be close to what 8x10 film can deliver.

That's not asking too much is it? :)
