Well another 4 day job and another 2800 images and I am just really falling in love with this MF stuff. Okay the downside i am getting a workout , literarily holding the camera for several hours at a time and at the end of this I actually was getting a blister on my holding thumb on the grip. Also getting cramps in my back , more like spasms but the results are just killer. All I got after showing images on screen to hundreds of folks was WOW. The images from MF are just so much different , there is such depth to the images. And the sharpness from my three main lenses the 55, 80 and new 150mm are just amazingly crisp. The new Mamiya 150mm is just flat out something else. You saw test images but real world there just stunningly crisp with tons of great bokeh. I know many of folks complain about the LCD but coming from the DMR and M8 the LCD to me is a treat. I know we all want a Nikon LCD 3 inch display but I really am not feeling a want here. Mine is accurate and it tells me pretty much what the file looks like except the high ISO shots look very grainy on LCD they are not in real life. Trying to figure out why they look grainy though on the LCD .Once you realize it not a problem but it is somewhat a concern when shooting.
The new Phase Body i really am liking very much , very responsive and I also switched out the Alkaline batteries for rechargeable and it seems to be a touch faster like I thought it may do. I have 43 gb's of data to work on and may post some images but so far I am hooked pretty damn hard on this MF stuff. I just love the files and the look from it.
BTW this system and the images from it helped land more work. I know it is me behind them but the gear is making me look even better. Can't beat that with a stick.
