Today, Marc posted some mighty fine images in his "CFV...Sheep's Clothing" thread (if you haven't had a chance to look at them, do yourself a favor)
Aside from all of the "photograher's variables" including focus, composition, angle, framing, exposure, lighting, etc., that are so excellent in these photographs, I think that these particular images illustrate the signature or drawing of a particular lens. In my view, these photos have a luxurious film-like texture to them, a smooth-sharp look. BUT along with the lens, I would think there's also a role played by the particular back. Is it the back, is it the pixel size, is it the combination of back and lens? What gives these photographs this kind of exceptional "mojo?"
And, of course, which are your favorite lenses for that exceptional look; which back do you like to use best with your favorite special lenses? Which backs do you feel help you derive the most of what your particular lens is designed to give you best?
