But no one is suggesting you leave either so not sure I understand all of this but there is absolutely no reason for you to leave us. We all respect everyone and there opinions here and we all love a lively debate and it is good for the soul. So from my seat and as one of the proud owners here I see no reason to leave us. But obviously this is your decision but this thread is really not about some ones shooting talent. Which honestly was not the topic to begin with was my images. There shit trust me I do this for corporate clients everyday and it puts food on the table. Please believe me i can shoot my way out of any paper bag and my work can be absolutely stunning when that need arises. This is not about that but about what a look is coming out of these MF backs that i am finding intriguing on a regular basis that maybe a combination of big pixels, no AA filter and the tonal ranges that MF provides all the time and only comes to life on certain occasions in 35mm. I came from Nikon, Canon, Leica, Kodak and almost anything else out there. I am just seeing this look more on a regular basis in MF than i have seen before.Folks, I'd just like to make it perfectly clear that no one here has suggested that I'm out of place.
Jack, rest assured that my decision to leave has nothing to do with our differing POV on this thread. Marc, I fully accept that being reminded that great images are made by people and not cameras is likely to be irritating to gear heads wanting to talk equipment.
Once again I wish all here the very best and good shooting.
Keith
Instead of leaving, why not start a thread that deals with what you want to talk about Keith. The assumption that everyone here is nothing more than a gear head may be incorrect ...Folks, I'd just like to make it perfectly clear that no one here has suggested that I'm out of place.

Well, I'll just throw one out there that I took today. To me this certainly has the 3D effect. I think it's the combination of the lighting, lens, DOF and the particular subject against its background that creates the illusion of depth here. For me I get more of a 3D feel with this shot than I do in looking at the particular examples Guy showed but of course it's pretty subjective and I'm sure opinions will differ.then please enlighten me with specific examples... As respects digital, I've never seen it in thousands of frames out of my Canons except for some of the early ones like the 1D, but see it frequently from my Leicas and most MF backs.
Well, in many ways he's right ... more focus on the actual art of the images is a good idea. That's why in Peter's thread on Lens design in this issue of Victor, I was more taken with the images in the publication than the article. Powerful stuff.Marc, I remember making that very same request (not a suggestion from my part) to Keith Laban, sometime ago, elsewhere.
