I'm wondering what people think or have experienced doing hand held shooting with a technical camera (I use Alpa) and MFDB (I have a Phase back). Is it practical in any way and does it make sense over a 35mm DSLR?
The way I figure the workflow would be is:
1. Set a high ISO
2. If people shot, guestimate the distance and use hyperfocal. Try to go as low as f8
3. Forget about LCC correction unless you want to use a standard LCC; perhaps one created at that location before you start to shoot or if you have time afterwards.
4. Loosing 2 stops with a center filter is tough!
5. Walking around with it around my neck would be a world of worry.
But I still think that the ability to use MF would be great. I know this is best done with a MF SLR type camera, but I don't have that choice.
Thanks for any and all input,
Bob
