Been thinking lately of getting an old RB and a 140mm to use with my Aptus 22 — looks very compatible. No weird fringing?So.. normal people when they cant sleep - they drink milk, or whisky and falling back.. Me - fat chance. I figured i may as well try to play with idea for lighting shot that i had for a week now.
Leaf 54s + RZ67 IID + 140 Macro
Nothing that i would notice, but then i use RZ glass, so i am not sure how RB one will hold.Been thinking lately of getting an old RB and a 140mm to use with my Aptus 22 — looks very compatible. No weird fringing?
Unfortunately, I get to be the designer with most of my photographs!i never even bother to check closely - too lazy, plus i believe this is what publisher/designer should do anyway
Thats what Capture One is for But seriously though - i did some shots with contra-light, like bright gray sky and branches - cant really say i seen much of aberrations. Biggest problem is - whole MF design isnt great to handle light when it goes under weird angle towards camera axis - so you may (and will) get some side-shadows if you go for it. But it is common dSLR issue I seen it on Nikon, i seen it on Canon.. i seen it on Aptus with 645 body and with RZ body. So its nothing new. For everything else - its great, very sharp, very detailed combo. As long as you not forgetting to blow off dust ))Unfortunately, I get to be the designer with most of my photographs!
Amen!Thats what Capture One is for
I'm finding that is one of the biggest hurdles that I have to overcome. I'm used to going for a couple of weeks to a month before I need to clean my DSLRs. This every time I pull the back out routine is not there yet.As long as you not forgetting to blow off dust ))
Super shots. The Zd is capable of great work - in the right handsA few more with the ZD .....
All studio lighting, AB800s, strip softbox, I think both were with the 150mm ( could be wrong though )
As usual, C&C welcome ....

Do you mean that it is an SLR issue, due to the crappy retro-focus lenses they are forced to make when the focal length of the lens is not much more than the depth of the mirror-box?i did some shots with contra-light, like bright gray sky and branches - cant really say i seen much of aberrations.

The simple solution is to use a "proper" mirror-free professional camera (AKA technical or view camera) with "normal" rather than retro-focus lenses - try some Schneider Apo-Digitars (the non-retro-focus ones).
Hah.. i didnt have to do that in YEARS with Olympus gear. Even after shooting on dusty backroads of Colorado. This is one of things i greatly miss about E- system - dust cleaning that really works (unlike all the others, i am sorry - my D700 is nowhere to come close to that).]

Hi Bill, thanks, it was quite fun to shoot. The H4D-50 files are great to work with too. QuentinQuentin, you've made me thirsty!
That first one has great impact.

Not been a fan since William Hartnell (shows how old I am) but Tennant was more appealing than the new chap.Damn be BBC America and iTunes - can we have Dr Who episodes updated more often? Oh and can we have David Tennant back? I miss him.
140 again?On a bit more serious note, seeing that we going into portrait zone now..
