Re: Fun with MF images, part 2: What are you shooting with that MF back?
I had seen Tom's post (#741) the day he posed his questions however work has interfered with posting my reply - sorry.
The main camera I use is medium format. Sandy and I went to Alaska earlier this year and took the MFDB, 2 35mm Canons as well as a P&S. The only time I picked up the 35mm (1Ds II) was when I wanted to shoot wildlife - bears and moose. I did do an experiment using the medium format and shot a couple of wildlife at the National Bison Refuge in MT with mixed results. My main camera I had with me was my Mamiya AFD II and P30+; I used that to shoot all my landscape, took it with me on an aerial of Denali as well as picking up "local color" of Homer AK.
I think I read and agree with the notion that I have enough "snapshots" and am concentrating on the really good images.
I've come to understand and that why I simply love the image quality that I can get from medium format it isn't suited for all images. I attempted to capture images of eagles at Anchor Point with disastrous results making be rely on the faster focusing and longer lens of the 1DsII.
2 Sisters Bakery: Took this for a good friend - 28mm hand held using available light.
My attempt at medium format wildlife - 300mm lens
Walking around right at sunset in a very small campground somewhere in ID - handheld 28mm.
Anchor Point eagle 1Ds III with a 300mm lens doubled - simply no way that medium format can compete with this.
So I guess my "go to" camera is medium format.
