World's only images from a IQ 180 Phase Back of Death Valleys famous racetrack area. This is a focus stack of 5 frames from the new 35mmD lens.

Guy, how does the new 35 stack up (no pun intended) - edge/corner sharpness and C.A. was always an issue with the older 35, even on the crop sensor of the P30. Very curious to know if the new version is truly a new lens, or just repackaged!

Thank you eery much that you finally commented on my post.

So in this case of shooting indoor with mixed lights, what is the best way to have better WB...?
Tareq... I am glad you appreciated my post... and I too prefer you later version.

There are experts here...but, generally the solution is to only use flash and sunlight, and change any tungsten bulbs for daylight balanced bulbs.

I attach a picture (for estate agent) taken with tungsten and sunlight (not MF). There was a window behind me, and I put a projector screen on the floor to light the ceiling. I drew the curtains you can see to avoid a hotspot by the television... in one version of the picture I used a reflector outside to reflect light into that window.

I have made no attempt to correct the tungsten, as there seems to be enough daylight to prevent a cast.

I took this picture when I had no digital camera that could satisfactorily be used with off-camera flash, but I would now use my 4 Metzs as fill, adding exposures if I needed more fill for a big room.

Thanks!

I thought that if i shoot without flash i will have better natural light result, but maybe i think i should try with flash and see, i have a powerful flash reflector that can light the entire place or room but i didn't like to make it dominant of the ambient light, but i have to give it a try and see.

This is an awesome shot, making me wanting to be there shooting as well!!!
I really don't get impressed by IQ at that web size, i have to see at original size, don't forget that i have 60mp which is less about 20mp than IQ180, whether you used tech camera or not, at low sizes even 22mp MF will be great.

This is a nice shot, and i feel jealous that people using tech cameras more for outdoors and indoors with Mf.

I wish if you took more of above or sky, i feel the shot is cropped and if you took wider or say a pan this will be a stunning no doubt.

Ever since the announcement of the IQ series I have been assuring myself that I don't need anything more than a P65+. I don't. I don't. I don't.

So on the last day of the 65% discount offer, the end of March, I told myself I don't need more than a P65+.

Then I put down my deposit.

I have no self-control. I don't. I don't. I don't.

Bill

ps And I can't wait for the new back!

WOW Guy!

Who needs all those fancy IQ features when you can produce a shot like that with a plain old P40+.... very nice capture. :thumbs:

Would have been nice to see a focus stacked version of that one also.

Very nice image Guy. Looks like the new 35 is indeed a very high performing lens. Love to see more/hear more about it when you get into your images at home.
