    Stacking and moving in the modern age

    I think focus stacking and movements with the view camera don't have to be contradictory. For me, it's not black or white. On the contrary - you can also combine both wonderfully with each other. If I use a Scheimpflug, the focus range is larger, which means that I need significantly fewer...

    Medium format objects

    Small objects from everyday life I like to look at in detail. I look for shapes, colors, materials and interesting angles in connection with light. Very often I then see details in a completely different context. In factual photography, objects must be described photographically factual well...

    P1 lens adaptability

    I would have ordered the adapter weeks ago - but I can not enter Germany as a destination in the order. Therefore, I have to wait until the "early bird" phase is over and it is regularly available. The information about the adapter is a bit fuzzy regarding PhaseOne/SK BR compatibility. For the...

    Medium format objects

    Two more pictures from the series Water in Backlight. The slightly changing colours and the structure were the main focus for me here. Greetings Gerd

    Medium format objects

    Water against the light A few years ago I started to work with water in backlight and created a small series. In general, I would always photograph liquids in backlight unless they contain turbidity. Water behaves a bit like jewellery or reflecting metallic objects where you basically...

    Medium format objects

    Linguine with tomatoes Primarily it is about patterns, secondarily about details or vice versa - depending on the viewing distance. Continuous lines cut up an image. If you place enough lines next to each other, areas are created. Areas divide up an image. Lines and areas create patterns, both...

    08.x speed boosting adaptor - views or experiences?

    I found the test files when I took the first test images with the Kipon focal reducer. Here is an example: Pentax 67 105mm F2.4 Full view | left without FR | right with FR 100% view | left without FR | right with FR I hope you can still see it sufficiently well here on the web...

    08.x speed boosting adaptor - views or experiences?

    The quality loss is small and can only be seen well at 100% view. As I wrote above - it's about the microcontrast that has become somewhat worse. A perhaps suitable comparison would be a camera with and without low pass filter. Greetings Gerd

    08.x speed boosting adaptor - views or experiences?

    I have the adapter - both for P645 and M645. The P645 version is inaccurately made. None of my P645 lenses can be turned so far in the bayonet that it clicks into place. I suppose there is only a millimeter missing in the bayonet ring. Of course, you can still take pictures with it. But it is...

    Anyone tried this bellows nd GFX adapter for large format cameras?

    I still used this about 8 years ago, with a D810. It works perfectly. You have to manually align the camera once straight as accurately as possible, and then set yourself a new ZERO point mark on the image standard. Disadvantages: 1.) Switching between film and digital always involves...

    Capture One iPad Preview

    For me it is only interesting if it supports tethering on IQ4. It could be a better alternative than Cascable. For pure image editing, I would never use it. Greetings Gerd

    Fun with MF Achromatic Digital Backs

    have you upgraded to IQ3 now? Greetings Gerd

    Phase One Achromatic digital backs - links on the web

    I print IQ4 Achromatic data using an Epson 9500 Spectro with a width of 44" and a length of ( more or less ) any length. The printouts are excellent. Your statement "that you like to see prints and images on the screen are not enough" is understandable, but not quite to the point. When...

    Is anyone else using the Fotodiox lens adaptor that provides aperture stops?

    Hello Ed, I also used these adapters during the transition period from P645 to M645. If you want to make it easy, you can just use the light meter of your camera. E.g. - if it jumps by one aperture you can calculate it very fast, starting from the open aperture. Greetings Gerd

    Electronic shutter in combination with image stabilisation

    However, he used the ES. And the anomaly clearly looks like a rolling shutter. The subject didn't move, of course, but the camera in the hand did. However, the IBIS was turned on and configured correctly. I am not sure how the rolling shutter effect came about here. Maybe the IBIS is no...

    Phase One IQ4 Remote Launches via Cascable

    I used an IPAD Pro M1, 12.9", Gen. 5, 1TB, 16 GB RAM for testing. I found the LiveView to be soft as well. What also bothers me a bit is that you can't zoom in on the transferred image above 100% (I'm not quite sure if it's really 100%). You can push it larger via this point, but when you...

    Phase One IQ4 Remote Launches via Cascable

    Hello Greg, hello Viktor, it is possible - but it is not intended that way. Scenario: Connect IQ4 150 with an Ethernet cable directly to the IPAD via a USB to Ethernet adapter. IQ4 and the IPAD behave RFC 3927 compliant. This means if no fixed Ethernet address is assigned (IQ4 cannot do this)...

    Phase One IQ4 Remote Launches via Cascable

    I don't know of a corresponding service here, but I'll take a look around. You are using IQ4 over 2.4 GHz in access point mode? In which country are you located, I would like to check if you are using the same channels. I do that. Mostly via Ethernet, because the solution is more flexible...

    Phase One IQ4 Remote Launches via Cascable

    I would appreciate if someone could give me information on how Cascable behaves in LiveView with IQ4 via WLAN. The reason I ask is, I can't test it currently because my IOS devices only go up to 12.x (they are older devices). The current IQ4 WLAN "Access Point Mode" connection is limited to 2.4...

    Reasons for MF in 2021

    For me personally, an objective reason is the 4: 3 format. The 3: 2 format can only be used well for me in a few cases. Otherwise, I use the equipment that, in my opinion, is most suitable for solving my task and that fits my workflow. But you could just as well ask the question - "why is...
