    Phase One IQ5 – Sony 247 MPX – 3:2 – will you get it?

    I like to stay on the leeward side of new tech progression. So, I’ll be looking for deals on the previous generation (IQ4) stuff from those who want to step off the upgrade treadmill.

    New Limited Edition from Hasselblad for 'Adventurous Photographers'!

    I’m in favor of always pointing out cringey marketing language, whoever it comes from.

    NIKKOR PC-E Micro 85 mm 1:2,8D, Tilt-Shift

    Here's a distant test shot at f/8 - 3 Z7 portrait frames shifted 11.5mm apart with the lens shift mechanism, so 36x47mm virtual sensor size, ~90MP. There's a hint of aliasing in the fine twigs at the upper corners. 100% details of upper right corner: 1. All corrections on - sharpening...

    NIKKOR PC-E Micro 85 mm 1:2,8D, Tilt-Shift

    Based on my copy of the 85 PC-E: Good in a modern classic sense. What’s in focus is sharp across a 36x47mm 3 Z7 frame stitch. There’s some minimal lateral CA ~1px in the shifted corners. I haven’t noticed any significant distortion and I’m usually pretty picky about that. Where it shows its...

    Lens suggestions for small view camera for digital

    Yes, duplication lens - “D” in its same. That means it’s optimized for flat subjects at 1:1. Quality drops off quickly as you get away from 1:1 (sharpness, CA, distortion).

    (Found) WTB: Kipon Contax 645 to GFX shift adapter

    Found one - no longer looking.

    mutiexposure via B mode with large format lenses including shutter on a digital leica M?!?!

    Do you have a mounting method in mind? If you don't want to re-cock the shutter between exposures, you'll need a press-type shutter (self-cocking). Actual LF lenses in the 50mm range will be wide angle design. Something salvaged from an old medium format or 35mm folder might be more...

    Cube care and Lubrication

    Great thread - can't believe I missed it the first time around! I 'temporarily' used some cellophane tape on one side of the clamp ways to level mine. I was intending to replace it with something more permanent/durable, but never got around to it. I've done the same thing with L-brackets to...

    If only you had 247 MP... What could you have done?

    I've delivered files in the 2-300MP range - stitched from 24-150MP frames. With proper planning there really wasn't much difference in effort between starting with low vs high-res frames. Most of the labor was post-production on the giant stitched files.

    Mark II Artist's Viewfinder APP

    If you set up your custom cameras using the Alpa 12XY base, you can use the app’s shift preview feature. It’s a bit awkward to use, but it’s there. If you have a phone with multiple lenses, you don’t need a clip-on lens to preview the wider angle lenses. The super-wide lens on an iPhone is...

    Mark II Artist's Viewfinder APP

    Very much worth it. I use it all the time for scouting. I’ve also set it up to visualize stitched FoV.

    The great tripod & head thread!

    Well, it's expensive running Leofoto's R&D department for them.

    [WTD] 6x12 Film Camera with a 150mm lens

    Good luck with your search. A small folding 4x5 w/ 6x12 back may pack to a similar size as a 6x12 body with 150mm lens cone. Especially a model that allows the lens to stay mounted while folded.

    Arca Swiss D4 head variants?

    besides the normal benefit of working with both Arca rail sizes, I like the classic two-step clamp for this: The extra depth allows easy portrait-orientation tethering - no fussing with sliding out the L-bracket!

    Newly purchased GFX100S has red tint

    The only thing I can add here is to remind about metameric failure. Some (many?) paints / materials will look different under different light sources. Things like UV coated / uncoated flash tubes, low quality LEDs, etc will throw wrenches in color matching efforts. Good luck!

    Medium Format and Coffee

    My hard working La Pavoni Europiccola. She's in need of a thorough cleaning and seal change, so I figured I'd take a 'before' shot.

    Restore old faded photos--remember Digital ROC?

    A hack/trick if you use the Negative Lab Pro plugin in Lightroom: manually invert the image in PS or other, then convert the ‘negative’ with NLP.

    IQ5 rumors

    Didn’t MR say something similar about an early Canon DSLR as well? 10D?
