    ALPA 120° viewfinder - Size of frame relative to mask

    Thought I'd share some plots I made for lens FOV, as viewed through the ALPA 120° viewfinder. In the attached image are frames for 54x40 aspect and 54x19.1 aspect, which is to say 617. This, for the Rodenstock HR 23, 32, 35, 40, 50, 70, 90, 138 and 180. Gives one an idea of frame size relative...

    ALPA Pano

    Hello, all, I've been investigating the Alpa Pano and hope someone could clarify a section of Alpa's datasheet: I've confirmed the values in the "Sensorposition Landscape" section but am not clear what is being conveyed in the "Aequivalents Horizontals" section. Please can you help clarify?

    Variation in character of look from lenses

    Folks, Jack's post here in a recent thread got me to thinking. I would be very interested to see the variation in character in the look of images shot with different lenses of identical focal length - whatever the focal length may be. As has been pointed out to me, threads exist that discuss...

    Influence of format size on a photograph

    Folks, I have read many times of the visual difference that a larger sensor returns when compared to a smaller sensor. Many photographers attribute "the Medium Format look" at least in part to the physical size of the sensor, be it film or digital. All else being equal, I do not understand why...

    Folks, Is it possible to create a profile that can be applied to photographs, which revises the colour of the latter by the difference between the lens used to capture the photograph and another lens, not simply according to the taste of the photographer? If so, how easy/difficult is it to...

    Focusing Technical Camera lenses

    Folks, Over time I have read about a range of aspects of technical cameras. Today I realised that I actually don't know how photographers of this type of camera set focus at a time when the likes of the Leica Disto was not available to purchase and captured photos could not be reviewed...

    LCC required for future 35mm bodies?

    Dear all, A thought occurred to me recently after reading the current "LCC" thread in the Medium Format forum: given the trend of ever increasing sensor resolution, will future 35mm DSLR bodies require an LCC, despite the use of retrofocus lenses?
