For me, this is all about the process, as I have written before.
That means that I am to a degree "vision driven" in my photographic activity.
I have speent a pathological amount of time and money to strive for some kind of technological perfection.
The irritating result of this quest has for me been that it all has been (almost) for nothing.
What I really strive for is things like this:
This was taken with my old RZ Proll, P45+ and a lens that I do not remember now.
Those component was a part of my process in constructing this image.
The "Look" of the CCD P45 back, the rendering of the lens, and the way the RZ forced me to work.
I care very little for the technical specifications of my equipment, it is all about what they deliver
One of my all time favourite lenses was the old Mamiya Z250 lens for the RZ system.
Sublim rendering, especially for portraits.
Then the shutter broke down and I bought the newer APO 250. What a disappointment.
That lens had the personality of a brick wall..
So after seeing the photos earlier in this tread I am not worried about the combination of the 903 and my CFV50C.
I am rather confident that for MY work, it will work really good.
It seams that all reviewers agree that the 903 is one of the best MF wide angle cameras for analog film.
That is not a bad verdict to me. As I also plan to use the 903 as an film camera to.
And in the end, the best tool is the one you you forget that you are using, and only being concentrated on the process.
So far has my 500 CM + lenses combined with the CFV50C been surprisingly transparent to use.
I just point the camera and suddenly there is a photo available.
And any deficiencies in the photo is because of me, and not my equipment.
That is very liberating because I can the fully concentrate on the main obstacle: My self!
So I am rather confident that I will put the 903 to good use.
