Jono,
Did you have the opportunity to try printing out a few to see how the 12MP held up to print?
Jim
And that was three days ago . . . :sleep006:I'm going to try some 25" prints this afternoon (but I don't doubt they'll be lovely)
Hi Ray
here are two - both with the Macro Adapter M and the 75 APO Summicronl.
I'll try and do some more relevant shots later on.
Sorry!And that was three days ago . . . :sleep006:
He's sooo slow
All the best.
Really like the one with the dog. What lens did you use?Ähem...
Jono your findings make total sense and for landscape work I would try to stick to my M and A7 but I have had A0 landscape prints made from the days when I had the D700 that I am happy with at normal viewing distances. After all with the majority landscape painters when viewed very close up you will see brush marks etc but go back to normal viewing distances and the composition, colour and tones take over. The main thing with 12mp is the fact that cropping really begins to effect the IQ but this has a positive side that I find I need to concentrate much more on my composition actually at the tome of taking the shotSorry!
I have, and close up shots look great, even 25" prints viewing from a foot. But detailed foliage at a distance doesn't fare so well. I guess it's pretty obvious that 12mp isn't 24.......
Now I have to consider whether a lovely screen presentation is enough.......
I think it was the 50 apo, which has become one of my fav lenses.Really like the one with the dog. What lens did you use?
Thanks. Very nice image!I think it was the 50 apo, which has become one of my fav lenses.

I agree the cropping is the main setback here but on the other hand to be able to use the 24-70 in a low light situation with high shutter speeds (and silent shutter if necessary) really can help. I was at a friends wedding just with the A7 and 24-70 and found it all worked well together though I would have liked the lens to have been a 2.8 so as to be able to get a bit more seperationHI David
I quite agree - I have some really large prints taken with the Olympus E1 way back when - and they are also fine from normal viewing distances. . .
The cropping is more of an issue for me (not for landscape), but for candid/event/concert shots, when you need to react fast with a prime lens, and cropping makes the difference between making it and not making it.
The pop of these images is hard to resist though!
