Fun with S1/s1r

[PeterA]

Hi Peter. I generally use the Epson printer driver with the P800 (and with my 3880 and other Epson printers in the past). I like the Epson ABW (Advanced Black and White) functionality. Occasionally I will use QTR (Quadtone RIP) if I'm not getting results I like with ABW on particular images/prints.

Two of the regular particpants in monthly color and B&W print exchanges I've been part of since April 2002 use Imageprint 10 to make their prints with a P800 and P5000. The prints do look very good.

My only complaint with the P800 is that when printing on 17 inch wide paper I sometimes get a slight paper skew as the paper feeds thru the printer. I've found ways to minimize it, but it does require some extra care.

It might be worth checking out the Canon Pro-1000 too.

While I have mostly used Epson photo printers for the last 20+ years, I've also owned/used the Canon Pro-10 and Pro-100 with good results. The Pro-1000 looks very good.

Thanks for the link Gary. My benchmark is actually cost of outsourcing to pro labs V the amenity of knocking off smaller sized stuff at home. My typical print size starts at 3X2 or 4X3 feet and I wont ever buy a large printer as I'm just not interested. However for smaller sized print runs - maybe...tbh I've hung a 75inch LCD screen on a wall at home and use that for personal display...but I do want to print some small stuff around the place. books/albums are definitely imo left to outsourcing

Processed one more of the few images I took with the S1R a couple weeks ago, before the "stay at home" order kicked in. I may try to get out this weekend for little while. Get some fresh air, exercise and take a few photos. Lots of space here in Alaska to be outdoors and far away from anyone else.

Went to one of the hunting preserves a couple days ago to socially distance myself and do some shooting... of my S1R + 24-105/4.

Given the S1R is an outstanding camera in my view, we need some more image action here on this board. S1r, 16-35mm f4, F/10. Cornwall, England,

I agree... I actually seem to be doing more video with my S1R than photo these days... and I’ve also been busy with work and our first kid on the way.

Congrats! All the best to your wife and you. Make sure to get enough sleep before the big day

I agree Quentin. The S1R is an excellent camera with rock solid build and very good performance. I finally traded off most of my remaining Sony and Canon gear (except for some of the EF lenses) for a like new S1R and Lumix S 24-105 lens. I also have two Sigma MC-21 converters that work perfectly with the Canon EF lenses that I held back and a couple of Sigma SA mount lenses (50/1.4 and 100-400). Very pleased with the performance of the S1R with all of the native and adapted lenses. A few sample images from the new kit below.

Still exploring options with the S1R.

Laowa 14/4 Zero-D lens in L mount. Looks like this one will need a flat field DNG profile for correcting corner color casts.

First try with High-Res mode using the 24-105. Cropped to a 135 MP image and resampled 50% for posting to Flickr.
