Folks,
reading through all these experiences and the review of Joseph Holmes I come to the conclusion that buying a digital MF system especially for landscape fine art photography and the main use of wide angle lenses is currently a very critical action
Can anybody give me advise for this? I want to make high resolution large fine art prints from landscapes. I currently scan my 6x6 films from my pst days with a Hasselblad Flextight X5 and achieve great result in printing up to 80'' x 60''. And one of my favorite lenses was in the range of 35mm an a Hasselblad and a Contax 645 - unfortunately all sold now since many years.
Can I achieve the same quality with a modern Phase One camera and a 28mm lens using a P45+???? Or similar gear from Hasselblad?
Or shoud I wait for the Leica S2 which has not the issues of fine adjustment between back and camera and lens? And is expected to have better image quality because of the Leica glass, also and especially in wide angle areas?
Or should I go and buy again a MF analog system (used and cheap) - and work on film for the next few years? Not quite what I want, because scanning and retouching is very time consuming.
I am desperately waiting and listening for your advice
Many thanks in advance!
