Oh, I'm not complaining, Bryan. The trick, as you know well, is to use a tech camera as flexibly as you would an SLR. It's not the chip. It's not even primarily the lens. It's the vision and imagination of the photographer.

And there WAS a big smiley emoticon at the end there. :D

Best,

Matt

(and it's a good thing that the workshop instructors had some damned amazing shots, right?)

For inspirationly needs of course. LOL

As I said on the workshop the vision takes a little while to come back when working with a tech cam. It is not something we shot for many years. It's simply a change of shooting style and after the process gets under your belt your vision comes back. This really is a normal progression. You guys got some great images. It certainly took me some time to get my creative juices going again. I chalked that up to a being familiar with it.
 
With a tech cam and super sharp, perfect lenses, the sensor size may not matter so much, especially if you're a stitcher; however for lenses with more character, it becomes more visible with a larger sensor. The best example I can think of is a 50 summilux on a FF M9 looks totally different to the same lens mounted on a Nex 5 or Fuji XPro1. If I could get my hands on a smaller sensor it would be nice to test this with a the Mamiya RZ 110/2.8 to see what a difference it makes there.
