Hi, Woody...H4D 60 + HC 300 + 1.7x telextender.
I like the color version as it has better tonality in the highlights, though personally I would add more vignette to it.Color or BW?
Slightly different crops. H3D-39 with HC 3.5-4.5/50-110.
Good question. In a word "no". It's best at f16 but not stellar at that. I was having some fun with the combination looking for a moody shot.Hi, Woody...
Is this combination critically sharp?
...at all apertures?
Yair,A few from today; Harbour City in Hamburg, Germany. It was a hazy, freezing day with some really beautiful light
The first two were shot with an Aptus-II 12R on a Hassy 503CW and a 60mm lens. The others are off an Aptus-II 12 on a 645DF and 80mm LS lens
Hi Anders,Yair,
Very interesting post. What strikes me is that the first image using 503CW w/60 seem so sharp and 3D, albeit difficult to judge on web and perhaps also due different light conditions of the shots.
How do you experience the 503CW w/60 compared to DF w/80 LS as far as focus accuracy and sharpness of the images?
Did the 503CW have a split focus screen for ease of focus, and was the focus screen used calibrated using the screws, thus for focus screen to most perfect match the sensor in back?
Thank you :salute:
Regards
Anders
Ed,
Ed, spectacular shot!! Both the color and B&W versions are impressive, favoring the color one just a bot more. Those whispery clouds appearing to head in a vertical direction, contrast nicely with the horizontal landscape. It's just a thought, but I think personally I would like to see a little more "drama" in the B&W version...possibly with slightly higher contrast...but I know that runs the risk of losing detail and the lovely grey scale gradation in the shadows.Thanks Joe. That was the first scene I photographed upon reaching Antarctica and probably the most dramatic.
The B&W seems much more dramatic than the color version:
