How do you like that back?single frame, not cropped, some down tilt (probably 1 degree), no shifting; actually my first shot with the lens
hasseblad CFV-50c, cmos back with the cambo Actus. processed in Phocus, no LCC, no lens corrections, no center filter
it is pretty good on the edges and far/near (tilt). if i was hell bent for edge detail, probably would have done a two shot horizontal pano to make the LS and RS as sharp as possible
Yes, the corner has a fair bit of detail loss, but I'm yet to see 60xl samples that show it's better. The ones Anders posted were underwhelming, especially considering they corps from the center edge, not upper corner. I'd upgrade if the performance is markedly better, but am hindered by not being able to try before I buy...Looks like the top left crop is affected by the shift/fall. At those shift numbers, I would think the SK would do a little better, but I'd like to confirm with pics.
Just hanging out with the kids in Antigua this week. Will get you some samples as soon as I get back early next week.Yes, the corner has a fair bit of detail loss, but I'm yet to see 60xl samples that show it's better.

Paula is great. As for SK, I hear both sides, firstly that they will stop producing tech lenses, but I have also heard they are working on next gen retro wides and ASPH versions of the 150 etc. But reality is that they are selling crap loads of Phamiya LS lenses so it could be an issue of priorities.Thanks Jag,
That would be awesome. I've just had a note from Paula at Linhof Studio confirming what I already knew to be true and communicated by all of you here before, that Schneider is now producing its last run of digital lenses, for delivery (at least for the 72mm that I enquired about) in the 18th week of next year. Really sad that one of only two of the big players is pulling out of this area... I'd better get in quick if I'm going to jump...
Schneider is leaving the large format lens business entirely. Rodenstock was destroying them market share wise. Not a surprise as most of the tech cam lenses we have sold in the last four years have been Rodenstock. Whomever hinted at a new line of Schneider retro focus lenses is incorrect. They got beat and are going home.Gotta love spellchecker auto-correct
Our tech camera test included the 60XL with 60mp sensor and varying amounts of shift. Have you seen that?That's a bummer, but as expected.
Doug, I wonder what your thought are on the samples above and the performance one could expect to gain (or not) with the 60xl?
