Hey, John! I heard your wife was shopping around looking at a new ranch for her horses....

Well count me in as being impressed. That LCC performance is far better than I would have expected.
I’d be interested to see how well it copes with other tech lenses like the Schneider wides like the 35XL that always used to render LCCs looking like a nasty bruise on my IQ260 when shot without a center filter.
Dave Chew: I’m hoping to try out the IQ4 in a couple of weeks in the dense forests of the PNW. It sure is easy to ‘get lost’ in one of our forests ... :ROTFL:

The word of techcam demise might have been premature and over blown.
Yeah. Maybe somebody needs to buy my ALPA TC.

I will be standing by with the getaway car if you manage to sneak off with an 150 Achromatic as well!:angel:
Welp, it's pretty clear that Ken has a big ole crush on it. Time for one of you boys to make a move!

This was just released by P1. It should have some interest for tech cameras users.

If they have fixed most of the color cast, which it does appear the BSI did, all that leaves is the loss of saturation in shifts which C1 tended to do a good job on already with the other backs, and crosstalk. Add into the equation focus peaking (still need to see how P1 implemented it) But sure looks good to me.

Makes me regret not buying the last "new" Schneider 28mm XL before it went out of stock along with the center filters...

Ken's just an enabler.

Just played with the RAWs available on the P1 site. They have the same scene with the 23HR and 32HR. The 23HR is awesome, and the 32HR is just glorious. I was skeptical, but I think now I need to visit my dealer and try this thing out. I just upgraded to the Tri in Jan, so we'll see if this is both kidneys or just one.

If the new sensor plays as well as it sems from this one example, I predict some new comers to techcam and return of some who left due to fatigue with the tedious techcam workflow, previously.
So, I think you would have some interested buyers. Or perhaps you would change your mind and decide to hang on

Probably both kidneys plus one nut if not both

I played with the files earlier today and this looks pretty fantastic. Just told my dealer that I’m in for upgrading.
When Sony first introduced BSI sensors, folks did test it with Leica lenses and found that it significantly helped with color cast however corner smearing was still an issue, largely because of the thickness of the cover glass. So Kolari offers a mod to the A7r3 that replaces the thick cover glass with a thin one and the the side by side results I’ve seen show the corner smearing gone and performance equivalent to a Leica body.

Looks very promising. Just wondering if the center filter was used for those shots?

Rodney lough shoots mainly with Arca Swiss and IQ backs now. A few years ago he was still using 8x10 film some of the time.. I think he’s semi retired now, closed down his galleries so not sure what he’s up to but definitely a professional landscape photographer of many decades.Thank you Doug.
I am following (and have posted many times) in the thread you mention here, but among people who add infos on camera gear I see a lot of landscapes from Pentax 645z, Phase XF and DF, Leica S, Fuji GFX, some Hassy X1D, but not much from tech cameras. Hence my question
Best regards,
