  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Jim, build a medium format digital back!

why not a space shuttle for $1,000,000.00?.. it would rock :)
 
i did not say it was the best compared to the 11, 22, and 30mp camera, but it truly looked good. That said, 8X10 scanned vs a 22mp digital now you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

I found this, but it is he Phase P45, which I am not a fan of, but here is the results of one photographers test. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/Cramer.shtml
That's a three year old test! And that back was on a par with 4x5" film then.
Also on the LL website they did an Antartcic trip recently and 10 were Phase back owners and they had a P65+ back to try out. 6 of them ordered the new back as it was apparently quite a bit better. It's not always about MP but the quality/look of the image that's important and ISO ability - the latter has improved in MFDBs of late.
 
I think a medium format still brain from RED would be a fantastic idea. I'd be happy with RED 645 at 3 fps - one designed specifically for still photography and not a hybrid DSMC. I think Phase One would have some catching up to do, or at least lower their prices.
