  • 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 :)

MEDIUM FORMAT, help me out Tom

i don't think yet, but when hasselblad, leaf and phase one start thinking about making a movie mode it should get interesting, or maybe there will be a view camera back that can do it.

anyway, since the larger sensors will downscale, it should be possible to build a large sensor medium format style, that could also use the lenses for 35mm slrs and pl mount stuff, and then just pull the correct amount of data from the sensor

it always made sense to me to have the sensor in its own housing, just like a film mag and let that evolve on its own
 
Is there any Digital Large Format Cameras out now? lol
 
I think FF35mm, aka Vista Vision, is big enough for a movie camera. When you get into medium format, the lenses are slow, etc.
 
Since you are talking about automatation of functions why not make it programmable? Importing scripts with an SD-card or similar which make it possible to call certain commands like how redline work but for the cameras internal system. A wild idea ;)

Deanan, what do you think about the exposure "ratcheting" idea? It might be a pain to design, but Red's DSLR Killer would be the only camera on the planet with that feature. The resulting shots would really be something, IMO.

Actually it has already been done by an Austrian company specialising in time lapse...

An exposure curve is applied so that the transition from Day to Night is natural and not fooled by cloud/sun scenarios.
 
I think I am going to bump a couple of these older threads just to show that Jim and Red DO listen to us. :)

And Done!

Only the view camera option left, but that is being discussed in another thread.
 
Michael, do you have any experience driving a getaway car... 'cuz I'm working on a plan. :gun: :)
 
I plan on pickin up either the 2/3 or s35 scarlet and then I'm going to play wait and see with epic. The ff35 and 645 make the most sense to me even if a Pl mount live on them most of the time. I'm also hoping for a clean 1280 ISO on monstro. And sorry Tom and can't talk about my bank robbing skills on a forum with real names. :detective2:
