Lol Andrew, seriously? 

I think the only disturbing part is that the photographer had to name the picture, and named it "falling man".

Ah btw, death is certain my friends.

Guys, don't bid on eBay until the last moment, don't start bidding wars. 

What about the Fuji FinePix S5 Pro. It has these super dynamic range pixels that record the highlights. That has to be filmic.

My Q cost a few dollars less than two used x100f. So there definitely is some money to be saved as well.

Mattias, confess! Your wife/gf (the one in the sofa) reads the forum too. Those bargains you mention are just a lie to make her not freak out.

Hey Mercer, what's your film about??? ^^ 

Max res on the 5D mkiii ML raw was 1920x1200 the last time I checked, 3:2 instead of 16:9

Hi, Marc, and welcome to the forum. I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm curious - have you ever used tilt-shift lenses?

He owns them.

A fun thing to do would be installing magiclantern on your canon and shooting some raw video, this will enable you to treat your videos with the same adjustments and programs (Adobe Camera raw).

If you enjoy the results and prefer them to 4K you coul try the 5D mkiii which doesn't have the moire from the ii.

If not you will probably want to look into the Sony A7r II

Looks nice, but yes, it could have had a brighter lens.

JCS, why do you think this health advice is relevant for a camera forum?

It's getting hard for threads about creativity and gear to be waylaid like this almost every time with your new age philosophies.

Please let's try and stay on topic.

Because cognitive functions and creativity go hand in hand, I guess.

LOL Right @Andrew Reid, give Ed the power and end of story. 

After all that's what liberals want, power. Social Justice is just an excuse, White Privilege is the new Original Sin. The Ed Davids are the new Priests, they want power and Privilege in exchange of nothing. Social justice is never going to come through people like Ed.

I am in general surprised how none of the Japanese beasts have used the method in crop sensor glass... Surely a good way to design the lens itself, never mind having one in the camera!

They should all be on the phone to Brian Caldwell!

Brian himself doesn't believe that there is anything inherently better in bigger sensors.

Your social activism is cultural apropiation, please stop doing it.

Been there, not really possible because the quality at larger apertures is horrible.

I used to compare stuff I did at the time with my D800 and H3Dii-39 and the word that always came to mind was 'smoother'.

Only in terms of the output was it smoother though as it was a clunky fucker to use!

Yep, nothing compares to a good DSLR body in terms of usability, not even the 50.000$ new phase one . I wish there were a Nikon D67, 68x54 sensor in a D5 body.

DXO rate it to be worse than the 5DmarkV, the D810 and the A7Rii by a considerable margin.

I'm predicting you'll take some actual images with it and decide otherwise....

At pixel level the shadows are horrible, but I found the highlights to be much more forgiving on these old sensors, and when playing around with the tonal range I find that the images look less HDRish. So overall it looks better to my eyes.

Rolling shutter will be vertical.

Maybe it's their way of avoiding raw video patents ^^. But 4300€ is too much...

I wouldn't worry about the shutters in HC lenses, once it fails you can send them to Hasselblad and they will put a new one in, and with a little luck they have used up all the old stock and put in the new model that goes up to 1/2000

Btw, these lenses are cheaper than your canon crap , how much would a canon 100 2.2 equivalent cost?

P45+ mamiyamount. Hasselblad H line is.nice but limited to their lenses.

That's what the 42 MP sensor is for? 
A full downsample from 8K to 4K seems to be beyond current processors, but at least line-skipping gives a tidy 4K matrix of pixels, even if the gaps can lead to more aliasing.
The 4K full frame out of the A99II seems fairly clean, when in theory it should be roughly the same as the A7Rii - is there some clever voodoo going on there then?

The d810 doesn't has Strong aliasing compared to the d800, the d850 will probably do the Same with 4k.

Contax 50 1.7

An open, payed alpha. No thanks, but in the future who knows.

Nikkor 20mm 2.8 ai-s

The 17 ts-e makes me feel all warm inside. Shooting buildings and interiors with it is super exiting.
