Galloping race horses during the morning work - XPro2, continuous AF, zone focus X90 f2 lens - worked like a charm. I suspect with the Oct firmware update there will be little difference between ...

ISO is a measure of the sensitivity of the light energy required to get a specific response of the sensor. It is similar to film but in reality more meaningful in film. https://www.dxomark.com/Abou ...

Probably.  Leica being a mirrorless needs offset micro lenses. That is a special set up.  Leica uses a European foundry - not Sony so their per sensor cost is going to be more than Nikon or Canon. ...

The 50 MP Sony back lit ship is on par with the current ISO and noise performance of the 135 format 36 MP brothers.  The new Hassey has a top end ISO of 25,600, burst rate of 2 frames per second ...

The problem Sigma has and has always had they are a generation behind and their development cycle is longer so they keep falling further behind.  Today the best image sensors are made by Sony. ...

I would be very surprised if a three layer medium format Foveon sensor would cost less than a single layer used in the Hassy, Pentax 645Z and the new Fuji. I'm not even sure one could be ...

Rick, The timberline in Colorado is approximately 10,500 to maybe 11,000 in the South. From these shots it looks to be significantly lower in the Canadian Rockies.  What is the timberline up there?

It is not resolution that drove many serious photographers to medium and large format in film. There are plenty of other factors related to producing a fine quality print than resolution. 135 ...

The image processors is a digital signal processor chip that gets the image after the ADC has turned the image into a digital words.  At that point - the influence of the shot and electronic noise ...

That is sad to hear about the slot canyons being discovered by the hordes.  Back in the 1980's when I lived in Colorado my wife, good friend George Lowe and his girlfriends (only one at a time but ...

The question you didn't answer is how important is speed.  Fuji makes some super fast prime lenses.  Zooms are for my Nikon.  Primes are for my Pro2. If speed is important to you - the 16 f1.4, 23 ...

That answer probably varies among individuals.  If find a rangefinder design more "ergonomic" than an SLR design.  Maybe it is because I used a Leica M 5 primally for 35 mm film.   When I got my ...

I am in the process but the only reason was the Pro 2.  I picked up a Pro 2 with an assortment of high quality lenses (23 f1.4, 35 f1.4, 56 f1.2 and 90 f2) over the past 4 months. I am quite ...

The Leica M is the bread and butter of Leica.  They sell other cameras, which are produced by Panasonic in Japan or maybe Thailand.  But the Leica M - it is produced and calibrated with precision ...

As would I.  Even if it was based on the 16 MP sensor in the Pro 1 - better yet the new 24 MP sensor in a Pro 2 type body - sweet.  I'd be first in line.

The best way to understand is to look at film.  Panchromatic film consists of silver halide crystals suspended in a emulation on the film.  There are coatings use to equal out spectral sensitivity ...

The same people that bought a medium format film camera for better quality B&W over a 35 mm including a Leica.

We are talking about a B&W camera here.  Of course it can't render color can it.  The underlying sensor (except for the Foveon) is monochrome - only counts photons.  It doesn't care what they are. ...

Greg, If you don't hit Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon NP's - you will forever be kicking yourself. Zion is by far the more famous, but Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon are by far the more ...

I often grab my Leica M6 and head out.  Simple camera, simple to use. In reality today we are given too many options and it's often too easy to shoot in a configuration one didn't intend. The ...
