I own and have used fairly extensively both a Pentax 67ii and a 4x5 camera (which is in fact the Chamonix, but in such a camera all that really matters for image quality is the lens, and perhaps ...

Yes, there are some more, although I haven't really one through them yet: I was using the dp2q really only as backup to film which I need to process before thinking about the digital stuff.  Here ...

Arriving at the fair, 9th June, 2022

Uh... OK, now that's just being patronising, sorry.  If I say I generally don't care about incident light it's because I don't, and I have a large collection of very nice negs and prints from them ...

I'm unclear what you're working out here (sorry this paragraph sounds like me being passive-aggressive: it's not meant like that, I really am confused!).  My Pentax spotmeter  reads what I think ...

Both of those things are correct!  I'm not after scientific accuracy but I am after things that don't look absurd which some colour images I see do (in my opinion). Yes, I finally worked that out.  ...

Thank you again: after some experimenting I've marked this as the answer. As you say the images you can get from SPP are certainly better than the in-camera jpegs.  My problems are  then two things. (1) ...

Thank you, this may be the answer. The real question was your (2): I want to be able to replicate what the camera did to make the preview so I can start from a tweakable version of it to get the ...

That's what happens with the current SPP on Mac too: you get to look at the preview image (only) for as long as you like until you do whatever it is (not at my computer) to edit the raw. And that's ...

This is probably a stupid question as I'm inexperienced with colour, let alone digital colour (I'm mostly a B/W film person). I'm using a dp2Q and the current SPP, on a Mac. When taking a raw image ...

My point is that if that the cost to tape-out (make the first) a VLSI device has gone up very significantly over time if that device is state of the art or anywhere close to it.  The cost to ...

I think there's an important difference here which is getting lost in the noise. First of all there's an important difference between things like sensors and things like lenses: sensors are ...

Except it's more complicated than that, isn't it? I have two cameras which essentially have fixed 40-45mm (equivalent) lenses: a Minolta CLE (film camera but bear with me) and a Sigma dp2 Quattro. ...

It's Calke Abbey in Derbyshire: like many large country houses in the UK it slowly fell to bits as the money went away during the 20th century, but unlike most it didn't either get pulled down (a...

I've now posted a couple of fairly random ones in my gallery . (I'm new to dpreview, so I may have botched this.)

I don't think it's bad: I do think it is often irrelevant.  Here are two examples from film photographers. First, look at pictures by Ansel Adams.  Does the image quality matter for these? ...

Not yet: I'll add a note here when I do.

I don't think it would be insane: I bought a DP2 Quattro, second hand (but I think the shutter count was ~100) late last year and I've been happy with it. I am mainly a film photographer, and ...
