Well, I tried to carry an argument ad absurdum I regarded rather snobby in the first place. But if you want to argue seriously, when working with LF 4x5 I typically shot landscape, and when doing...

Roll film in a LF camera? Yuck – why not go the whole nine yards and use sheet film? 🤣

@BackToNature1: True - on the other hand, I shoot stills and don't care.

@Urbex Mark: Which Z lens is better than any Sony? Whether it's the 70/200/2.8, let's see...

Wholeheartedly agree. I almost immediately returned the 2x after having tried it with the GM I. If the II performs well with the 2x I will revert that move.

I know of this problem discovered by LensRentals. On the other hand, for the anecdotal value of it, I nor anyone I know ever had that problem. Maybe it was a bit exaggerated?

Same thought here: "I wonder how they made that camera and lens look as if they had been in their bags for like 3 years :D".

@ProDude: I have to second you: If a camera is more expensive, heavier, and larger, I'd expect more difference in IQ. That's totally independent of whether people are happy with their GFX'es or...

:-) Maybe it's the spaces?

@falconeyes I sticked to the recommendations Topaz made, and didn't upscale afterwards using another tool, I used no sharpening upfront or so, so I guess I didn't apply it improperly - of course...

If that is the case, then I don't have to try Adobe (despite having a subscription anyway). When I checked out Topaz Gigapixel AI end of last year, at least for my landscapes photos, taken with an...

Or a sensor swap - no, just kidding, sorry, couldn't resist ;) Actually, I'd second sye46, if sensors swabs don't work nothing will.

Would be interested but need to process 4x5.

Take any book on optics. The diagram on the page you linked does not take into account refraction. In reality, the path of the lateral ray through dark glas is much shorter, because the ray on ...

A flat filter does not add anything in terms of the cosinus-phi law. The only effect you get at steep angles is (theoretically) a larger loss due to reflection but this is mitigated well by the ...

I am about to try out the Nisi system - NiSi, Haida, and Kase systems seem to be pretty similar, so the adapter system of NiSi and the availability of a combined ND64+polarizer filter were ...

For example, interesting rock walls with water falls in confined areas. Also, coastal areas where one or two of the upper corners feature detail at infinity. There are loads of examples where you ...

You got it totally wrong in at least two aspects: Firstly, I tried out two different rear filters myself, Haida and Kase, found out about the field curvature they cause, at least with my 12-24 GM ...

No, that's not the point - but also true. What I found, and got confirmed at the Fred Miranda board, is that rear filters introduce field curvature. Which, depending on the subject, might actually ...

Thanks - but the first enlargement is not of the corner, the second doesn't show details in the corner. Also, this is not fuzzy corners but field curvature, so with your first sample, it might ...
