I recently purchased a Credo-60, refurbished by the manufacturer.
I actively chose the CCD over some of the current popular CMOS alternatives, for reasons that seem sane.
However, now that I have the gear in-hand, I find the "Live View" to be more like a "Dead View" instead!
I had imagined I'd use the "Live-(Dead)-View" to help me focus LF cameras (Sinar P-2, Hassy FlexBody, Cambo Actus DB+), using movements. These images are often difficult to focus properly on the small LCD's of the MFDB.
Man...was I disappointed! ...
....
What actual experiences have you had with your LCD "Live-(Dead)-View" on CCD-sensor MFDB?
I don't need the theory...I've had quite enough of that.
I really want to hear your experiences, and what you have done to accommodate the "Dead-View" conditions.
I've used a variable ND filter (to ND-12) as directed by those smarter than I, but at that decrease in illumination, it's frankly impossible to focus on ANYTHING, based on what appears on the LCD!
Any real-world experiences, and advice, gratefully received.
HELP......!!
Cheers,
Hank
