Problem with Valeo 17 Fire Wire port
« Reply #20 on: September 08, 2007, 08:59:47 am »

I am still waiting for my first H lens and Ixpress H adapter before I can use the H2.

The Digiflex is not what you would call 35mm. Since working with separate sensor, bodies and glass the whole idea of 35mm, MF has become somewhat blurred. I use the same sensor on a Flexbody, 503, (soon) H as well as the DigiFlex. The differentiator is the glass really and I have not found 1 lens yet that can stand up against the ZF's (not even my CF100/3.5).

I have been pleasantly surprised with the colors from the CF39. It is less abundant than the Leaf but very realistic and beautiful.

Is the DigiflexII a good machine for working handheld? My problem with old Nikons 20 years ago were the small finders. When I shot people, my composistions were often not balanced, because I missed one margin or a corner. The introduction of the HP finders were something important for me.

What subjects do you use it with?

Does the Aptus 17 perform well with lenses like Nikon 85/1,4 MF or 135/2,0 MF?

Of course with ISO 25 the quality will be better than with a 5D.

I use it virtually only hand-held. I use it mainly with environmental portraits (people in their natural habitat) and products (shoes, bags & other accessories). I do around 50K images this way per year.

I have the following lenses in the bag. ZF25/2.8, ZF35/2.0, ZF50/1.4, ZF50/2.0Macro & the Nikkor AF 85/1.4.

The Aptus performs excellent with all these lenses. It is not just the ISO25 but all other things as wel, 16bit colors, 12stops DR, etc.. that make the difference.

Other lenses that I use or have used are: 20/3.5, 28/2.0, 55/2.8macro, 55/3.5macro (AI, Pre-AI, AIS), 60/2.8macro, 105/2.0, 135/2.0DC, 180/2.8, 70-180Macro.
