Hi All,
Great shots guys. I am creating big composite images, so these will be on the biggest tripod Gitzo makes, with mirror lock up. Eric, if you look back at my test images, note that the view camera, APO Digitar 180 was significantly more accurate than the 180 on the Hy6. I shot them on different days, so the heat may have had a factor too, but I can't remember. I do know that the 350 was useless as both the other lenses were much better.
According to the MTF charts, the 300 appears to be a little better than the 180. Eric, would you be in a position to shoot something with both lenses and then do a crop that would be adjusted to the focal length, so the size of the object was about the same? I would love to see what the combinations of things were and if I had both lenses plus the 1.4 doubler I would do four shots just to see.
I really like the Hy6 platform and I would prefer to stay here, as opposed to dumping it all and going with the 240 on the Phase body. I am working on a project where the state of the art is needing to be defined, so it is really important I find out objectively what that state is. It also should be good info for other forum members, so I don't mind asking for help!
Best,
Kevin
