Have you tried a bit warmer white balance?
No - I tried some unusual colorprocessing here including one layer being changed in LAB mode in another file and cooling the shadows and warming the lights. I also used a blurred layer to increase some of the atmospheric effects. I feel this file is a difficult learning experience for me and we still have to learn to know each other better so to say .... This second version is better concerning the toning, but looking at it this morning, I feel color indeed needs still improving. In the original scan the clouds are totally invisible and hidden in mush - I had exposed for the shadows and thus the lights are quite at the edge of the curve. I feel I need to experiment with this file even more.
Hi,
Have you seen this one? Don't forget to click for actual pixels view, it is about 4000x6000 pixels. Sony Alpha 99 and Samsung 14/2.8.

It doesn't compete with 4x5" inch film, but still pretty impressive from a 350$US ultra wide, isn't it?
Best regards
Erik
Indeed it is.
I am constantly dragged between going the DSLR route or MFDB.
When I worked with that loaned IQ260 I was blown away by the quality and robustness of the files it produced.
And 4x5" film still is an option.
In any case I want movements.
MFDB is just so insanely expensive if you are inside the 60 MP up range.
But its not only about resolution.
My impression is, the scanned files and the purely digital files have a very different feel I need to explore further.
And I don't know if this is just some crazy subjectivism and I am a victim of some sophisticated marketing or if I am feeling something real here.
Cheers
