Edit:
Okay that was a little harsh as it's actually a pretty good read although a bit gushy. Fine landscape photos.

He's done similar things with Hasselblad. If I was so good and well-recognized and got money for doing something like that I'd probably do it myself too though :)

The interesting thing here is he obviously isn't using medium format with these zeiss lenses. I wonder what the camera is, a D800 perhaps?

Some Exif (http://www.capture-the-moment.co.uk/tp/tfu29/upload/d800.jpg).

Others are with the D800E.

Edit: Oh, I've heard that he has used multiple formats in parallel all the time, so perhaps not so big deal then.
