Hi,
I have pretty much the same shooting style with both MFD and 24x36 mm. With 24x36mm I also shoot action, never with the Hasselblad 555/ELD as I don't have a shutter button on that camera.
But generally, I always shoot on tripod whenever feasible. On the Hassy I mostly shoot f/11, because I struggle a bit with focusing. On the A7rII I mostly shoot at f/8. These are approximately equivalent apertures. Naturally, I change aperture for effect when needed. Why I use tripod? Because it helps me focus on composition and gives me some serenity when shooting.
I also develop both in Lightroom, with home made profiles.
What I have seen is that I can generally not say which camera was used for what image just by looking. The rare cases I directly compared the two systems I wouldn't say I saw a difference. Some lenses are better and some are less good, of course, but that applies to both systems.
My experience is with a P45+, it has same resolution as the A7rII in practice.
The aspect ratio doesn't really matter to me, as I almost always crop or stitch my images to subject, but I can often see that a more quadratic size is often more appropriate than more rectangular formats.
So, no, with my kind of shooting I don't think there is an MFD look.
But, would I do large aperture shooting for short DoF or had the policy to compose for sensor format it may be different.
I have not used any MFD than the P45+, but whatever the sensor or sensor size, the same physics still apply, so I don't think there was more of an MFD look with modern sensors.
High end sensors like the IQ3100 MP obviously can show a tremendous amount of detail when paired with excellent lenses, of course, but I would be pretty sure that we need print large to observe that advantage.
Which of these images has an MFD look?
Best regards
Erik
The answers: #2 and #5 from top are MFD, #1 is Sony A7rII stitched, #3 and #4 are a7rII and #6 is Sony Alpha 99 SLT.
If I had to pick three that would be:
Style of shooting (obviously the most influencing parameter)
Sensor size
Lens design / look
I think the most important technical thing is the image ratio. Focus fall off is quite different with bigger size. That being said, we don´t really have a true MF size with digital. If you have been used to 6x7 or LF sizes it still does not compare.
