P30+, Mmaiya AFD, 55 2.8 at 4.8.

.... A note on the P30+: I like it better than the 1ds2 or 5D at 1600 iso. I am amazed by its flexability. I was used to shooting the Aptus 22 where iso 400 was almost unusable.

Just a question, was your posted photo shot at 1600?

Thanks

Why can't you make the highlights present in the JPEG? Why even bother posting when it looks like this.

I usually shoot film or 35mm digital for these kinds of quick music mag editorials. I used the P30 alongside 67 film for this one because, well, I could! Note that the highlights are present in the raw and the tiff. The jpg does not do the file justice. A note on the P30+: I like it better than the 1ds2 or 5D at 1600 iso.

HAK, that lens looks incredibly good. This is one of the first posts in this thread where the image quality is very apparent on my monitor. And I almost bought one of those Contax kits last month...

Thank you for your comment, 203.
Although the bronze dragon seems a bit dark first - but viewed at a correct size it turns to the 3D look I wanted to catch.

Despite the 4,5 max opening I'm very happy with this zoom, because it is super-sharp, the 45-90mm range is perfect not only for travelling and the image quality even full-open with a soft bokeh really make you forget the weight (1,25kg incl. the metal shade). You should have bought it ....

It is such a shame that there are no new Carl Zeiss MF lenses.
They should buy the CONTAX name back and team up with a camera producer like Phase and Mamiya did ..............

JP, maybe because I'm busy and I don't want to open up the tiff in PS and convert it to jpeg again just to post to the web. Is that OK? You want I should take it down? Make you feel better?

And to Second Focus, not at 1600, at 100 and under lights.

I am not familiar with working with the camera JPEG. I thought that you were going from full size to JPEG like anybody who wants to show off their work would do. And I didn't understand why the loss of quality was happening. Now I know why it looks bad.

I'm not sure how it was generated. Its either a jpeg from the web contact sheet function of c1 4, or it was from a batch tiff to jpeg action in CS3, or it was a PhotoMechanic extract jpeg preview. The only thing I'm sure about is that it was automated. It was awhile ago and is no longer embargoed. Aside from the missing highlights on KP's cheeks I don't see any other problem with the image. Is it my monitor? I'm on the road and using an old Powerbook, but it looks fine otherwise.

As to the method of "presenting my work", I hope I don't offend anyone here but I don't treat a jpeg post of a quick and dirty editorial image to a landscape web forum as any reason to break a sweat. If its between 15 minutes of computer work or 15 minutes washing dishes, I'd rather wash dishes. If this thread requires perfect images, then, well, I'll only post press ready images.

Personally I would rather see the post and explanation as opposed to seeing nothing. I found JP's post offensive and his back-peddling amusing.

I can't imagine anyone would expect much in a small jpg anyway. Untold detail is lost and the comment about the highlights sufficient.

Thanks again for all the posts -- even JP's images that started this thread.

Here is one of my first shots taken with a Hassey after many, many years of Canon use. This is a Bonobo taken over Christmas in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Great trip, very humid but the Hassey worked pretty well. Just back from Uganda/Rwanda photographing Gorillas. Hassey not so good as in low light its auto-focus was pretty poor and I switched back to the Canon!

Anyway, H3D II - 39 withg the 300mm lens.

Tried to get some nice shots of the early - brief spell of warm weather - confused Daffodils here in London.
I am a bit late as a lot were starting to look old... maybe better luck with timing next year.
Taken last Sunday, and then they were ruined by storms on Monday.

My humble contribution/effort.

Photo illustration shot for our upcoming company newsletter article, comparing teabags steeping in different temperature water as a metaphor for different management techniques.

Tech spex:
Bronica SQ-B, waistlevel viewfinder
Zenzanon PS 80mm f/2.8
Hasselblad Ixpress V96C via Silvestri adapter for Bronica
2x cheap China-made flash strobes

ISO 50, 1/500s, f/9.5

Didn't do anything except adjust blackpoint and remove some scratches from the table top.

Great shots - thanks for sharing!

Lots of really good work here. But there's a suspicious lack of cats. A dog or two, sure, but not enough housecats to really compare these with other photographic tools.
