Extraneous question, is there a way to get a review of prints submitted to the print contest? Iām will to pay and very curious if each paper was considered appropriate for each picture
Hi, it's interesting how often people are switching their equipment. You are loosing a lot of money.
Yes medium format is special and of course higher resolution can have a positive effect on printing. It's from my view a lot more difficult to differentiate tonal effects from lenses or processing from the MF versus full frame.
i do like MF and own a Phase One camera with 100MP but my main point is the joy of composing the picture so I am using my PO and an iPad or a MacBook Pro with tethering to get the picture I have an idea about.
So printing is the next fun, later.
my other photographic work I am doing with my Canon EF equipment, it's much more comfotable for walking but I can get also excellent pictures in my view also it's inly FF.
So have much fun but I disagree that onyl MF can be the basis of good prints. Michael Wendt
Les, you must be my brother from another mother. I shot Nikon for 40+ years and then switched to the Fuji x system and MF, first Pentax 645D, then Z because I love making large prints. When the GFX system came out I switched over because of the better lens selection and I've never looked back. I have owned every camera in the GFX lineup (I know I have a bad case of GAS). When I first shot with the GFX 100, the depth and smoothness of the tonal range almost brought a tear to my eye. The ergonomics however were difficult for me so when the 100S was announced I knew it was my dream camera and I have not been disappointed. I second all your comments.
Well written piece, thanks for keeping us up to date and sharing you knowledge.
Without a doubt, my favorite camera. It's not like I'm going out to eat with pals or anything like that. Thanks for the info
