Since reading about and investigating the SLR/c, it appears it might be an full frame option worth considering to supplement the R9/DMR. For example, the 15mm & 19mm with the SLR/c stay just that. You get 14 million megapixles, no AA filter, and from what I read really good color.
14 million megapixels! That is a lot of megapixels ;)
Has anyone used this combination; SLR/c, Leica glass, RAW with no camera processing? What does it look like compared to the R9/DMR? Any thoughts Guy?
I am also getting curious. If the colours and sharpness were that good, why did it die in the market? I am sure that, if it were that good, there would have been enough studio photographers to keep it alive for Kodak. Was it just the new-price that killed it? Maybe I will look for one for studio work, but I will wait until Asher has bought :)
A quick, personal answer to Guy's high-ISO rant: I understand what you are saying, but just like people buy fast lenses, high ISO has its place. I almost never go above 800, but when I do, boy am I happy that ISO 1600 on the 5D is better than ISO 800 on the DMR and most other cameras, and even ISO 3200 is still useable, as long as you don't underexpose. It is not an excuse for anything, but high ISO capability is a valuable tool, and a little noise is a small price to pay for getting the shot, when there is no time (or permission!) to use a tripod, and sharpness is needed. I got some awesome shots in a dark museum where tripods are not allowed. I used ISO 1600, and I had to.
I sold two A3+ images this past weekend! Woohoo! My first real sales. And I am working with a tax-wizard close friend to set up a business for any photography I do. It will be a side thing, but it is real! I am so happy :)
