Casey guarding the top of the stairs. F4s, 50 1.4D on Velvia 50. Really was just checking to see if the old SB25 still works, apparently it does. I'm hoping that the pink cast is due to the film being like 3 years expired and not some faulty processing.
I think the scan I gave Corposant (Mike) was only that big because it still had the layers I used to make it look how it does. I wanted to let Mike have as much latitude in how HE wanted the file to look in the end, hence the layers. The original was scanned at 4000 ppi which give roughly a 600 mb RGB 16 bit per channel file from 6x7. The tiff file with the layers was probably over 4 gb, so that's why the psb. And yes, it still amazes me how much we were able to dig out of that piece of film. This is another good example of how scanning can be very satisfying.
Fverburg,
I thought all the RZ lens are pretty good.
The two "best" ones I have are the 65mm LA and the 50mm ULD
The 110 is very nice. The 180 is the least sharp of the kit but when you need focal length it get's the job done.
The 65 is ~$250-300 & the 50 ULD is about $450+ so there is a 1st/2nd tier with RZ lenses.
The 65 is the most versatile for me but the 50 is crazy sharp.
I usually stick to the sweet spot if I can, which is f8-f11. Sometimes I push it for DOF.
Now I have to learn all over again with my LF lenses!
