Hi Pat.
Thank you so much for the compliment.
Yes, I’m going to have a full course, A-to-Z video tutorial that has taken me 4 years to make. It will be coming out in the next couple weeks. It is going to be at least six hours long showing full processing from beginning to end and more. This is going to change everything for a lot of people.
Because people have been demanding it so much I decided I will put out a rougher version that has a little less of the visual aids in it in the next two weeks. Then, when it gets fully revised and finessed, anyone who has purchased it can get the revised version for free!
All you have to do is go to my website and join the newsletter to find out about its release. Plus I send out lots of valuable freebies on my newsletter anyway. 😁
Here is the answer to the Panasonic Lumix S1R:
Having the extremely unique and incredibly privileged full time job for the last 15 or so, years, doing the post processing for world class print enlargement for some of the highest end nature and landscape photography galleries in the world, nationally and internationally, as well as doing many others work for exhibitions or individual print, and things like that, working on literally thousands of files from every conceivable camera and lens combination. Everything from the newest Phase One, or 8 x 10 film, or Hasselblad, of course, Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fuji, and everything else… Also being a constant tester of all these systems, as well as pushing the limitations of all of these systems, in terms of size, and sheer high resolution detail print quality. Getting to test all the software all the time. And constantly pioneering and pushing the bleeding edge of enlargement quality techniques to new levels unheard of before...
Literally, I have found that the Panasonic Lumix S1R, along with the Leica SL2, both cameras (not having overdone megapixels) and precisely at 47, with superior pixel shifting technology, are able to produce files that match, and even BEAT the best of every system I have tested.
When you put something like the like a Leica 90mm, or 75mm or 50mm APO, Summicron or a 55mm Zeiss Otis, or several other highest rated lenses for sharpness, on either of these two camera systems, and you use the superior 187 megapixel HD mode, the photos (and especially how they can be pushed and handled) are absolutely mind-boggling! We are literally setting print quality detail world records with these systems.
These are my two highest rated camera systems in the world at the moment, even above the best of medium format.
Given $1 million to buy any system in the world, this is still what I would be shooting with. The only difference is that I would own all of the sharpest lenses in the world.
I know these kinds of statements will cause controversy, but I only know one other human being that does what I do for a living at the level that I do it, pushing all kinds of files to their absolute edge. This other person could afford any camera system, and still has them on the shelf, collecting dust, as they are also using the same system for their highest most critical detailed work.
I hope it helps.

Mark,
Not that it really matters but curious as to what prompted you to move to the S1R?
Also do any of your videos walk one through the post processing similar to what you described above?
Thanks
Pat
