Thanks Luka
RF\'s is a very particular way of shooting. I really enjoy the RF technique and method of shooting, coming from DSLR\'s, and yet for some people it is not them. Personally I love the older ground glass technique and MF film camera. Reason is that when I compose, I remove my mind\'s eye from the scene, and compose purely on what I see looking down.
RF is very different again, taking a snapshot from part of the scene in the view finder. I have never found it easy composing within in a smaller size view finder in a DSLR.
As I have mentioned before, I have the utmost respect for Lloyd, and his reviews. His observations with regards to focusing the RF and its accuracy are so very different than mine. If I were experiencing similar issues in trying focus, I would be very disappointed also. I have had focusing issues, but were resolved within days, and I am finding RF focusing is easier and more fun than with the 5DII.
RF cameras, are really are different way of composing and taking photographs. Excellent in so many ways, but lacking in some of the features of with the DSLR, but yet so much more liberating. There is a place for both as with MF. Just a matter of picking your \"weapon\" of choice.
Agreed! When I post images, I still use both techniques, and I do agree the best is to control the level of sharpening when sizing in stages. I have found Samuli and your knowledge on sharpening and downsizing incredibly helpful.
