That translates into what, about a 12mm rectilinear 35mm equivalent? And you want what? See: http://www.rgaphoto.com/GT/content/Valley_View_Pano_W_large.html This image is from 3 main segments produced by using 3 back shifts with a portrait oriented P45+ and 35mm lens, for each segment. The 3 back shifts of each segment were stitched together from the images of the 35mm lens shifted in portrait orientation. This roughly equates to the view of each of the 3 segments equaling the field of view of a 17.5mm medium format lens/ 12mm lens on a 35mm format system. 3of these were stitched(swinging the camera on a panoramic head) to give the image. It was then cropped. The file is over 2.2GB. Give me a place to stand and I will hang this image! In all seriousness there are some correctly stated and some overstated items in this expose. But all in all, medium format for landscapes is at a really nice place right now... Anyone want to buy some Hassy V and Canon equip? :-) Bob Bob Adler http://www.rgaphoto.com On Jul 6, 2011, at 9:25 PM, Richard Man <richard at imagecraft.com> wrote: > My pipe dream is that someone, well, Fuji specifically :-) would make a > > 18x49mm sensor, and build a digital RF system for it.
