It's not that Jens is "wrong", it's that he blames his camera for the fact that he spends a lot of time on post-production. His problem is simply his style of shooting.

In fact I usually shoot with the intent of cropping as part of the processing. One of the many reason mini-lab prints never quite did it for me (short of using a pair of scissors, grin). With event photography one has to shoot tightly because "develop and print" is the only way to make a profit at the low prices you get paid. I will always remember the Speed Graphic ad from back in the 50's that was titled "One Good Negative, Seven Great Photos" in which they showed seven crops from the negative that were entirely different pictures from each other. SO! If the crop is planned from the start it is no different than a full frame shot except that one has the choice of formats other than the one native to the camera. I agree with Jens on this one. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Jens Bladt wrote: > Well, there is IMO.
