The Monarch shot is good, if a little over-saturated. The road and

Your just arguing nomenclature.

The majority of people on this list can't afford the current MF/LF
digital bodies/backs, without selling their soul & organs. So when
someone refers to full frame digital, it's generally understood that
they're talking 35mm full frame.

Cheers,

But if "they" includes users of other systems, including medium format ones,
then it becomes annoying. Pentax, opposite to Canon, is present in medium

"full frame" is not a format name. It can be used as a format name only 
  if supplemented by information "which frame" ? In citation above it is

35mm, or 135, and the crop factor is relative to full frame of 135 
format. It annoys me that you people buy Canona marketing speach as if 
135 was the only format used in photography. It might be for Canon 
users, but that's it. Some other vendors, most notable Pentax, venture

Hmm, I think you may have more of a Canon fixation than many here, I'm
just glad that they are actually doing it, they simply provide the
proof that delivering a 24x36mm (is that better?) sensor is both
viable and desirable. However If they provided a Canon body with K
mount I'd have my cash out to exchange for product ;-)

He links to this http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/71055999 from his site 
http://www.kenrockwell.com/gallery.htm

I can't work out whether he knows it is a joke at his expense or if he takes it 
at, erm, face value.

"full frame" is not a format name. It can be used as a format name only 
  if supplemented by information "which frame" ? In citation above it is 
35mm, or 135, and the crop factor is relative to full frame of 135 
format. It annoys me that you people buy Canona marketing speach as if 
135 was the only format used in photography. It might be for Canon 
users, but that's it. Some other vendors, most notable Pentax, venture 
in other formats.

You best let Pentax know as they still make DA lenses which are
compatible with FF cameras and they quote their DSLRs as having a crop
factor relative to FF 35mm ;-)

And I'd bet that plenty of people couldn't tell the difference between
a 7MP shot from a P&S at ISO1600 vs a well processed RAW shot from a
5D at low ISO and others would claim to be able to differentiate
between lower ISO settings on a 5D. It's just like the audio
enthusiasts lists.

Listen to the new guy lecturing us. 

Interesting but we've been over this umpteen thousand times.  Most of 
what you're saying is known to even the most technically obtuse on this 
list. 

Very good 35mm lenses work well on the Canon FF digital cameras.  This 
is testified to by the number of Pentax and other manufacturers ultra 
wide lenses converted to EOS mount or used with an adapter by Canon 
shooters in spite of the obvious limitations imposed upon them by doing 
this.

Your arguments are known. Your conclusions are suspect, and your mother 
dresses you funny. 

By the way welcome to the list.

2007-01-02 Thread K.Takeshita
I am fond of APS-C but not despising FF.  I am just satisfied with the
current performance and compactness of gears of APS-C DSLR.  And of course I
have no intention whatsoever to bring out some $3,000 for essentially
nothing more than just a camera.   This might change if and when the
cost/performance ratio becomes more convincing.

BTW, this FF vs APS-C subject is a hot topic everywhere including of course
Japan.

What they call "blind test" is rampant.  They exhibit images taken by
various cameras including 5D (usually more than 5 images taken by different
cameras) and see if anyone can tell the difference.  This of course is more
for an entertainment and no formal testing etc, and testing bases are not
uniform, let alone they are all web images.
For 5 or so games, no one so far could tell which was 5D images. This of
course does not say anything about the performance of 5D (FF enthusiasts,
don't get too excited about it.  It's just a game :-).  But it does tell
some truth about the level of difference between APS-C and FF at the current
state of the art in everyday shooting.

And someone summarized their feeling by each brand "faction"

Canon faction:  
I can't tell the difference from APS-C image even though I paid so much of
my precious money.  I have to cry.

Sonyαfaction: 
Sony has lost credibility in manufacturing in recent years, so we will
consider it AFTER they ever offer FF.

Pentax faction:
I can take excellent images without FF now.  I do not need it.

Nikon faction:
Nikon tells us nothing, and why are we wasting time on FF fever?
If you want 35mm FF, buy film cameras.

So the debate continues.

Hell, many Canon WA lenses, (all WA lenses on 35mm to some extent, but 
Canon has some of the worst, and most expensive), were problematic on 
film as far as vignetting was concerned.  Why would they be "better" on 
Digital?   I think that Leica partly picked the 1.3x crop Kodak sensor 
so their price would be merely astronomical not "US Federal Budget" sized.

I am not. Or maybe this whole Canon propaganda just started p**ng me off. I came
from 6x7 (Pentacon Six) and see nothing special in 135 format, except maybe
balance of speed and quality for sport photographers and habit of many, many
photographers. But habits can be challenged and sport photographers do not
really care that much for image quality :-P

Plenty if you'd care to look, and only a handful of examples with
"vignetting" as a keyword.

http://www.pbase.com/dreamndigital/vignette

It's just not the problem it's made out to be in most normal shooting
circumstances. This reminds me how some people whine that the
SMCP-A50/1.2 is soft and vignettes, sure it vignettes a little but
when it's really needed  wide open then vignetting is likely the
photographers last concern.

it tells about the whole system - light leaving lens is hitting sensor under
steep angle, and microlenses are only able to focus part of this light on the
silicon. This lens might be perfect on film, but sensor is sensitive to
qualities that film won't notice.

I've got some samples I took in store with a Canon 5D and EF 17-40mm
f4 L lens. At 17mm & 40mm there is vignetting, but it's easily
treatable in the RAW converter. I think this says more about the lens
than the camera IMO.

Just my 0.02c

Dave

B obviously hasn't looked at too many "big" Canon or Leica M8 produced images.
