Re: OT: 645 format 50 Mpix from Hassie
It seems on a per photo basis, (even a good size commercial operation), would never amortize one of these over their useful lifetime. For most studios on a cost per shot basis it's would be less expensive using film. (Ok, so that's not even back of the envelope calculations but that's what my gut tells me).

High-end commercial shooters can justify 40K for a camera. Some of the best gross that much in a couple days of shooting.

Re: OT: 645 format 50 Mpix from Hassie
Mid level commercial photographers do just fine with Canon and Nikon. And if they get a job that really justifies medium format digital, they can rent equipment. But a mid level shooter who works for $2000 a day or so generally doesn't get work that justifies MF expenditure. Some, of course, shoot MF or large format film at that level.

And if they get a job that really justifies medium format digital, they can rent equipment. But a mid level shooter who works for $2000 a day or so generally doesn't get work that justifies MF expenditure. Some, of course, shoot MF or large format film at that level. I'm assuming the Hassy is for the big-name commercial guys who have $25k day rates? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

My experience here in Sydney is that the most common users are wedding photographers. Their is a good showing of design/print houses and a few of the wealthy hobbists, but I find mostly it is the crowd of wedding photogs who want, or demand, the highest possible resolution. Im not sure how or when, 35mm became a pro level camera for weddings, but now that there is more glass available for the blads, many of wedding photogs seem to moving back into MF.

My experience here in Sydney is that the most common users are wedding photographers. If you're a wedding photographer who charges $5000-$10,000 (or more) per gig and whose clients are millionaires, you probably *need* a $40,000 camera. Not for the image quality, necessarily, but as part of *your* image, with which you have to market yourself to that kind of customer. Not a big deal for those guys - the camera will pay for itself fairly quickly and its depreciation written of as a business expense. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
