RE: GESO: playing in the studio

Hi Paul You can't imagine how much I like mails like yours at the moment. On Topic, nice words and a real story and more. Your Pentax cooperates a lot better with the nose than the Mamiya :-) Would be nice to see (unfair) comparison shots of the two cameras. greetings Markus -Original Messag

Re: GESO: playing in the studio

Hi Markus, Thanks. Yes, I'd rather talk about photography as well. I think the small jpegs are misleading. On a large blowup of the tiff files, the Mamiya pic is somewhat less noisy than the Pentax. Of course, even after cropping, it's a much larger file, generated by a much larger sensor. T

Re: GESO: playing in the studio

Yes, the support system is great. You can bring the camera down to ground level and pull it in close enough for macro. I want one. I suspect the 645D is going to alter the pricing structure of MF. Marc seems to think that my happen as well. He says that a lot of pro shooters have an eye out

Re: GESO: playing in the studio

I can't imagine why the 645D wouldn't surface. It's in the pipeline, and a lot of well-connected people consider it a foregone conclusion. Pentax now has more resources than they ever did. This camera will make a statement. I know from your past comments that you weren't expecting a camera

Re: GESO: playing in the studio

The largest camera chain in he UK is called Jessops. At the Isle of Man branch over Christmas they had four DSLRs in the window. One was a Canon, the others were Pentax. You had to go inside to see a Nikon. John On Sat, 30 Dec 2006 04:49:43 -, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot
