jcs Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 5DSR vs. Phase One: In the end he says he might be able to replace his Phase One with the 5DSR (but will have to see). Thus not a huge difference in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of math or plots, the real proof is real world tests, where the cameras are set up properly for equivalence. The real proof comes from looking at an image and seeing the difference, I went out and found the math proof just to be shure it wasn't just because medium format lenses are better/different.

What math proof? You posted a random 3D plot with no equations or description. How about real-world proof (again, must shoot with equivalence set ups and same exact shot in controlled conditions. Winging it here won't work)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't seem to understand, I found the proof for something that was puzzling me, and I find it hilarious how people can't see the difference and act up all smart, that's the reason I don't share the proof.

No, it's not to mess with people, I've been telling people openly and it good faith, large format is the way. But there are some people who feel attacked/threatened by the idea of it. That's totally ridiculous. There even was this guy who made fake tests, with the same camera with the same fucking shot, and saying it was all different sized sensors ergo there is no difference.

He belongs in a straight jacket just like me, because he still has not recovered from realizing he is not the brand Nikor and is in fact his old name that starts with an A. Playfully teasing you Nikkor. Yeah but tease me with something sort of interesting, not about my alter ego but about cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you feel that MF is the way, why not contribute helpful info and post real-world images (with cameras set up for proper equivalence) showing how you feel MF is superior to FF (and S35 etc.)?

I will for shure, I just need some time to develop the rolls that I have building up, but seriously JCS, go onto ebay and buy a mamiya rz67 or something similar, shoot some stuff with it, and come back.

Looks like something I could create on my iPhone along with Snapseed. DOF does look odd. As a general rule we're not used to seeing relatively wide shots from a distance that provide such shallow dof, and refined in focus areas. view in full size and you;ll see the point of focus was the text on the boat. makes the front of the boat jump out. I'm happy to send the mos file from the camera if you want proof that no added blur was applied! every person who sees this image asks what lens was used. I always feel bad trying to explain that no matter how much they spend on a lens for a full frame dslr they'll never be able to replicate the dof rolloff and fov.

It's selfexplanatory. I'd rent or buy a Phase One- as noted earlier in this thread I think it's the best camera available right now, though not because it's medium format-sized. I know a lot of people don't like math, however the equivalence math is very simple (basic linear math- can be done with a calculator), I've done the tests, others have as well, and sensor size by itself doesn't do anything magical: FF vs. S35 or MF vs. FF. Equivalence really needs very similar lens designs for both cameras for such tests. For example, Cooke vs Leica vs Zeiss vs Canon for Super35 produce very different looks. Clearly the sensor size isn't changing- the optics account for the differences. If you feel that the math is wrong and all the links and tests I posted are invalid, you can provide counter proof with links or your own tests. Asking me to prove your point isn't how it's done via the scientific method- the burden of proof is up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know, the way I see it is that if you can't see the difference, why bother? The mamiya is gigantic, and if you don't get any pleasure out of it, it's just a pain in the ass. The phase one is just a slight crop of 645, 645 isn't that exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Full frame https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7697/27662722381_982d10fc99_o.jpg APS-C + SB Ultra https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7272/27737331565_423e3503be_o.jpg now I'm gonna say that in order to view the differences you should download the full size files, and bring them into photoshop so you can flip from one layer to another. the differences wont be apparent without. The main thing is overall image quality. shorter focal lengths just don;t deliver the same refined in focus areas - the point of focus on the aps-c shot is drastically harmed by the purple fringing. Since the in focus area is less refined than the ratio between the in focus areas and the defocused area is greater- providing a greater level of 3d pop. . but look at the defocus. background looks about the same level of blur, but the blur level on the lens cap (circled) shows that the rolloff is different. it's slight, but the difference is there. this difference in rolloff is as far as I am aware dictated by circle of confusion of the different formats. Lets assume we replaced the lens in shot with a human face, more of the face will be in focus with the full frame sensor area - due to the rolloff. from the tip of the nose to the ears, the overall perceived rendering will show the entire overall face to be more in focus than with a wider lens. the overall background blur will be the same, but the distances close to the point of focus will have a deeper useable dof. The point I'm making is that physics and available lenses give larger sensors the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Your comparison only shows that speedboosters aren't perfect, but they preserve the larger format quality of dof (the size of the blur doesn't change in size, except for some "field curvature?") Personally I can't wait for a 645 mirrorless, just to order a custom speedbooster (because Biran Cardwell doesn't seem to see the importance of his own invention beside of giving m43 cheap fast lens options) to put pentax67 and hasselblad lenses on it and enjoy the ideal format. (larger formats are too perfect for my taste) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically a sigma 35/1.4 will meet or exceed, but at the cost of losing all sense of soul and character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all agree with that point- what we can do in the real world with available equipment is all the really matters vs. math and theory. If there was a business reason to use a Phase One, I'd use one. Their cameras systems are top notch (design, usability, and final image quality). Currently the 5D3 and 1DX II with fast lenses (especially the 85mm 1.2L and 135mm F2L) can create crazy shallow DOF (sometimes too shallow to be usable wide open). Here's a test many don't realize they can try with any camera to better understand equivalence. Shoot with the same lens, change settings, then crop in post (images 3 and 4 from: http://brightland.com/w/the-full-frame-look-is-a-myth-heres-how-to-prove-it-for-yourself/ ) Full Frame Super 35 (cropped in post- same lens) Is there a difference? Sure, but so minor that the average person (client etc.) won't ever notice the difference. You can do this test with your MF camera, and crop to FF! Since you are using the exact same lens, only changing camera settings and cropping in post, lens and sensor technology will be identical. The only thing changing is effective sensor size. Try it! Thus unless a client could clearly see the difference, why would a business invest in MF bodies and lenses? At the ultra high end, it's more marketing/appearances, and perhaps most importantly, Phase One for example does produce the highest megapixel professional/studio cameras(?) along with what looks like the best processing currently available. As noted in the link posted in this thread, the 50Mpixel 5DSR is very similar in quality to the 50Mpixel Phase One for ultimate image quality.

I have provided evidence from my own work and made a good faith effort to find any online images or other evidence that shows that MF provides something not possible with FF- I'm seeking truth, wherever it may lead. You have provided only words with nothing to back them up and no effort to do any actual work. The burden of proof is on you to prove that MF is in any way better than FF due to sensor size alone.
