12 Reasons Why I Use Large Format Photography in 2014

Great place for LF stuff (including lenses) www.catlabs.info
This list is a little old so ignore the prices but it is very comprehensive www.largeformatphotography.info/lenses/LF4x5in.html
This list is a little more up to date, and features some other intersting info about large format lenses www.ebonycamera.com/articles/lenses.html
Main things to remember when buying are to make sure that:
  • The glass is clean and has no fungus.
  • The lens is in a shutter that does not stick and works well (accurate speeds etc).
  • The lens filter ring has no dents on it.
In all honesty you can't go far wrong getting any Schneider, Rodenstock, Fuji or Nikon Large format lens. As long as it is between 75-300mm, in good condition and mounted on a Linhof/Technika style lens board, it will be a fantastic place to start.

Fuji X100S - skoro geniální foťák

 

Půl roku bez zrcadla


Mám díky Fuji lepší fotky?

Ne, dobrou fotku nedělá technika, ta ji může jen limitovat nebo podpořit, resp. někdy dokonce umožnit. Ale mám kvalitnější fotky a občas mi Fuji skutečně umožní vyfotit to, co jsem dříve nemohl. Kombinace skvělých objektivů a X-Trans snímače je dokonalá a rozdíl v kvalitě je skutečně vidět...

Adobe about LR:

"The Spot Removal Tool and Local Corrections Brush are not designed for hundreds to thousands of corrections.
If your image contains many (hundreds) of localized adjustments, consider using a pixel-based editing application such as Affinity Photo or Photoshop for that level of correction..."





Adobe invest the most in marketing lies or buy or destroy other companies...
they have monopoly only thanks to lobby and copyright

Discussion BEST: Capture One Pro 7.2.2 (48) + DXO Optics Pro 9.5 (46)

There is really not a lot to choose between these two. If you want the ultimate in noise reduction and lens correction then DXO is probably the better choice; if you want superb tools, local adjustments and focus on colour then Capture One Pro would be my pick. This all explains why, traditionally, DXO is favoured by architectural photographers and
Capture One Pro by fashion photographers.

The landscape photographer requires a bit of both, but for me, Capture One Pro delivers perfectly good lens correction and key-stoning and I very rarely shoot at high ISO and hence have modest noise reduction requirements. Whilst it is necessary to keep an eye on its defaults, which supply overly aggressive luminance noise reduction and sharpening, it is such a pleasure to edit images in that it wins for me. DXO, for want of a better expression, ‘lacks soul’, and using it makes me feel like I’m engaged more in a science project than an artistic endeavour.

Adobe Lightroom - I never buy again!


Why Adobe ask me again and again without any improvement?  I think that your team know Lightroom problems very well! Maybe marketing department dominate much more then feedback from your customers!
But if you really don't know how develop better sw  you can learn from DXO Optics Pro  or  from Capture One Pro Imaging Software Zoner Photo Studio X etc.
Btw: I never! never buy any Adobe subscription product! NEVER!
