So the diagonal or normal lens for that format is a measly 7.70mm's. The format is 6.16mm by 4.62mm. Its no wonder thy are impressed by the images quality of a sensor hugely bigger which even a 4/3's is let alone a 1.5 crop or no crop. Can it all be about those micro depth of field shots? I doubt its all about that. That's a nice accent of a larger format. A limited dof option. Mainly its about image format capture size. I've been looking it up. Acreage like its always been size day one of still and motion picture photography. Area. And they are willing to go thought rube Goldberg contraptions to get it. Also there is the cost feasibility factor. They can put tougher a system for seven grand not forty grand. And even after spending 40 grand it would be a smaller format. Other than the awkwardness its win win. Less money for more acreage. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Ken Carney <kcarney1 at cox.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:13:46 -0600 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Two pro video guys using Canon DSLR to shoot Art > Opening > > Here is the video I recall: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WixL4zuNceI&feature=related > > Not an expert or even having used video yet. > > Ken > > On 2/24/2012 7:48 PM, Richard Man wrote: >> dSLR has it because the digicam has it and the amateurs demand it.
