stunsworth Posted January 24, 2007 Share #22 Posted January 24, 2007 I am really looking forward to running down Steve U's battery on my SD card on Sunday... I've ordered a second battery just for the occasion :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Ate Posted January 24, 2007 Share #24 Posted January 24, 2007 A DMR can... Impressive, I didn't know that. I expected it might stop at 5 at most in a single frame. I am talking Zones 2 through to 10 by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted January 24, 2007 Share #25 Posted January 24, 2007 If digital is so flash....then how come every single enduring and recognizably iconic image originated from a strip of film? Digitals stong point is wrapping todays fish and chips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted January 24, 2007 Share #26 Posted January 24, 2007 ?Record a scene with 9 stops of light. One day people will twig that not recording nine stops is as affective as lens depth of field selecting up one part of an image and rendering out another. I mean everyone rabbits on about bokah, bokeh? Whatever the word. Everyone buys Leica lenses for their subtle rendering....and yet...we want perfect exposure across the frame so we can see the background clutter? OK I must be missing something. Must remember to shorten my lens and shoot f/16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I must be missing something. Must remember to shorten my lens and shoot f/16 Rob, People twigged it 60 years ago. The question was "What film can do that digital can't" and the answer given was logical. The need to do it, or the skill required is quite separate. Andy, can you point me to any document that supports the DMR 9 stop capability. Digital devoid of burnt-out highlights is worthy of a closer look.

No prob. I have to be careful as I've been awarded a yellow card. The M8 users will produce fantastic images in the years to come no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvaliquette Posted January 25, 2007 Share #31 Posted January 25, 2007 Everyone: There may be something in the way the OOF areas are rendered on film or with 1s and 0s. The issue of DOF and image captor size was covered in a recent issue of LFI. In a nut shell, the smaller the captor, the greater the DOF, even at the same aperture and equivalent focal length. Because of the larger "captor" that film is, the DOF will be reduced, leading to a different "bokeh". By all means, if you can, go read that LFI article. I found it enlightening.
