james.liam Posted May 21, 2014 Share #181 Posted May 21, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Which made me wonder, as I had no issues up to 560 mm…. (and did not shoot longer.) He had issues with the 90 AA, 100 Makro APO and I believe the 180 Elmarit APO handheld. None on a weighted tripod. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hi james.liam, Take a look here Would you upgrade to M(360) for $9000. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
woorob Posted May 22, 2014 Share #182 Posted May 22, 2014 Every increase in MP resolution, on every digital camera I have owned, has always resulted in better IQ, in both prints and elsewhere. So I can't see any reason at all not to expect more MP in the next M, and in fact will not buy the next M unless it is ~ 36 MP or better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 22, 2014 Share #183 Posted May 22, 2014 Hmmm...That is not what M8 owners claim vs, M9 and M240.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 22, 2014 Share #184 Posted May 22, 2014 He had issues with the 90 AA, 100 Makro APO and I believe the 180 Elmarit APO handheld. None on a weighted tripod. Matter of shooting technique? I cannot see any resolution loss on my 280 plus 1.4x extender when shot at reasonable shutterspeeds. At least nothing different from using film or an M8 with similat focal lengths. Of course one needs stuff like chest pod, beanbag etc - but that goes for any camera.

Nick_S Posted May 22, 2014 Share #185 Posted May 22, 2014 At this point in digital photography more megapixels within a given format such as 24x36mm does not equate to higher quality, nor better resolution, or better anything. It is better for digital enthusiasts to look forward to far superior monitors and printers that can exploit their dream megapixels. Such monitors and printers do not exist today, and those of marginal requisites are so far from public affordability that they well as well not exist. ... I agree, we have enough pixels. Now UltraHD 4k TVs are have hit the market and 8k are being prototyped, I look forward to photographic quality monitors with a decent colour gamut that can match the resolution of our camera sensors, preferably without taking up a whole wall (i.e, utilizing a higher density display) -- no more zooming in to 100% magnification or decontextualized pixel peeping. For black and white viewing, proofing etc., I would like to have a 300 dpi e-ink display with 256 levels of grey with a decent contrast ratio and range of viewing angles.

jaapv Posted May 22, 2014 Share #186 Posted May 22, 2014 Well, the colour gamut is OK with high-end monitors rendering (nearly) full Adobe RGB. A finer pixel structure with the attendant higher resolution would be welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such monitors and printers do not exist today, and those of marginal requisites are so far from public affordability that they well as well not exist. I agree that it's all about the total workflow. Unfortunately, in the printer realm, Epson is now the gorilla and lacks sufficient competition to keep pushing print boundaries IMO. Their product release cycle seems to have slowed, and production of the 4900 was reportedly held up due to significant clog issues. I'll add editing software to the chain, as every major iteration of LR, for instance (especially versions with new processing engine), improved my prints as much if not more than a lens or camera switch. Couple that with improved papers, and in some cases inks, and one doesn't need camera/lens 'upgrades' for continually improved print results.
