biglouis Posted April 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) You make up your own mind, looks like it to me, or maybe a LX3. Either way a great bit of photography reporting. BBC NEWS | UK | The men who photograph Britain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Hi biglouis, Take a look here Joe Cornish using a D-LUX 4 with filter attachement?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
nemeng Posted April 15, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 15, 2009 D-LUX 4 or LX3, either way it is only apparently used for proofing. You'll notice that the real work is done by ***FILM*** 4x5's for both photographers :?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbretteville Posted April 16, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 16, 2009 It really does look like an LX3 or a D-Lux 4. The the strap lug on the left fits in colour and location, the hot shoe pin out fits and the fact that there is a strap lug, a hot shoe and filters mounted on such a small camera is a strong indicator. The lettering on the top left of the camera indicate an LX3, the lettering on a D-Lux 4 is a lot less pronounced. - Carl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted April 16, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 16, 2009 I can't see a red dot below the shutter release so it doesn't appear to me to be a D-Lux 4. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted April 17, 2009 Share #7 Posted April 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was lucky enough to get a ticket to Joe's recent lecture at Southampton and he mentioned his use of a digital compact in lieu of a polaroid slide used in the past for getting the filtration, exposures etc proofed in advance of taking the real shot on 5x4 film. Interestingly he usually only goes out to take one shot....and it is good enough to keep! In fact there are accessories for the D-Lux-4 and LX3 to use polariser and virtually any other type of filter! In that sense it is a miniature "system" camera.

Had a look at the URL and noticed the following couple of paragraphs at the bottom of the page: I have not given up film. I still shoot 5x4 with my Ebony as I still think the transparency is a thing of wonder and beauty to behold. [... snip] At the moment I can use the P45+ on my Ebony (where it effectively becomes a 'long lens'), on my Hasselblad 503, and on a Horseman SWD. While this does make it terrifically versatile, none of these setups is a perfect solution for the landscape photographer. Very soon Linhof should be making their new camera available and when that happens the P45+ will truly come of age for me. It is an exciting prospect. The video showed him setting up and using a Linhof, sans any kind of digital back (which would have been too good as eye-candy to ignore). Add his remarks above and I think I can safely say he did not use MF digital IN THE VIDEO. Ergo my original remarks about shooting onto film :?)

Rolo Posted April 19, 2009 Share #10 Posted April 19, 2009 I saw the video and thought it was a Canon G10 .... but ?? Just read a Flickr discussion by a contributor who went to a recent JC talk. He writes: "He takes a compact Panny with him everywhere and showed an example of using it as a visualising tool, then showed the full 5 x 4 shot. " Which presumeably means a Panasonic with a Leica lens. Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I do the same thing when I'm out with my 8x10 Toyo, except I use my Digilux 2 and an Epson viewer. With 8x10 film and processing running ~$13/image these days, I really try to make every shot count. When I started this, I'd hoped I could use the D2 to help me determine the correct exposure as well, but the differences in dynamic range between film and digital mean this only works in fairly flat lighting, which is something I don't see too often here in Arizona.

Simon Harris Posted April 19, 2009 Share #13 Posted April 19, 2009 In this month's Photography Monthly (UK), Joe lists the LX3 as part of his kit. More importantly, I thought this short video was very interesting in showing just how ordinary scenes are turned into fantastic landscape images, it's inspired me!
