Especially this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheim.../File:Tilt-len s_photo_of_model_train.jpg I'm surprised this isn't used more often. It's used more often that you might think, and you'll find examples of both tilt (tipping the lens up or down) and swing (turning it left or right) as with the train or ST:TNG still if you know what to look for. Tilt is often used for purely creative effects or extreme depth of field for long-distance shots, swing is mostly used for keeping two characters (or whatever) in sharp focus like this is really the only usage I've noticed for swing. Swing is a pretty good solution for scenarios where the director wants a deep depth of field but lighting conditions mean high ISOs and/or wide apertures. The limiting factor is more the camera used and what mount options are available as realistically, you need Canon EF or Nikon F mount, although there are a few other options for TS-E/PC lenses. Now that DSLR lenses are being used more for broadcast video the options for tilt/shift lenses have gone up and I expect to see much more usage. In the days of plate and cut-film cameras, most such cameras had the ability to employ a number of such adjustments. Only the more expensive 'technical' cameras offered the full range. See for example https://s23527.pcdn.co/wp-content/up...hnical_large_f ormat-1.jpg.optimal.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/y72s28qo I remember them, when we had a proper photographer at the research labs. How much for a full plate sensor though! I don't know about full plate, but how about this? http://largesense.com/files/1514/9071/3222/Banner1e.jpg 7.5MP? Not particularly good, or am I missing something? Yup, you are missing something. That is 75-micron pixel size, not 75MP. I looked up "8 x 10 digital resolution", which google says is 2400x3000 pixels. However, the actual photo resolution is 12 MP @ 3888 x 3072, and it is B&W only, and you will get images that only a large area sensor can produce. ...and it only costs $106,000 without a lens. What's so good about a large sensor? Or maybe they don't lie about the MP like a lot of cameras - my Fuji 10MP is only capable of about 2.5MP. Telling it to give out 10MP doesn't increase the image quality - either they used a duff lens or the sensor isn't 10MP and they're interpolating. http://largesense.com/gallery/ http://largesense.com/products/8x10-large-format-digital-back-ls911/ https://youtu.be/CgpioaDb3Fs |

What's so good about a large sensor? better image quality, with less noise and/or more pixels. Or maybe they don't lie about the MP like a lot of cameras none do. lying about the specs is illegal. - my Fuji 10MP is only capable of about 2.5MP. false. Telling it to give out 10MP doesn't increase the image quality - either they used a duff lens or the sensor isn't 10MP and they're interpolating. neither. the lens has nothing to do with how many megapixels the sensor has and it's not interpolated up from 2.5mp. this was already explained to you several times in another thread and i'm sure you'll argue about it yet again. |
