Great stuff Kevin. I know the difference, I shoot 6 years on medium format with film.
But: too slow, too short glass, too expencive. The new 5DII is a big challenger for medium format.
It keeps beeing suspenseful.

Hi Kev
You must be chuffed to bits with the outcome, detail is simply outstanding especially at that crop factor & with the kit you brought along.
For me, it was a pleasure to be able to with you & Tom W.
That is a stunning amount of detail for a crop of that size. Could possibly have used a touch more depth of field as the corner of the eye looks as if it has dropped focus. It must be superb to use for landscapes.

6 repliesI haven't been out and about much lately, which as been driving me crazy!!!
So i had the chance to go visit Vince at the Barn Owl Centre with Tom W and take along some kit which you wouldn't normally use for wildlife.
This is a small crop from the file which i've included, which was also a crop from full frame (about a 75% crop at 72Mb).
The feather detail is amazing and is evan better in the finished Tiff!!
Just shows how good medium format glass can be.
