I find it interesting, but not LF.

Don't stop!
You bring up a good point. Let's think about it.

  1. The image goes through the lens, appears on a 4x5 sheet of ground glass. Then travels to another lens, and appears on a DSLR chip where it's recorded to digital format.
  2. Let's say I put film in my camera. The image travels through the lens and hits the film. I develop the film and place it on a scanner where it's recorded to digital format.


The depth of field, the lighting, the focal point, are identical in each image. The resolution, grain, contrast, & quality are different, but the image is the same.

So I would call it LF photography. It's a 4x5 image.
