LF Clarification

[Vaughn]

I had not seen this. I guess my Large Format Digital scan back is really not large format as it crops a slightly smaller image. ...

We would also consider a digital back with a nominal sensor size of 4"x5" or larger to be LF, as well, regardless of technology.

"Crops a slightly smaller image" sounds like "nominal sensor size of 4"x5". I assumed you meant cropped 4x5, sorry if I am incorrect.

No it is 3X4 inches. Funny though, because I just produced a product shot on 8X10 sheet / 4x5 sheet and with the Betterlight. Guess which one the client chose because of res / colour accuracy and gradation of tone. Hint, it wasn't film...

I disagree.

Why not make the definition so that it includes cameras that have camera movements? This would then expand to 6x9 view cameras. Basically this would also exclude large roll formats like 612 and 617 unless they were taken on a view camera with movements.
Then images shot with a 45 view camera with a 612 or a 617 roll back would qualify.

I agree with Bob, and if you don't then maybe you need to go through all of the posts from the beginning and move all the [Not quite LF posts and threads] somewhere else...

BIG JOB I would think!

And if you don't then lots of confusion...especially with newcomers.
My last post comparing a few soft focus lenses was done with My Betterlight.

Even the older Post is Betterlight still the standard would need to be moved.

Wow.

166 posts and we are still beating the horse about what is and is not Large Format.

I got it after reading the very first post by Mr. Barker.

just to go back a few posts.

Please remove every post that I have ever made.
Like Frank Petrono I am gone.
I will use my Large format Scan Back and make better images. Elswwere

The thread did wonders for my insomnia.

You can share those image in the 'other' category, and of course continue to commune with the rest of us. Totally up to you, of course.
If you leave, I hope you find a suitable replacement for the LFPF.

And that is all we can really hope for -- to make better images!

Very sorry to see you go.

What comes to mind is the great break-up song by Mindy McCready, " A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do".

Yes make better images.

I can take solace in that the Betterlight does make better images.

So do take off ALL posts...
