Thanks, I always wanted to see a sample image of an MF camera.

Yes the detail is amazing. If I wanted to I bet I can count every lash in her eyes.

I know its not the point but that is too much detail for a portraits. She is kinda "hairy".

Amazing for a single shot.

Couldn't be better for showing off the camera resolution... hehe

Portrait software vendors must love this one. Instant market.

Wow, that is really something viewed 100%! But is it actually "too much information" considering how one can count just about every facial hair, moustache and all!

**Ash** · 10-30-2009, 04:37 PM

That is spectacular detail.
Can there really ever be too much detail?
Granted we're all not going to be producing billboards or photo banners, but it's a joy to see them larger than life...

If I took a photo showing face hair like that of my girlfriend she would kill me.

Better not to buy the camera.

All the best,

Have you found any other sample? I would love to see a landscape shot.

The picture is razor sharp.

Ironic...

Cute and furry .... qualities I've always admired in cats, not women.

Looks like and amazing camera and I'm sure there is a good practical application for it somewhere but portraiture isn't its forte.
