I put appart the behavior point. I consider, whatever the job, the behavior should always be faultless. If not : fired !
So in your case, i would have fired them too ... and with some pleasure :D
For the rest, i put it in the "that will fit best for any of your request".
i agree about the setups workflow : you use all the time Nikon to don't have to change setting in order to always get the same skin tones, or Canon in order to have lens distorsion correction always on when processing.
I got well all that.
My points is that asking for a FF (and apprently don't know what it implied) and not a brand means that the person doing the interview is not in the perspective of workflow but just reputation of supposed advantage of a FF over any other kind of DSLR.
My whole point is about the fact that the interviewer probably don't know anything about photography and just need the final result (without even knowing what it should look like, which is in fact not a problem at all) . Fact is asking for FF show that the Canikon marketing around FF is working incredibely well about convincing people that FF is the ultimate photo tool to get. |

You don't get me, and i didn't express my self the best way possible.
It's about hiring seomone that will be the best for a task, and that will fit best for any of your request to get what you consider to be the best final result you wish for.
Of course you won't get Karl Lagarsfeld for sport photography (albeit the result could be fun), nor get David Burnett for some product shots of cupcakes.
They might be the best among the best in fashion and phoography, they probably won't fit to your expectations.
In fact, maybe not ! i stopped by a huge ad on a highway once. maybe 15m x 20m. The "pixel" of the picture were big. In fact it was the size of a big fist, so around 10cm each. Printed with CMYK gammut.
The biggest 1500x2000 pixel print i've ever seen :lol:

it wasn't about brand, it was just about FF.
I get those valid points, but if they had asked "what brand is your gear" it would be ok and understandable, but here it seems to be only "is your body FF ?"
for "interior" shooting + the UWA they asked for i bet it was for real estate photography, where you use tripod (at least to do HDR when required).
So for me the low noise question isn't one : all DSLR have clean 100 or 200 iso nowadays, FF or not.
i don't think it's very important here, for this peculiar experience. Moreover i can't tell, i've never touch any of those except 5D2 which wasn't impressive about building.
To pretend to a job with APS-C DSLR where the employer ask for FF are those who are already in the photo business and know that their portfolio will reflect their value.
As you said it's a filter, but probably just to discourage the "not serious" pretender.

that's exactly why a APS-C is better for interior / estate pictures : rooms will look bigger on the picture than in reality, it will make potential buyer want to see in real, and that's the first step to brings people to buy something.
And so far, i think that there is no more a real gap between APS-C lenses and FF lenses in quality.
the DA 15 is a perfect exemple : it as very few distortion, as much as the Canon 24/1,4, less than most of 20mm (Nikon, Voigt and Zeiss).
On the other area, it's as good as the other.
So i don't really see the point of FF is better than APS-C in this domain. And i don't speak about the DOF ...

as my grand Pa' often says : "back in the days, no one matter about the camera as long as the job's done, and you get paid".
So tell them that : i will use my current gear to do some pictures and show you what i can do with it. If after that, that's not enought ... well, go find other job, as you said.
Rent a 12-24 or a 10-20 and work with it.
