SHOW - Shots in 65:24 format (Xpan)

Not a landscape like most of the others, but I thought it did kinda fit the subject. Wish the environment had been a little classier. ^^;;

Sigma fp, Minolta MD 24/2.8


And a couple more in line with the others:

The following is rather strange, this is from 2013 in which I can't remember knowing about 65:24 unless it was a preset crop in Lightroom? Anyway this is Carrickfergus castle, N Ireland. Pentax A28 f2.8 on APSC (42mm eq) taken from the other pier. It's too much of a coincidence that it was a random crop but I must have liked the aspect ratio.

A nice shot Simon. Not sure it's exactly 65:24, but it's close. I really think this wide format works for a lot of shots. It's really hard in portrait orientation though.

1920/710 = 2.70422535
65/24 = 2.70833333

Don't tell me you seen this visually :)

Are the other 65/24 examples exact? :cool:
 
I think this format is excellent for humungous size prints if you can afford to get them done and have the wall space.

I think I'll be doing more panoramic stitching rather than HR or maybe both for a single image.

Spotted it straight away ;)
 
Embrace the flare, portrait photographers love it. Get a Lumilux f0.95 without lens coatings :D Really nice sunstar but I've yet to see any L-mount come close to the Pentax DA15 f4 for those famous bursts, saying that I owned the HD version with round blades which killed the unique bursts.

Matt Osborne has an excellent channel on YouTube, a legacy lens fanatic, mostly Leica but has used quite a few L-mount lenses after he bought a S5. He's a portrait photographer but by far the most interesting channel covering legacy and some modern equipment also. He tested several Sigma Contemporary lenses for L-mount which I'm quite intested in, maybe moreso than the Lumix primes and I've seen used C lenses at bargain prices on Ebay.

Nice - creative use of lens flare!

I'm a fan of cool flares when they're wanted but this is a dull, unpleasant flare. Maybe in lens design the better they are at resisting flare the uglier flare is when it does appear.

So to embrace the flare you really need a lens that also embraces the flare.
 
In this video the youtuber (Ben Staley) uses a Lumix S5IIx and a Voigtländer 35mm 1.2 (Leica M mount with the Metabones M to L adapter) to create nice panoramic 65:24 x-pan images:



In his website is possible to see the images:

Very interesting. He's local but I can't quite figure out where he shot this walk. But I did track him down, Ben Staley, a Lumix Ambassador. He has more stuff on his YouTube "Adventure & Art". He goes all over and he did a piece in Alaska with the G9II and some hand held telephoto. Right down my alley, because I love Alaska and I'm really liking the capability of the G9II with telephoto. And he shoots the S5IIx, here is "3 Days in NYC with the S5IIx". It's hard to beat that combination of the S5IIx and the G9II.
 
A couple of 65:24 B/W shots taken with the S5 OG and the 14-28mm Lumix on the border between Austria and Germany. The weather is very cloudy, but I think the L Monochrome D profile applied in LR could work:
