More film vs digital
Nikon F5 versus Nikon D700, video. They make huge blowups of pretty much the same picture, made on film and on digital. (We're talking big prints here, they took two days to make.)
Cat suits are hot. Once, the doorbell rang late at night, and it was the nice young lady who lived in an _opgang_ around the corner. She'd been to a party, was in a cat suit, and wanted "a word with me", in her words.
Interesting to watch. Not sure it's a fair test of film, which can be much better as lower ISOs and in larger formats. The film in this test also had to be scanned before it was printed. So really this test is only valid for this specific task of making giant bedsheets.
I'd be curious to see a pair of 8x10s. But really just out of interest and it would make for dull telly.
VERY COOL! I'm feeling a LOT better about going digital, now! lol!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING printers! I wouldn't mind having a cat suit like that! ;-)
