i am currently shooting Linhof 6x12 using Velvia 50. i have no doubt the resolution generated by the P45 back would rival 4x 5 or even 8x10inch film( velvia) but my concern is will the RGB digital capture of the P45 match the rich vibrant colours of Velvia and more importantly the blues and greens of landscape scenes. i shoot golf courses specifically. i have seen the huge scans made by Betterlight scanbacks and with a bit of saturation tweaking and colour work in photoshop, have to say that it compares with Velvia and must admit the resolution, even when comparing Linhof 6x12 velvia ( Schneider lenses) is far superior on the Betterlight scanback.
The only problem with the Betterlight system is that its impractical as you need to be absolutely still - this does not work for me.
i have a Canon EOS 1DMK11 and the colours no where near rival Velvia no matter what work you do in photoshop. Does the RGB instant capture of the Phase One P45 rival that of the Betterlight systems.
its clear for studio work and architectural type work where you are not working with earthy colours, the Phase One is in a league of its own, but the big question is can it handle the earthy colours of landscape like velvia at those critical shooting times???
