![]() To start, I’ll admit that had I really put forth effort to try to mimic film with my digital shots I think the comparison would have been much harder between the Mamiya and the Sony. Even for a landscape photographer, drastically different scenes could present their own challenges would potentially better highlight the differences (or lack thereof) between the different cameras. For a portrait photographer, the comparisons I’ve made would be of limited to no utility. That said, I only own one digital camera, and my Nikon 28mm is an exceptionally sharp lens and the widest good lens that I own.īeyond the limitations presented by the choice of cameras and film stock, I would like to also acknowledge that all of my comparisons are made on landscapes only in a snowy Hocking Hills. In addition to the choice of film stock and film format as ways to get substantially different results, the specific digital camera and lens used could also substantially alter the results of a comparison. In addition, even a move from Portra 400 to Ektar, another color negative film, would have resulted in better sharpness and more saturated colors. As you may recall from a previous article outlining the different types of film, slide film would offer substantially more clarity and more vibrancy but suffers from a much-reduced dynamic range. In addition, the choice of the film itself can have a large impact on the final results. That is, the choice of format (e.g., 645, 6圆, 6x7, etc…) would have a pronounced impact on the perceived sharpness of an image. There are, of course, limitations to any comparison like this - most notably would be with the representation in the film category. In addition, if you’ve been looking at the images closely, you’ve probably noticed that while Camera A had sufficient clarity for a small print, the resolution is nowhere close to that of Camera C, which means, you guessed it, Camera C is the Sony and Camera A is my iPhone. For film enthusiasts, the tones of the Portra series are pretty hard to mistake. So, do you think you know which camera is which? If you’re at all familiar with Portra 400, you have probably guessed that Camera B is the Mamiya RZ67 loaded up with Portra 400. If I were to be really picky, I may say that the edge goes to Camera B where the shadows seem to have kept more detail. Between Cameras B and C, the color palette is different but overall, they both seemed to perform well. Camera A really struggled with this photo as the shadows got quite muddy and just about all of the details south of the bottom of the trees are also quite muddy. In addition, the cave itself is quite enormous and looks beautiful after a fresh coat of snow. ![]()
