Support S!
After seeing the IQ 40MP and above DB, I am really stunned by the picture quality, and tbh it is the best picture you can get as a user!
I have considered DB with 1) Techno 2)Alpa or 3)Mamiya DF and end up choosing S system which I love it a lot.
The following are a few personal issues I didn't pick the above:
1) Techno: The focusing ground glass, unlike 4x5, is merely 645 size which a loupe pretty much covers it, that make it hard for me to focus. Beside I am still deep into 4x5, having pretty much the same focusing system for 4x5 and DB troubles me, maybe one day when I retire 4x5 I will go this route.
2) Alpa: Well-known well made precision camera, but the focusing system is not that precise to me, having to use laser meter to measure distance and use hyper focusing troubles me, especially in natural scene where the distance is over 20m, it's ok for wide angle but I see tele-lens would be an issue. Of course there is an app for calculating the precious movement needed but I have yet to see my friends dig it.
3) Mamiya DF: SLR system well S is smaller and lighter, enough said.
To me S is:
1) Versatile, can be serious shooting put it on tripod. And outcome picture quality does not loose much to DB, if not same. It can also be casual, handheld, which can be hardly performed using DB, doable, but hey lighter smaller means easier when handheld.
2) Lighter and smaller, when handheld, than DB, or even 645D, H system. These systems all have their own advantage but lighter and smaller while maintaining on par PQ is what attracted me. I recently found out its about same weight and size as Canon 1DX.
3) Easy to use, the focusing is reasonable fast and spot on which saves me time on focusing than using DB system.
4) Great on picture, if you didn't know, we tested S lens vs H and 645D lens, S lens out win the others in every range.
5) Durable, both the system and the battery, a fully charged battery lasted me 2 days on average in Iceland, for one scene I put my new S just one ballhead above on the sand, a wave came covering up the camera and filters etc. The filters need to be dried while the ballhead became rusted (found out after my return), the camera (mounted with S24 lens) is like nothing happened. I would not consider doing it if I am using other DB or MF digital system.
5) Fun, I mean it can mount almost any lens (that can cover it), be it Hassel V or HH, Contax 645, Mamiya etc due to it's shortest flange distance in MF digital camera.
6) Cheap, I can mount cheap cheap Mamiya lens on it, I have to confess I am cheap and I do own a couple old Mamiya lenses cost about 1K each. LOL But they do give good pictures on the S.
With the above said, I think choosing a camera system is very personal, my friends that use DB on Techno and Alpa take awesome pictures and they love it very much. These camera systems are great! But my personal choice based on the above makes me stick with S.
To answer Jason ching question, IMO, lighter than H means lesser chance for blurred picture when handheld, for range shorter than 70 I have no issue using 1/30s, for longer range I use the inverted timing and give it a little extra speed for it's high resolution, eg 180, I would use 1/250s, being able to use ISO as high as 1600 on the new S, and 1250 on the S2P, I had no blurring issue unless lighting is very critical.
For the mirror lockup, the S can be setup in a way it takes every shot with mirror pre-lock-up, that it locks up mirror first and another press release the shutter and the mirror (or just press and hold the shutter button for pre-lock-up and then release after a very shor delay to minimize mirror lock-up vibration), this can be set-up by 3 button presses.
Enough said just some shots I like:
S24 Lens (tripod):
Cheap Mamiya 120 Macro Lens F5.6 (handheld):
Cheap Mamiya 120 Macro Lens F11 1:1 Macro shot without cropping (handheld):
