...the photographic equivalent of a reverse baseball cap

These are terrific. Love the idea of showing the animal's context more honestly. I like No More Grass, Fenced and Bored the best.

Felt a lot longer though lol. When Pentax users start producing such cringeworthy videos I know it'll be time to switch brands...

To me they look good, because they aren't as sharpened as 100% DSLR cropped jpegs. Perhaps you'd want to sharpen the finished product before printing.

I've seen 6x7 shots with fairly wide lenses at f2.8 where the dof looks suprisingly narrow, giving the effect of looking at a miniature scene greatly magnified. I'm sure this is because of the larger size of the film compared to 35mm so I would expect similar results going from apsc to a MF sensor. I guess the effect could be replicated on apsc but not at normal apertures or wider focal lengths.

Well I took this shot today with the trusty 50/1.7, cropped from portrait format:

I am very pleased although perhaps I front-focused slightly. If you are having flare issues, you could always try a 2.99 ebay lens hood.

And the 24mm sigma superwide ii, last weekend in Bath - I was extremely pleased with the performance of the lens wide open... very sharp, and fast enough to throw the background just out of focus enough to give the shot depth:

Did you pop in to get your thetane levels checked John? I would have panned right a little to give the building more space to face onto. (Unless there was a Church of Latter Day Saints sign on the other side).

Definitely seeing a 3D quality, especially in shot 1. Very jealous although I'm quite happy with something smaller and lighter! (Not that 645d's big for a MF camera).
