SEEWALD GOES DIGITAL...
Yep, I BIT THE BULLET!
Well, after a lot of research I bit the bullet (to
spend the big bucks) and bought a 60mp 'digital back' yesterday- a Leaf Aptus
65.
http://www.nationalphoto.co.jp/2F/outlet/img/datasheet_aptus65.pdf
This will fit my Hasselblad camera, and I have four
prime lenses already. They have been coming down in price over the years, as
well as getting better. I found one in Hong Kong, eBay, that was not too used
(although it was made in 2007), and was only $10,500 (similar here run about
$17K). But I prayed they might lower it further still, and made an offer of
$9,250 (it was not even a 'best offer' type of sale, but fixed price) and they
accepted it, then reduced it on the ad- YIPEE. NOTE, they've sold hundreds of
$2-5K cameras with high marks, so not worried about that aspect, TUL.

Leaf Aptus 65, a 60mp digital back for my Hasselblad.
These 'backs'
actually attach to the back of the camera, separate. I have two films backs that
I would switch from B&W to Color, depending on what I thought would work best.
Of course I've been shooting point and shoot digital
for years, even Canon Rebels at 10mp, but I never knew how great the medium
format ones were until recently. Found out they are actually about twice the
quality of film, maybe three times, of the same size. A bit technical, but the
color range, as well as 'grain', is double that of full size 35mm, not to
mention the glass (lenses) being Zeiss are above excellent.
I'm very excited and can't wait to get this, then I'm
off to Cuba.

One of the places Seewald holds his classes.
"I gained a new, better way of evaluating the
composition of an image in terms of the impact on the viewer. Michael was able
to dramatically demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of each image.
...The
value of Michael's suggestions and comments was tremendous...Michael was
sensitive and appropriate in his critiquing and his critiques were always directed
to produce a positive result".
