While I have a 5D MK II full frame and use it from time to time for reproductions I have been quite amazed of some reproduction work of a color drawing done with a Pentax K5 + a Sigma 70 mm f2.8 Macro. Four stitched takes of a drawing approximately 5x10 feet. Not only does it reproduce the color pencil lines well but it also has good color fidelity, right from the box. Good enough for a Qimage made print 3 feet wide. Used with diffused daylight and no calibration/profiling done yet and more there to fine tune. I advised the purchase of that camera and the lens based on testing done by several web sites. I know the quality is superior to a one frame shot with my camera + a Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro, not a bad combination either. Of course I could do it with stitching too but considering the price and color quality that K5 solution is not bad. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst Try: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wide_Inkjet_Printers/ | Dinkla Grafische Techniek | | www.pigment-print.com | | ( unvollendet ) |
