<p>Thank you all.<br /><br />I am not very conversant with calibration.<br /><br />I assume, that there should be extra hardware attached inside the mechanism of the Monitor which will communicate with the calibration gadget and software, which makes these few series of few models special as "calibratable" and thus costly.<br /><br />And Andrew Rodney was telling Benq PG240's technology is superior, hence it is more costly. Right?<br /><br />Now, to start with at a minimal cost, same time without sacrificing the very cause of calibrating process, can I buy a Monitor, VFM one, if it is existing at all, please ? <br /><br /></p>

<p>I am in the process of setting up a color-calibrated environment: Monitor, Printer, if needed Camera too.<br /><br />While talking to local the X-rite dealer, he suggested the only 'true calibratable' monitor is Benq PG 240.<br /><br />I found it is pretty pricey.<br /><br />Is it true, this is the only one and no alternative affordable one ?</p>

<p>Ok.<br />How good is "Canon 100 mm 2.8 Macro EF" for this work, please ?</p>

<p>Thank you.<br> Yes, I too am convinced a long lens, say around 100mm 1:1 is ideal for this work.<br />But I am looking for a lens from the old system, large format.<br /><br />Heard there are many a Jems available, used, very cheap, but real good for this work. But Im not well versed to know which are good glass, compatible on A7r.<br /><br />Please help...</p>

<p>For a Limited-Edition Art reprinting facility, I got a studio room with a length of about 22 feet.<br />I need to decide a copying Lens: a flat-field 50mm or longer, say 90, 100 or even 150mm.<br> I tested the distance with the 24-105 zoom on my Sony A7r. I can copy a size of about 8x5 feet painting in single piece.<br />I read copying from distance with long lens or copying in tiles is better to avoid hot-spots.<br />Considering this, which lens is better for my room for copying 8x5 feet and smaller oil paintings,<br> a 50mm/2.5 macro or longer as mentioned above?<br> (I am aware of proper lighting at 45 angle and the like...)<br> I think better I go for a 150 mm, and capture in tiles and stitch them to make an adequately large file in about 300 resolution.<br> Am I correct?<br> Thanks in advance for the time...</p>
