fotografz Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 As part of my portrait business, I sometimes shoot folks with their pets. A common perception is that they often look alike. Here's one that proves that rule. Have one of your own to share?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Marc, Are you using your ND for professional work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Stuart, just on occasion. The ND has a huge dynamic range for a digital, and some of the N Zeiss glass has a unique character to it... like the 85/1.4 used for this shot. I've tried to shoot some wedding work with the ND, but the Canon's are more suited to those kinds of rapidly changing situations. I keep the ND around for personal work, more than for paid stuff.

fotografz Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Yeah Peng, there aren't many of them out there. The full frame ND was launched to late, and was plagued with poor marketing that pitted it against much faster cameras rather than touting it's own unique characteristics. It's now discontinued. Those of us who stuck it out with the camera and learned how to use it properly now get some pretty nice stuff out of it. Adobe only just added this camera to the list supported by their RAW developer. A big advancement, since the RAW program that came with the camera was unusable.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Marc, That is a super shot. I should be cursing you as I've recently seen one in a shop in London and your photogs are making me drool. A few deep breaths and I'll get over it. Sigh. All the best, Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_nissila Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 It's a pity about the fate of the camera - those are awesome images. I especially like the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing his wonderful results from the latest $5k digital Canon, I'm lusting after one of those now. :) <p> As always, wonderful shots, Marc. <p> --<br> Eric<br> <a href="http://canid.com/">http://canid.com/</a><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_barringer1 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Marc- In the nuts and bolts department, can you help me locate the Instruction Manual for the Contax ND? I just acquired one and understand it's finiky. Given its rarity I prefer not to experiment until I can find guidance. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
