Re: LEICA DMR OVER 1DSMK11?

Hi,

There have been several mentions here about Getty's camera requirements. I have poked around on their site but haven't been able to find the "accepted cameras" list that's been mentioned. Does someone have an address I can use? Thanks!

Jim Quinn

Re: LEICA DMR OVER 1DSMK11?

Jim,
You will find no mention of accepted cameras on the site as the information is on the Getty photographers site which is only accessible to Getty photographers. The list is as follows: Canon 1DS2, 1DSmk1, 5D, Nikon D2X, D200, for 'Creative'. Canon 1D2 for editorial. Most digital backs are also accepted.

Gary.

Re: LEICA DMR OVER 1DSMK11?

Based on various German and Japanese tests (conducted in the lab), the DMR has the same or even better resolution than the D2X ... definitely (much) better than the D200, also the 350D/20D/30D can resolve the same as the D200 does, I wonder how Getty compiled the list ... if they only count pixel numbers, they should accept the Sony R1 pictures as well.

Re: LEICA DMR OVER 1DSMK11?

In terms of color purity, "crispness" and quality of image straight out of the camera the Leica DMR I am testing right now looks a bit better than my 1Ds mk.2 and I like the time savings of using DNG as the raw format. Skin tones are amazing.

But the price you pay is a file that is 6mp smaller and the very real price difference between the Leica and Canon L lenses. for example the list price on the 15mm Leica lens is $5,000 (USD). Also no autofocus as Marc pointed out. if you have an investment in compact flash cards, you'll need to switch to SD cards.

I thnk my ideal (real world0 if-I-win-the-lottery DSLR set up would be a DMR and r=the 1Ds mk.2 with the SK grmes Leica to Canon body adapter for when I wanbt the advantages ofthe Canon body and the quality of the Leica glass.

My ideal (fantasy) DSLR set up would be the above, but incorporating Nikon's iTTL flash metering system.

Re: LEICA DMR OVER 1DSMK11?

That camera basically exists, it is called a D2x... :-)

Bernard, you can't mount a R lens on the D2X, and I suspect that you could find a Nikkor wide angle lens which doesn't show a fair amount of CA even on the 1.5x cropped body.

Do you mean "couldn't find"?

Cheers,
