Camera Comparison
Here are some images I took with all three cameras from the same perspective and the same exposure. All photos were taken using a tripod. The exposure settings were set using the meter from the Canon EOS. Here goes:
This is the Forest Hills LIRR station. This was taken using the Speed Graphic. It is probably the best shot in the lot. Mrs. Base10 liked the old car, too.
This was the same scene using the Yashicamat. Notice the square format and the greater coverage in the foreground. Notice that the coverage is slightly different. That's because the Speed Graphic has a 125 mm lens which is not quite normal for 6x9 film format.
This is the same image taken with the EOS digital camera with a 17-85mm lens set at 50mm. Note the much smaller area of coverage since the sensor is not full frame. I realize this is subjective, but I definitely feel the film images have more warmth.
This photo is of the pine barrens in Forest Park at the Myrtle Avenue side. This is a better scan of the image previously posted here. It was taken with the Speed Graphic.
This version was taken with the Yashicamat. Note the greater coverage at the bottom and top of the frame.
This is the same image taken with the EOS. Once again note the compressed coverage.
This is not to say that digital is no good. This is just a perception on my part, but I like the film.
