Resolution comparison: 4x5 view camera vs. 5MP dSLR

After I built and used for the first time my Bender camera, I scanned one of the negatives (with an output of about 105MP) and compared the result with a similar picture taken with my Olympus E-1.
I feel kind of bad because I like my E-1 a lot, and obviously it's not fair to compare a 5MP digital image with a 105MP scan, but it was fun and interesting to do.

See the comparison here.

The Bender 4x5 View Camera Project is finished!


After a few months of inactivity, I'm back.

I completed the construction of the Bender 4x5 view camera (see picture on the right); you can find a full report about it here, some additional pictures here, and a comparison between 4x5 film and a dSLR here.

In the next few days I'll start updating this blog - there are lots of trips and photographs to talk about!
