ALPA SILEX MK II – The Technical Camera Powerhouse

Posted on 2018/10/24 5:16 PM by Brad Kaye

As covered previously in Copal Shutter Care & Alternatives, we are at a turning point for the use of the Schneider & Rodenstock optics used on technical cameras, with their purely mechanical Copal-0 shutters working like little gear & spring timepieces that are now (and have been) out of production and are in dwindling supply for new installations and repairs, forcing us to contemplate what’s next in technical camera shooting.

Capture One 11.3 – Full Fujifilm GFX 50S Support

Posted on 2018/10/08 4:53 PM by Brad Kaye

Capture One 11.3 launched last week with the new ability to tether to and process Fuji RAF format raw files from the medium format GFX 50S.

There was, of course, the option to avoid 3rd party apps … Read More →

Dark Frame Be Gone!

Posted on 2018/07/02 10:50 AM by Brad Kaye

In order to maximize image quality and minimize noise on all Phase One digital captures, an additional dark frame of the same shutter speed duration is captured immediately after the image has been captured to record the noise print from that time of shooting and the math from that temporary image will later be subtracted from the original exposure when you view the image in Capture One. When the dark frame subtraction (DFS) … Read More →
