I love the Vertex method
I kind of like the "funny" Vertex Rotating Adapter method. It really invites to experiment with stilleben of all kinds. The only problem is that sometimes stitching isn't working with Photoshop or Lightroom, when there are large parts of blurry background. Here I had to use different stitching software. Unfortunately my old one, stooped working when i updated my computer. Now I have a different application, but it isn't really that good. So, I am still searching for a better one (when Photoshop / Lightroom fail).
Of course are the Fujifilm GFX 50 also way more than what is needed. Not to mention people who work with the latter GFX 100 models. The sensor resolution with just one photos, is more than plenty, of course. But I brought the Vertex method to life, because i wanted to see, how the WHOLE LENS performs, as if i would use a digital 7x7 cm sensor camera. Using the entire image circle of those old, medium format lenses.
And i love it.
It is perfect for boring indoor winter activity. And then in spring - good for outdoor experiments. Of course you are always bound to a tripod, to use the Vertex method. but that too is part of the fun. Also; there is no adapter i know of that make the procedure so EASY ! |
And yes, i used gently Topaz Sharpen AI to give micro details better definition. Once you make the image smaller, yet it still retains a very large surface - you really gain a lot of sharp, fine details and definition for sure.
