I can't use the WL at all for moving subjects (which is most of them, at least at weddings), because switching back and forth between the prism and the WL is too much to get used to in the heat of battle. If I did nothing but landscapes, I'd give the WL more of a fair shake, but for people shots, it limits your ability to be able to shoot above your subjects, at least with the camera in it's normal orientation. -Bradley b r a d l e y h a n s o n SEATTLE www.hansonphotography.com 206.937.8510 > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Lamb [mailto:simon@sclamb.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 10:56 AM > To: hasselblad@kelvin.net > Subject: Re: Gliding mirror > > > Interesting.

Besides killing annoying reflections, it reduces blue sky reflection in other colors such as shiny green foliage. For B&W, it basically kills annoying reflections, which in B&W, aren't always annoying.

The highlights are taken off the green so the green looks more green!

Hi folks,
 
I haven't had a chance to run this lens through its paces yet, and I just wonder if someone who uses one would be kind enough to post a few illuminating remarks.  How do the FLE settings relate to hyperfocal settings or do they affect it at all?

The lens is illuminatingly stellar. I had a C version for years and now have a CFi. Wonderful lens. Hyperfocal setting does not change with FLE changes. The FLE simply re-arranges the lens elements to effect better sharpness in a given focusing range. One of the problems with retrofocus lens designs. There is a good write-up in Wildi.
