Great explanation on CMOS sensor performance Dale. I have been thinking about a larger format camera for a few years now. With the demise of Truesense CCD production last year, I was torn between gett

Great image Tom. Don Anderson

Nice catch Dean! Turned out pretty good considering the challenging conditions. Would be interesting to see the same target using an IMX571 based camera. Don Anderson
