I am strongly leaning to getting a medium format mirrorless. Brand yet unknown.
But yesterday I was doing some thinking on this and want some input from those who understand the physics of this.
The primary advantage of the mirrorless system is just that. It’s mirrorless. No shutter and no mirror. OK So weight reduction aspects aside, it dawned on me that the DISTANCE of the lens to the image plane is highly reduced and thus lenses dedicated to the mirrorless must have a magnification effect of a fairly strong level with the rear element in order to create an image circle large enough to cover the sensor.
This translates to a reciprocating level of distortion involved and would it not also create a serious change in the DoF aspect overall? Thus somewhat mitigating one of the primary aspects of Med. Format to begin with? PLUS, given the compression of the distance, would this not also translate to a compression of image quality? Ergo lines of resolution?
Yes?
No?
