What's interesting about Martin's workflow is his use of a 'technical assistant" who is always making sure his highlights aren't blown out, etc... She is sort of his director, if you will. But most photographers don't have someone sitting behind them on a computer watching their every move. I'd lose my mind working like this.
Surprising to see Martin using this particular lens at f/18 where it suffers quite badly from diffraction relative to its optimum setting of f/8 which offers the sharpest results throughout the frame. When tested independently resolution dropped at f/11 and substantially so at anything past f/16.
As a former P1 employee, both are valid points. The best aperture is between F11-14 if you want to avoid any diffraction. I do agree that he's using F18 to take the edge of it but if there is diffraction with the image, you can go into Capture One's Lens Correction and depending on the lens profile, you can use the diffraction correction and and lens sharpness!
It’s surprisingly the you can shoot in so close and tight. Such incredible results cannot be questioned.

glad to know you know better than a world class photographer. we can all sleep better now....
He's shooting medium format, not 35mm. Different rules apply.

When depth of field needs to be deep, still you wanna shoot at best sharpness which is usually f/8?
Nice camera
Cute how he takes ownership for pioneering close up portraits...
um, are you familiar with the term 'weeger'? Yeah. the lowest form of life.
omg that Obama photo is TERRIBLE. I would have fired you on the spot
yeah lets see your work then!
