Here's one done with a 57 year old camera, a 51 year old lens, and a 16 year old sensor.

I'm curious about the 16-year old sensor on the 57-year old camera. Can you provide more details?

Bob, you know it is not the equipment but the person behind it. You are an outstanding classic film and digital photographer. A master in the trade. Great image!

Very nice as usual. It is a little over saturated for me. Not a criticism jut an observation.

I don't understand the difference in age between the sensor and camera. To bad you couldn't do another shot with todays equipment to see the difference.

I am just amazed that it is color, Bob (LOL). Proof again that it is the photographer, not the camera.

Having the latest and greatest equipment in any endeavor puts the onus on you and eliminates any excuses for mediocre performance. Assuming you chose correctly for the task at hand.
You can break up a slab of concrete with a claw hammer if persistent, but a jack hammer will do it better every time.

There would be a significant difference although some might not think its better. I'm not in that camp.

Hi, DWU2. The camera body is a Hasselblad 500c/cm manufactured in 1963. The lens is a Zeiss Planar f/2.8 manufactured in 1969. The sensor is a Phase One P20 manufactured in 2004.

Thanks, Curmudgeon. I did very little other than set the sensor to Daylight. There is the possibility that the lack of modern coatings on the lens played a bit of a role in the color intensity.

Smudgey, the date of manufacture of the camera body and sensor accounts for the difference. Doing a comparison shot might be a future project. However, this was just a concept photo that shows the latest and greatest may not be an answer.

Joe, thanks for checking this out and commenting. I'm not sure how jackhammers and concrete figure into photography, but it's early and I'll have to give that some thought. I would think it more likely a comparison between the camera lucida and something more modern might be more appropriate.

Hi, rook2c4. No, not at all. The sensor was manufactured in 2004. Thus, it's 16 years old.

Are you saying the film is 16 years old?
