About formats

MEF is the proprietary RAW image format used by Mamiya medium-format digital cameras, introduced with the Mamiya ZD in 2004 and continued through subsequent models including the DM series. MEF files capture the unprocessed output from Mamiya's large-area CCD sensors — typically 48x36mm or larger — at 16 bits per channel, preserving the full dynamic range and color depth of the medium-format sensor before any demosaicing, white balance, or tonal processing takes place. The format uses a TIFF-based container that stores the raw Bayer-pattern data alongside embedded JPEG previews and extensive EXIF metadata including Mamiya lens identification, shutter speed, aperture, and metering information. Mamiya (later reorganized as Mamiya Digital Imaging and eventually merged into Phase One's operations) has a legacy stretching back to 1940 in medium-format film photography, and the MEF format represents the digital continuation of that tradition. One advantage is the medium-format sensor's inherent imaging qualities: the larger sensor area captures more light per pixel, producing lower noise floors, smoother tonal gradations, and a shallower depth-of-field rendering that medium-format photographers value for portrait, fashion, and landscape work. RAW flexibility is another practical strength — MEF files processed in Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, or dcraw allow photographers to apply modern demosaicing and noise reduction algorithms to these sensors, often extracting noticeably better results than the camera's original processing offered.

FB2 (FictionBook) is an XML-based ebook format created by Dmitry Gribov in 2004, designed to provide a clean semantic description of a book's content independent of its visual presentation. Unlike page-layout formats, FB2 encodes structure — title, authors, chapters, annotations, genres, epigraphs, poems, footnotes, and binary attachments (typically cover images) — within a single well-formed XML document. This structural approach means reading applications have full control over rendering, allowing the same file to adapt perfectly to a small phone screen or a large e-ink reader. FB2 became enormously popular in Russia and Eastern Europe, serving as the dominant format on major Russian digital libraries and ebook distribution platforms. One significant advantage is metadata richness: the format's schema mandates detailed bibliographic information including author, translator, series position, publication date, and genre classification, making library management and discovery straightforward. The plain-text XML foundation is another strength — FB2 files are human-readable, easy to validate, and simple to transform using standard XML tools like XSLT. The format specification is freely available on GitHub, and a wide ecosystem of readers, editors, and converters supports it across all major platforms, from desktop applications like Calibre to dedicated e-readers with native FB2 rendering.
