True, but the route in this situation determines the end result The tonal representation and dynamic range of black and white film is far superior to anything the bayer filter can spit out.You can...

I have not but my old employer did. Signed a contract with the school. Would make enough money to hire other people to take the photos for him. Other than that, I only take photos of kids that are...

Sue them. What they did was pure and simple intellectual theft, with no regard for your rights. They broke the law. If the parent who asked for your photos is in fact a teacher and in charge of...

Steephill, Since I have purchased this product I have learnt that the X-rite color passport or a standard Macbeth chart can be used to create a profile directly from an unmodified dng file. This...

Hiya, I bought a Datacolor Spydercheckr last week cause I needed to make a colour/camera profile. Their website product page states that it provides the following solution: 'A custom camera profile...

Mr Fidler,
Tell that to the scores of people who had to sell off their high end FT lenses because Olympus stopped being serious about making bodies.
Also tell it to those that held on to their...

Lets face it, serious camera users and knowledgeable professionals don't buy Olympus anymore. They used to, with the four thirds lineup, and Olympus all but ditched that to start making inferior...

The question is, will this lens perform well wide open, or will it have to be stopped down?
Most good fast prime lenses benefit greatly from being stopped down.

To the guy who made this... thing.
You could have bought a 6x6 film camera for a couple hundred dollars, adapted this lens to mount on it, and then gone through the process of developing your own...

The top and bottom plates of the camera are cold to the touch.
The top plate of the pop up flash is not cold to the touch. It is a different material to the rest of the plate.
Please hold the...

In regards to this cameras handling, I think it feels like a dog made out of bricks.
The camera is weighted horribly towards the opposite side to the grip, seemingly beyond the placement of the...

So true on those points! For me, having started out shooting on digital, then moving on to film, I shoot it because the results are much more immediately acceptable than output from a digital...

Malyons, I would suggest you give your students a heads up on books such as The Camera, The Print, and The Negative, by Ansell Adams. The first one in particular giving one much more grounded and...

Here is a scan from a glass plate negative that was shot in Yorkshire England circa 1910.
Personally I think it's a very...

Malyons, camera movements and lens design are first year photography subjects. For a high school photography teacher to consider such a trivial article a learning option is quite a frightening...

Increasing DOF has never been the point of TS lenses, and they are just as good at it as other lenses are. Perspective correction and plane of focus adjustment is what they are technically made...

This 'unique' approach has been in use by photographers for over 100 years.
