Why every single manufacturer publishes their Full Frame (Ooops, sorry. I did it again) equivalence for their lenses? I've been shooting 35mm since 1978, and I still must "convert" in my mind my...

Last night I was driving back home, passing through the Canal zone, and saw something I liked, I can't remember what was it. But the 20mm behaved, and didn't focus fast enough. So I came out with...

They are not tele converters, but they are priced like ones. I might way until the price drops to a sane level, or someone sells them used. -- Martin...

That's why I think is the "Beginning" of the death. More and more serious amateurs, logical customers of the APS-C format, are moving to mirrorless, as m43 and NEX cameras are having better...

If Nikon releases the D600 for 1,600 $, I strongly believe it will be the beginning of the death of APS-C format as we know it. Maybe it will continue to be used in mirrorless cameras, but for...

I'll be going to the groceries store on the weekend looking for the bags. Thanks all for your help. -- Martin...

I've been playing around with the polar filter in CS6, and this is my first rendering. I called it Planet Panama Canal. You can see the Mifaflores locks building, a ship crossing and the railways...

Oh yeah. These two characters, when joined together shooting video are like Laurel and Hardy. Is not only the content of what are they saying, but the relaxed amusing overall atmosphere that makes...

Youre very welcomed. You won't believe how could you live without Lightroom. Is that good. -- Martin...

I work in a very cold place. AC here is sometimes nice, but some other times one freeze you butt down. The question is, since Panama is a very hot and humid place, every time I go out with my G3,...

I just found out in the last LL video download, that he will soon be releasing 3 books resembling Ansel Adams classics. They called them The Digital Negative, The Digital Print and The Digital...

In my opinion, Luminous-Landscape owner Michael Reichman, and celebrated studio photographer Jeff Schewe have made a series of video tutorials that are way better than any book you can find around....

Well, maybe in a few months, once I get her a few things she needs more. Then I might try. In fact, I'm planning on getting the GH3+12-35mm, and "gifting" her my G3, so everyone will be happy....

There. That's it. That's the one I've been looking for, for months. Thanks. BTW, I wonder if my HP EliteBook 2540p will fit on the 150, or I better go with the 250. How slim a netbook should be...

Great images. I enjoyed them very much. -- Martin Ocando ------------------------- http://g2.img-dpreview.com/0B35E56214CC460A820465CDECE700C9.jpg

That, and people sometimes tend not to give enough time to the IS system to actually stabilize the image, and shoot before the image is still. That happened to me numerous times with my Pentax...

Just a sample of the issue. And this was at ISO 320. I couldn't shoot above 250, or the banding became really annoying. dpr://galleries/2502371699/photos/1980621 -- Martin...

Awesome pictures. Very nice. BTW, Lightroom 4 have all the EXIF metadata about lens used. And if you upload it to dpreview, using LR4 DPR pluggin, it will pass all that metadata and you'll see...

Me neither. I was a Pentax user for 6 years only, but I have a good friend who's been using Pentax for more than 40 years, and have never had any issue like those you mention. My only gripe with...
