Useful, well written tutorial on an important tool (PS & LR5)... thank you, Jean!
As a previous PS user, i'm still amazed how time consuming even the most basic operations are in Adobe products:...

Besides speed, Picasa has one of the best photo rendering engines around.
Comparing its JPG and NEX/NX RAW renditions vs. LR5 on AdobeRGB displays (lab references 4-9Mpix), i wonder how could...

Good compositions, sharp shots, classy PPS... Superb!

my 3C does the same every now and then, seems random... If it's dead sensel remap, then it's indeed a random process, not just monthly as suggested here. I wouldn't worry about it, though i'm...

it's fairly priced, though i personally prefer the 20-50kit on this NX; the body has a great UI, good (albeit low res) AMOLED, can be customized more than many entry-level dSLRs and NEX... and its...

"the lens does not resolve far-away detail to the point of being tack-sharp at any distance or aperture setting" With the exception of the review samples, hand-picked and calibrated, most of these...

"Ok Did some ruler tests. The infinity is not as sharp as the closer object. This is at any distance on the focus ring. What could be the issue?" Seems that your lens is a bit too far from the...

RNDMAN: The angular operation range (120deg. twist) translates into ca. 1mm of linear lens displacement. Linear operational range (OR): The lens linear travel of an 8mm Samyang across the full...

link seems OK https://picasaweb.google.com/107634715157732050217/Samyang8mmFisheyeOnNEXAndNX100?authuser=0&feat=directlink We're talking about "de-calibrated" as in not able to resolve more details...

Mike, indeed it's interesting to follow the debate, though i disagree w/ the "hyperfocal' (HF) conjecture trying to rescue those lenses not too de-calibrated. Mine, however, was so deadly out of...

Jerry, Chimere: Thanks for the discussion and sorry for x-posting. However, despite its huge hyperfocal range, a potentially large fraction of the 8mm Samyang production is hopelessly out of focus....

Please compare the first 13 shots (before) w/ the rest (after) below. This sample could not focus at less than 10 feet before, at any aperture, on any body (Nikon, Samsung, NEX). No problem...

Because some of us can't even reach this. E.g., my lens initially couldn't even 'focus' closer than 10', and even beyond that it was soft.  Makes sense, as the optimal lies between 5.6 and...

i confess not wanting to violate a brand new lens and having jitters when the going got tough (glued screws, weak screwdrivers)... But again, there's a gem hidden inside this lens... most of them...

James: This unfortunately was a premature thread stopper and quite misleading for the average user w/o a PhD in optical design! I won't argue that you're wrong in all cases,  yet yours seems a...

No need to look for longer adapters, 'cos some google homework shows a simpler fix to an actual calibration issue of this otherwise great 8mm...

While NEX benefits from possibly the largest ecosystem of lens adapters from $5 to $100 (average $25), sometimes it's hard to get a 'proper' Nikon adapter, i.e., of precise length for near and...

Agreed: The hires display field has stagnated for 15+ yrs. My colleagues have developed the IBM 22" 4K LCD in the mid'90s. Had sub-niche markets (science, medical), despite cards and PCs that could...

Most of them 'tiny little female Chinese hands' might actually exceed in strength and endurance our expectations... still plenty of hard work there. Hence my respect.
