Glad you're coming around to appreciating the 55-200! I have versions in SA, Pentax and Canon mounts and I find them all excellent.  Dirt cheap, too.

So in practice, your only option is to render out the images as a set of finished TIF files and keep the original unprocessed raws along with a set of processing instructions that no software...

I haven't been to the South Island where there are more fjord type scenary but I did visit the volcanically active region of Rotorua which has geology in common with Yellowstone and parts of...

Treasures await you....

I'd have done a completely different kind of interpretation for this kind of subject. Thankfully there's room for all styles and mono positively encourages experimentation.  My style:

A subscription model works for consumables (gas, electricty) or as a method of getting a discount (subscribe for 1 year up front and save 50% on the price of the monthly magazine!!).  But is it...

Does LR have the capability of exporting out all your images, edits and metadata in some kind of format other programs can use such that if you were forced to move to another program you wouldn't...

I loved the south coast from Vik going East. Aside from Vik you get to cross all this amazing run off from the glacier - black sand, ice and glacial melt. I crossed it at night with the midnight...

I've been to the North Island of NZ and I thought it looks more like the English Lake District than Iceland. I suspect Iceland's geography is unique.

I went to Iceland 4 years ago (inspired by Michael Reichman's articles).  At that time it was an unfamiliar location, and hardly anyone went there on holiday. Certainly I'd didn't know anyone who'd...

I wouldn't assume that everyone agrees with you (which is what the tone of your opening post implies).  I don't.  I might concede that 6x7 or large format film can compete with digital but IMO 35mm...

Yes, you won't find many straight forward comparisons like this on the forum. Going back over the years, you'll find comparisons taken of different subjects in different light, single images from...

Seems to me that is how all businesses should react to a problem. No nitpicking or legalistic get outs which makes the company look grasping and mean spirited and dissuades anyone from doing...

As a 16,000 posts + veteran of dpreview, I think I am competent to recognise a fruitless argument... ;-) Most of them get that way because they are people swapping words and opinions...

Those nerd people you call "only", are the people that invented, well, just about everything, really.

That just tells you that the D800 model has not got a strong enough AA filter. Look at say the Fuji S5 Pro.  This was designed as a wedding photographer's camera where a very wide dynamic range and...

But it didn't get better by magic, did it? It got better by the efforts of people with enquiring minds who were prepared to delve into the whys and try and work out what worked best. They were then...

There is room for curiosity surely? Roland has campaigned for a Sensor technology forum in the past and until we get one (ha!) this is really the only logical place for such discussions. You sound...

Lin Absolutely right of course, in terms of what works visually.  But this discussion isn't about what works in a pragmatic sense, it's about trying to understand the cause or reason that someone...

OK, but do up like the pictures better because they are not Bayer pictures or because they are Foveon pictures, that's the point I'm asking
