  • I guess it's the beginning of a long and successful story. Today maybe a toy for smartphone enthusiasts, tomorrow a tool for the pros with bigger lenses and intermountable sensor/processor units....

  • I find HDR is totally justified here (maybe only a little too much of it). And the brown cast of the picture is corresponding to the atmosphere of an urban scene which with its houses, pavement and...

  • Commented on Cold morning in the Winterscapes challenge

    Awesome!

  • Nowadays nearly anything can be put into the 'Art'-Department, turning it into a subject of belief. And there's always a lot of believers out there who don't know that good art is really rare.

  • Oh, sorry for my mistake in the name: It's of course Barney Britton I agree with!

  • I totally agree to Barnaby Britton! It has always been a privilege to enthusiasts to shoot just for fun without having to carry around a heavy-weight equipment. And now, as mirrorless cameras are...

  • Commented on Shimmering in the My best picture this week challenge

    Thanks for explaining!

  • Commented on Shimmering in the My best picture this week challenge

    Congrats on this picture! You used the best equipment for it as to the camera/lens combination. In the film era it would have taken at least a 6x9 cm camera to achieve such a technical quality. I'm...

  • Nature scenes like these don't allow to check up on lens distortion. Maybe you mean these stones in the foreground seemingly being pulled into the corners of the picture - thereby becoming...
  • I'm sure the new Touit 32 mm would be a much better choice than any 28 mm FL! But I'd  buy me the Zeiss F1,8/24 mm instead, if I had a 45 mm already. Moreover, in the film era a moderate wide angle...
  • Thanks for answering!
  • Created questions Fujifilm X-M1
    Will a viewfinder be offered as an accessory?
  • I know that Contax G lenses delivered superb IQ, especially the 21mm and the 28mm - but don't expect them to do that at your mirrorless camera! Wide angle RF lenses are optically symmetrical...
  • Commented on Just Posted: Ricoh GR Review news story

    Lens tests shouldn't ignore the issue of flare! How does the lens react to brigtht lights in the frame or just out of it?
    And how does the wide-angle adapter perform in terms of IQ?
    The GR might...

  • There's an interesting review of the DP1 Merrill on Imaging Resource with a side-by-side comparison including the Coolpix A as well as the Ricoh GR; the Ricoh falls behind the Nikon at high...

  • The E-P5 seems to be a fine MFT-camera, indeed. But the only significant advantage to the E-PL5 is an even better image stabilizer, IMO. Are the other differences important enough (if you're not...

  • Commented on Ricoh GR Hands-on Preview preview

    There's an optional adapter for a lens hood as well as for 43mm filters and for a wide-angle converter making the lens a 21mm (ff, equiv.)!

  • Commented on Ricoh GR Hands-on Preview preview

    With aperture wide open the GR provides obviously better sharpness than the Coolpix A does. With F 5.0 the Nikon is above the Ricoh. I'd like to know how their lenses cope with sun inside the...

  • No judge can decide whether new prints decrease the value of older ones. It's the market! Of course, the exorbitant high prices for photographs (and for so many other things, by the way) might be...

  • Commented on Senior FA in the stewardess challenge

    Howsoever this portraiture has been made, it's justified. It's the result that counts. Even the background with its blurred colors is adding to it. Congratulations!
