parkmcgraw: no thank you. I read your other posts too. You're a troll, not a "scientist" who "wrote the book".

Ah, a "pro".

Nonsense. Every manufacturer has to test every product (lenses or not) if they want to assure top notch quality and tolerances. The equipment is not old at all. And even old equipment, when...

Brilliant article! Thank you for posting it.

Most likely software. I've seen stunning landscape work from X-trans, but the right raw software conversion seems to be important. I hear Iridient (or something to that effect) is a good choice....

The "IQ problem" got the Gold Award. Odd, isn't it. Or maybe there is no real problem. Ah, choices, choices...

Given the fact that many renowned professionals came to the opposite conclusion, and DPR awarding the IQ and features with the highest award, I'd say this is merely your opinion and not a fact.

Excellent results, especially considering that this is a entry-level model with a relatively humble kit lens. Well done DPR.

Both my Canon and Nikkor 50mm 1.4's are not consistent focusing in very low light. In fact most lenses are not that good focusing in low light. And none of them have microadjust.

My Sigma 50mm 1.4...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one completely sick and tired of this equivalency nonsense. I use APS-C and full-frame 35mm digital. And (real full-frame) medium format as well. I even dare to use...

Maybe "Sammar"?

The wooden large format camera on the top left, now THAT will give you shallow DOF. Something for the equivalence brigade?

Brilliant... thank you for some genuine humor.

The camera looks somewhat crusty to me. Might still do well on EvilBay, though. Only a few clicks on the shutter by a 2nd owner who didn't use it much. "Some marks on the coatings but surely it...

Is that the best you can do as [your version of] a business case analysis?

Is that the best you can do as [your version of] a business case analysis, Peevee?

Of course any company should focus on profitability. You make it sound as if it's bad to make money, which is of course total nonsense. Kodak didn't put the shareholders first, either - the...

All I remember of these early cameras was that they were, in terms of IQ, the very definition of the words awful, horrible and monstrous... but very nice to see what has changed so immensely and so...

I'm impressed the equivalence police isn't out in full force, complaining about lack of DOF and gibberish about the lenses equivalent to F32 "because of the small sensor".

I'm impressed the equivalence police isn't out in full force, complaining about lack of DOF (or too much of it) and gibberish about the lenses being equivalent to F32 "because of the small sensor".
