LOL. Typo. I meant to say that I am in Spain, not that I am in Spin, although there is some truth in feeling in spin at this moment. I agree totally with Zackiedawg's discussion of the multimode...

I am currently in Spin with a 5n and I am using HHT a lot. I am also finding that HDR5 mode can be very effective as a hand held low light mode in high contrast situations. With HDR5 mode the...

For my 6x4 I am using Calidad Super Glossy. I can get this at a little under $10 (Australian) buying in bulk. I have calculated my ink costs using a CISS as under 1cent per shot. There will be a...

Further to my previous comments. I exhibit and sell prints so I produce quite a few of them. It is still better to get them done at a lab in my opinion. But I do use a printer at home. I have an...

The answer depends on many things. A good "lab" isn't your local store that makes prints. You need a "lab" that will work with you. You need your monitor to be profiled so that what you are seeing...

ie, do a horizontal scan in auto, then do a second scan below and see if ICE can join them? I'd have a go but all my camera is out of reach at the moment. ICE ability to stitch moving water...

Well, if that isn't a comparison what is it? Hardly surprising given the glass on a D800, its very latest sensor and FF. Which lens are you using? It makes a difference. Don't you think...

Which is just how much detail and quality he is able to extract from a 12 mp mft size sensor when printed up to this size. He deliberately chose a subject that had very fine surface detail; was...

Is it possible that mft users who read this forum don't make prints? I would have thought that the article I referred to in the post should have been a "must read" for any mft user and would have...

I'm not sure what you are seeing, but there is lots of nonsenses talked about the slt design. Re light loss caused by the mirror. Acceptable variability errors in the accuracy and consistency of...

Master printmaker Ctein has done a print from an Oly mft in which he tries to make the best possible large print. He outlines his method and considerable comment is generated from other...

Most impressive. Especially as you are shooting moving water and stiching 28 frames . I gather you have 14 frames on the top and bottom rows? If so, there had to be quite a significant time gap...

Whetting my appetite. I'll be there in 12 days. -- Mike Fewster Adelaide Australia

Check this deal from master printer ctein using an image from an old 12mp Oly m4/3 and read his...

On the promo it says it can change camera comtrols and be used for HDR. Does this mean it can be used to take multiple shots using different ev settings for HDR on a nex? Could it also vary the...

Note his cryptic comment about Oly sharpening. I think what he is getting at is that Oly jpeg engine seems to get some of its extra sharpness by what I think is over sharpening of the jpegs. If you...

But who is making the sensors in those Nikons? I think Sony is strongly building its photography position. But the OM-D has only just been released and is really making an impact. I'd reckon it is...

I find that to be incredible. Are you sure that your statements on the Sony controls are correct? -- Mike Fewster Adelaide Australia

Um m . I had a Mamiya C330 and seem to remember the lenses as being pretty good. Bit hard to say after all this time. Possibly the medium format made the prints look good? I also had a Yashicamat....

It has made it much more convenient (again). I always like shooting low angle and loved tlr film cameras. So the tilting mirror hasn't changed my style, just let me redicover it. -- Mike...
