first fuji bashing, now euro-bashing?  Or are you trying to change the subject..? :-P

Being a photographer in the UK is more complicated than in the rest of the EU:  http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/euro/cash/reproduction/index_en.htm As you see, one should print "specimen" if it...

Yes indeed. I do not have a Fuji (yet), but i am amazed to see Peter71951 posting very good shots of feathers and banknotes that show very clearly (if you enlarge them to 100 % in the standard...

...did you see Nikko ?  Hope you liked Tokyo !

:-) pure altruïsm ....

Thanks ! I will have a look into that book.

Hi, Of course there is the famous leica monochrome. Indeed, if you look at the fine details, they are better than a M9 color image converted to B&W. Now, the algorithms used in raw-converters are...

Very interesting, all this information on russian lenses, thanks ! I tried a tair11, wow, heavy, made a bit yellowish pictures, and had a terrible amount of rusty grease on its blades, so i send it...

Dear Godfrey, You are comparing the DOF of a 35 mm lens on APS-C to a 50 mm lens on a FF. Your observation is of course right, i agreed on that from the beginning. The difference to what I said is...

I definitely agree: it is the weak or absent Anti-Alias filter. My Leica M9 did the same: a simple thing like a winefield became ugly because of it...However, the leica Jpeg engine filtered most of...

Hi Godfrey, i think we now are really where we should be. Imagine my "garden with transmission tower" image, taken with the same lens, same setting , but imagine that ricoh would have replaced the...

Ned, they are really looking like the old days B&W pictures ! I prefer the ones with a bit less vignetting, but the tone, contrast and details are very nice !

Now another test: picture at F4 on infinity. Then: infinity sign placed on the F8 DOF mark, (distance on the scale about 1m70, "sharp from80 cm to infinity if aperture set to F8.) Now each new part...

Wate at 21mm , F4, distance 1 m,  should be sharp from  80 cm to 140 cm on a full frame. Seems correct for the GXR too. (the 5.6 limits would have been 70 cm to 160 cm) Wate 21mm at F4

I would take a fast 35, (2.0 or 1.4),  and the tiniest thus slow 21 or 24 mm, as landscapes etc are often in decent light or on a tripod  (look into leica too, second hand ?) For the portraits, i...

Sorry Godfrey, but it not about you,  i think Dennis would like sharp pictures, So even if you can live with you truth, he will be more helped with the best answer. Dennis, i will post some images...

Godfrey , you might reconsider your explication that you maintained for 40 years . And fortunately, from time to time someone did not believe you. Better read here:...

never mind. Read my first reply to you ! (did you read ?????) The phrase is an exact copy and past of what i said (and i directed it kindly to YOU) Yes, of course it does. even a .... ??? me not...
