  • Replied in D800E and lenses that pop!
    Jeff, between a guitar riff and the next, I would suggest you to get an M9 & Summicron 50mm f2 v5, find a location with micro details (landscape with foliage would be perfect), set the camera on...
  • Replied in Nice & light
    as usual, Gianluca. I would have added more contrast in mid tones, but that's my taste. Thanks for...
  • Replied in x-pro1 for landscapes.
    I am trying to figure out the same and next week I will be loaned an Xp1 for a "tripod test". So far, full size samples available in photo sites and mtf graph published by Fuji suggest that,...
  • Replied in Nice ending, felipe-m
    but stevielee will backfire, given time to reload itself. M -- Mauro http://www.maurobenphoto.com http://www.romephotographyworkshop.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/mbenphoto
  • Replied in The Leica warrior is waiting for the Fuji-gang !!!
    The Fuji gang will not show up, too busy trying to focus in pitch dark with their cameras... Nice shot as usual. X1 or M8...
  • Replied in don't knock the Saab
    I have got a Saab too. Convertible 9-3 Turbo SE, 210 hp. Maybe I should be blacklisted for that, as well as for owning an M9... BTW, industrially speaking, Saab was sliding down since years,...
  • Replied in Dear Linda
    You made the most likely assumption in the most adorable way. M -- Mauro http://www.maurobenphoto.com http://www.romephotographyworkshop.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/mbenphoto
  • Replied in The bottom line
    I subscribe Llloyd's DAP since years and find it a valuable source of information. Not 100% accurate, but complementary to other sources. For some reasons, he did not care to dig inside the...
  • Replied in You know what, stevielee ?
    You're wrong, stevieleettle. As often you are. I do not care at all about you. Nor about your stupid cliches, like "bells which ring". I wrote the post first to amuse myself, and also to give...
  • Replied in You know what, stevielee ?
    I do not care. Really. I do not care about you. About Fuji. About Leica. About money. It's just photography. Do not blame Leica or any brand. You do like Fuji ? Enjoy it....
  • Replied in Nice pic and caption, Gianluca
    And just smile to the techno-pauperism lately unwillingly ignited by...
  • Replied in Wow
    RealXenuis is back from his grave with some more time to waste. You are right and correct and whatever. M ...
  • Replied in Clint, you are not a lawyer, aren't you ?
    You are contradicting yourself. If in 2013 "the XPro1 will have a more advanced sensor", it will be a Xp2, correct. Therefore, by 2013 the current Xp1 will be obsolete and its value as a camera...
  • Replied in I do not agree, but we are not supposed to either...
    My M9 has been specially tuned by Leica along with all my late Summicrons & Elmarits. It was an expensive process after which, at 160 iso (my standard for landscape) it has an astonishing image...
  • Replied in So, feel free to laugh, if that pleases you...
    A few points for you: 1) Summilux will stay almost forever, the Xp1 in 2013 will almost be digital dust - blown aside by a much improved, hopefully full frame, Xp2. Let's compare annual...
  • Replied in With all due respect, what were you trying to prove ?
    Therefore, neither you can prove I could not prove he could not...
  • Replied in With all due respect, what were you trying to prove ?
    Your posted Fuji pics, particularly with the 18mm, looks like having been shot in a different season, aside looking very color-compressed. Maybe they were not the proper samples to post, or it...
  • Replied in Some D800E samples
    Hi Riccardo, it is that residual 1% (100% - 99%) and my lack of "capable hands" that is driving...
  • Replied in I would love to get an answer to my question.
    I have / had cameras with and without AA filter. Photos from AA-less cameras look definitely better when there is a lot of microdetails (foliage in medium-long range landscapes, buildings, ...)...
