M1963

Whatever.

I'm a relative newcomer to photography, but analogue cameras are my aesthetic reference due to early exposure to film cameras (an uncle of mine sold Minoltas and Fujis). Last saturday I held an...

Caleido, thank you. You managed to bring what otherwise was a nice exchange of opinions down to a gutter-level argument. I quit - not because you told me to (I don't concede you such authority),...

Go on and keep acting like the sheeps stockholders and CEOs want you to be. In the meantime I'll just keep true to *real* photography.
Someone said I am narrow-minded. What do you call, then, to...

'Are you blind?'
That was completely unnecessary, Caleido. If you have trouble managing your emotions, you should get professional help.

eNo, that link in my comment is a sample image to which digital zoom (because that's what it really is) was applied. Re. the rest of your reply: if you like consumerism and think it's all OK,...

vlad0, I've looked at your photos and they're OK. The aesthetic sense is all there and subjects are beautiful, if not too imaginative. Now - can you do streaking, blur and selective focus with a...

The madness has gone too far. Phones are for phoning (and texting, OK), cameras are for photographing. The sample image on flickr...

Actually I wouldn't call a yellow Pentax K. O. 1 'serious'...
Neither can I see the point of making a mirrorless camera with all the disadvantages of the kind. It can use all Pentax K-mount...

Actually I wouldn't call a yellow Pentax K. O. 1 'serious'...
Neither can I see the point of making a mirrorless camera with all the disadvantages of the breed. Surely it can use all Pentax...

That's because there are people like this Louis_Dobson that crooks thrive.

Here's the only kind of Orb I like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaMLNsBTbUM

skyfotos, are you replying to LaFonte or to me? If that's to me, I'll be glad to learn from you. I thought reciprocity meant a large aperture implied a short time value, and vice-versa (i. e. a...

So, LaFonte, you don't know who is shooting night scenes in ISO 100? Let me answer that for you: EVERYONE who shoots static objects at night with a tripod, or want streaking effects. That's a lot...

If Fuji were interested in buying Olympus, it would be for the endoscope business, not the cameras. Fuji make X-Ray and other optical diagnosis equipment; buying Olympus would make them dominate...

Have you ever tried a serious micro 4/3 camera, Older N Dirt? If you didn't, how can you be so sure about entry-level DSLRs superiority? Just because they are DSLRs? Because of sensor size? I have...

This is a must-read for those who doubt Michael C. Woodford's integrity: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/the-story-behind-the-olympus-scandal-02162012.html

I have an E-P1. I agree with you when you say it is no substitute for a DSLR for professional purposes, but that was not Olympus's intention anyway. However, I think the E-P1 compares favourably to...

Please don't react badly, but I actually find some of the art filters very interesting. I only use two of them with my E-P1- pop art and grainy film - and not very often. Even though I shoot mainly...

Interestingly, once I commented that pros tend to shoot jpegs, because in some shooting circumstances there's no time to wait for the data to write down to the memory card. I got this impression...
