phototransformations

Much of the preoccupation with shallow DOF seems to have been obviated by the new Blur possibilities in CS6. Don't have it yet, but it does seem to offer in post a lot of what FF can offer in the...

I still have my typewriter, an LC Smith dating from 1907! Although I agree it can't compare in image quality to my m4/3 and APS-C gear....

The original G3 came with normal dust and with the dust trapped under the SSWF filter. At first I thought it was just stuck dust and left it alone because I didn't see anything in the shots I...

If you do a test shot for dust, it's very easy to tell the difference between dust trapped _under_ the SSWF membrane, where only Olympus can get to it, and dust stuck to the surface of the...

Mine has some play -- I can wiggle it back and forth maybe 1/16th of an inch -- but I wouldn't call that a wobble and it causes no problems.

You may be lucky, or it may be that the GH2 has a different shutter than the G, GF and GX cameras and vibrates the lens elements less or differently, so the OIS works correctly with more of the X...

It's amazing what this thread has turned into. Just to reality-check my primative understanding of this equivalence business, is this about it, assuming for the sake of keeping it simple equivalent...

On these cameras it's pretty easy to tell whether the dust is on the AA filter or on the SSWF. If it's on the SSWF, it's shadow is diffuse or invisible even at f/22. If it's on the AA filter it is...

I can't recall whether there was this much fuss when APS-C came out. Was there? Were people wailing and gnashing their teeth because paper-thin DOF was harder to obtain in APS-C than FF? Were they...

The one on the right looks like normal dust on a SSWF camera. It may be stuck, but it's on the outer membrane and could be cleaned. That spec toward the left is way too small and dark and...

I don't think people are exaggerating. I have tried four copies of the 45-175, which has the same problem, and all of them had substantial blurring between the problem shutter speeds about 30% of...

Did snake finally get banned?

I am not trying to fight, as you say, but if the point I made below is the one you were trying to make... you didn't make it in your OP, whose purpose was very unclear.

I heard there wasn't any There, there.

Out of curiosity I looked at his parallel thread in the Sony forum. Apparently, by his own admission, he's been banned a couple of times...

I have no idea why you posted this on the m4/3 forum. I have a Samsung EX1, similar in nature to the XZ1. Should I go over the the Sony forum and compare it to my G3? They're different types of...

I shoot RAW + JPEG with my G3 and I often find the JPEGs slightly more satisfying than the default ACR processing of the RAW files, though of course it's easy to tweak the ACR engine to produce...

Just picked up her book, now available again on Amazon.com, after seeing a show of her work in Santa Fe last February. It's a shame she was unknown in her lifetime, though I guess that was her choice.

How strange. My first camera was also a Yashica A. I still use the 80mm 3.5 lens as a loupe 45 years later!

Your post gave no clue as to what you were looking for. Perhaps other forums will be more patient in trying to tease that out of you, but if you had made a straightforward request here, I think you...
