Thank you Westerner. I really appreciate your analysis.What would you say about the Nikon 18-135 in this comparison?Massao

Wow, this is the first time I heard that one. Cropping would really be an amateur way of getting shallow depth of field. There would be no special lenses (for ex. 80-200 f2.8) for portraits if that...

Thanks, you were right. Had to try.....man, it's bad..lol

To check and confirm the sharpness and colors, I took two photos. One with and another without the Sony tele converter. See result. The RAW files were used, and jpeg were created (without any...

The ones with digital zoom are particularly effected with motion (it was windy), and were taken hand held (makes it worse in digital zoom obviously). I will take some shots of a static object, with...

I think often it is a matter of convenience. Many people know photography, but few EARN their bread from it. And for those who don’t make a living by taking photos, convenience does matter. Mirror...

Here are some more photos. No post processing, except the in-camera “vivid” mode, or “forest” mode, and in some cases, “digital zoom” as well. Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness—all Normal.
