The astrophotographer's Noct Nikkor does make one awesome night portrait lens

I hope I can afford this for my GH1. If not, I may just get a Sony A57 and 16-50. Equivalence? Whatever... I want this lens so I can grab shots at 1/20 sec, F2.8, ISO1600+, in areas where its...

Everyone needs to use a Graflex XL. It will teach you to check everything Cock Shutter Remove Lens Cap Remove Dark Slide Push film wind release Wind Film Set Exposure and focus Fire...

Then there are the AIS lenses that do not exist in a modern form... The 13 5.6, the fisheyes, the Noct, the UV, 300 F2, etc

This guy seems to have his night street photography down to an art http://www.flickr.com/people/fodder/ This is one genre of photography where I wish m4/3 had a fast standard zoom Pushing...

In any case, don't touch the element and you wont have to clean as often. I've learned to keep my fingers far away from the business end. Learn to leave the minor marks alone

I love the twilight shots Are they HDR-ed?

equivalence matters when you're buying a lens... A 20mm, on FF is considered an UWA, on APS-C, it's barely wide

Bring it. You will be one of 100,000 people with a DSLR out Part of me thinks that there are more photographers than human subjects in this city. Going through the LES (Grand St, Orchard St,...

I think you can meter the background, lock the exposure, and the camera's TTL metering system will use the flash to properly exposure the subject for you

:( Sorry, I'm just having some selfish wishful thinking... The Nikon 1 refuses to meter with the ebay special adapters (The sensor is Super 16 sized- C mounts are a natural fit, coverage wise),...

They'll issue you gear...

I guess this is how business works Not making allegations, just my own BS Sorta relevant example: I'd LOVE for Nikon to give me some sort of stop down metering for their lower end...

+1 These are the same guys who make sure they have their cameras on their necks while roaming B&H/Adorama Cameras as a status symbol/fashion accessory... ::sigh::

It makes smug non pros feel more "pro" Seriously, any dpreviewer can recognize a Canon/Nikon/Olympus/Pentax if they saw one... you're not fooling anybody, or hiding anything

That's a tad high, but not insane Having hung out with some serious camera collectors, every scratch and dent counts. A flawless common M3 in the mid 90s would command $3000 all day long. Put in...

Panasonic's GF3 and GF5 were made for you guys Doesn't cost that much less, though Software/Firmware costs nothing (next to nothing) Most of us here are annoyed that manufacturers take away...

Wait, is the picture of the sheep the full picture, or a crop ?

Put it inside a gutted graflex?

Shoulder rig a la DSLR cinematographers?
