  • In absolute terms, that's true. That certainly depends. Yes ... at their minimum focusing distance. That can mean one hell of a difference. If you can only go so close, the 105 mm may have a...
  • Their "Odin" is full TTL, and there are other - even more affordable - alternatives, if you don't need TTL.
  • It can be done, but requires software: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-21564_102-547699/can-i-recover-data-from-a-mac-hard-drive-to-a-pc/ You could also download a Linux, e.g. Ubuntu, that can be run...
  • Spot meters require some experience, unless you have an 18 % grey card to measure off. An incident meter isn't always practical, but when it can be used, results are closer to what your eye sees...

    It can be very difficult to prevent sideways movement with a monopod. With long tele lenses you will also find it hard not to raise and lower the aiming point. Manfrotto have made an accessory with...
  • Wideangle lenses are usually of retrofocus design, i.e. a "telelens facing the wrong direction". This is because otherwise there's not enough room for a mirror. Obviously, it's very difficult to...
  • In reality, it's the other way around. Instead of extending the lens, the focus system works halfway like a zoom, reducing the focal length to focus at shorter distances while keeping the extension...
  • Just be glad that he chose the Danish postal service ... or the video might have been considerably longer.

  • Replied in How about this?
    On IF lenses, focusing is not done by extending the lens, but rather by changing the focal length of the lens. This is another thing you have to take into consideration - and no DoF calculator...
  • Replied in Nonsense
    Nah, just you. You don't get clean by washing yourself in other people's dirt. There's nothing wrong with your comparative test of the two formats ... except that you try to use a strict...
  • Replied in Nonsense
    Practice what you preach :-)   That's the pot calling the kettle Black.   No, DoF is not a mathematical formula - you only use formulas to get an approximate idea of what the DoF will be. The...
  • Possibly because the circle of confusion isn't a fixed value anyway. It could be that you haven't seen all - or that it's not worth the trouble since ... see above. Not distance? Let me answer...
  • But it does. Just like grain size did in film. It's all about sharpness. There is one - and only one - plane of focus. DoF is the perception of sharpness, where there is actually a slight...
  • I  put the ~ there, because you can't have the same number of pixels and the same pixel size on the two formats, and both have an influence on the perceived DoF. Actually, it's at shorter...
  • All APS-C does is crop.For a given magnification at the sensor plane and a given aperture, DoF is ~ identical.--Ceterum censeo soleam calidam ISO esse delendam.
  • I'm not a hunter - nor will I ever be one ... but while I have no Nikon gear, I certainly won't let their manufacturing of rifle scopes stand in the way of me buying, say, a Nikon D800E at some...

  • Sony should have equiped the A99 and later bodies with a separate connector for their microphones. What the hell were they thinking when they decided to turn a perfectly good flash mount into a...
  • By contrast, I would  now need adapters for my relatively new flashes (compared to all the old stuff I'm now supposed to be happy that I can finally use) and my very new Phottix TTL flash trigger....
  • A fast(ish) 45-135 mm (corresponding to ~ 70-200 mm on full frame in terms of FoV) would be appreciated. Possibly f/4 to keep it ligth and small - after all, the NEX series are not low-light action...
  • As long as there are alternatives, no-one is safe.
