  • Thorium-coated lenses turn yellow over time, which explains the problems with blues. But the 'radioactivity' is only present for about an inch or two behind the lens, and even then the amount...

  • Created user review Impressions from a Salesman
    I should begin by saying that I have not taken this camera home, and have only used it in the store. But since I work in the store, I have had a lot of time to play with it. Since there are...
  • The D800 already has a great reputation among fine-art photographers for its dynamic range and colour, which I've heard is "as good as a Pentax D645" by someone that owns both. He further claims...

  • You missed something. Some people carry tripods, and only shoot during the day. Other people are just really patient.

    You gotta' pay an awful lot more to get a just little bit more back ......

  • You continue to make the biggest, and worst assumption of all: that what is is what will be. Your problem is that no matter what you know, how much you read, how much you consider yourself an...

  • Microlenses can never be turned off? Bah. A microlens is designed to scatter night in a certain pattern. Many high-end homes feature special windows which act normally, but when a switch is...

  • Commented on Is Instagram 'debasing photography'? news story

    This debate is uneccessary. It only happens because people think Instagram is a creative tool. It is not. You see more-or-less the same filters used every time, because 'old' is in right now -...

  • The strength of the gasketing, and how resistant they are to giving way, generally only matters when there is (A) water pressure, such as when submerged, or (B) when the seals have weakened due to...
  • Commented on The One-Light Studio article

    At the higher end of the market, most 'professional photographers' have been letting assistants and second shooters do the bulk of their work for decades. "Professional photography" is unaffected...

  • I wish it were exaggerated :( Then again, I also know a guy with a 'fully sealed' pro body (Canon, if it matters) that dropped it in swamp water, and then figured, "What the hell, I have the...
  • I know this was a few pages ago, and somebody already got my back (thanks!), but I still think I ought to reply.As a "photography professor" (thanks for the quotes, by the way), I happen to be...
