Here in Canada we're constantly force-fed Brian Adams' photography, and quite frankly the guy's portraits are not very good.

A good portrait evokes a sense of who the subject is. Adams does the...

I'm just saying: an 18-35 zoom range is nothing to write home about. May as well get the fixed focal length 24mm that's 2/3 stops faster, as well as being smaller, lighter and (probably) optically...

I think the price, size and weight are going to be deal-breakers for me.

Quite frankly, if I were in the market for something like this I would spend the extra money for the Nikon 24mm f/1.4, and...

There are many, many photographers for whom Black and White film shot with a view camera and developed by the photographer himself is photography in its purest form.

A few pointers (I haven't read all the messages, and I'm probably repeating what everyone else has suggested). Don't be afraid to stop down to f/22 or f/32 to get the DOF you want. You will lose...

Nikon D3200 body with the 70-300 VR.

Henry's seems to have them: http://www.henrys.com/Categories/654-Prime-Lenses-SAMSUNG.aspx/1/80000010%5eSAMSUNG Vistek...

Yes. If you already have a lot of Nikon gear and want something smaller there's no compelling reason to go Micro 4/3, unless that's what you really want. I bought a Samsung NX210 with a 30mm...

You can see on my examples that the 30mm still underexposes by 1/3 stop compared to the 18-55mm. You can also see the greenish cast under artificial light and manual WB with both lenses.

There's something fishy about your two photos. Either your 18-55mm is a really bad sample or there's some sort of technique issue at play here. There's about a 1/3 stop difference in exposure,...

I have had my NX210 for a couple of months now and shot over 700 frames with the 30 and the 18-55. I have had only one instance of lens flare and it was with the 30mm. And even there I had to shoot...

I really wish people would stop obsessing about "IQ". The differences between the 30mm and 18-55mm set at 30mm are so small that they are practically irrelevant in real-world photography. Even...

The national brands like HP and Dell will entice customers with a faster CPU and more RAM at an attractive price point compared to a clone. However, the quality of the power supply and mechanical...

I use Linux for almost all of my photographic needs. Then again I don't need anything more than AfterShot Pro and the GIMP. Printer support in Linux is pretty good with CUPS (which Apple bought out...

Just saw the 50-200mm on sale at Black's (Canada) for $200. Is it a good buy? How easy is it to use with just the live view?

Actually the Pentax photo seems to have something of a greenish cast to it (look at the yellows if you don't believe me).

Actually, no. Any mid-range or better Nikon APS-C DSLR can use almost any Nikon SLR lens manufactured after about 1970 (you can use older lenses too, but they have to be retrofitted to get the...

Yes. It's been over 7 years since Canon introduced the 5D. And entry-level 135-frame cameras like the Canon 6D and Nikon D600 still cost $1,800. Compare that to entry level APS-C DSLRs like the...

Ken Rockwell and Luminous Landscape have much better web sites. It's only a matter of time before they draw all the advertising and click-through revenue away from Thom Hogan. Unless he...

I'm not sure why anyone would spend even a microsecond worrying at all about this alleged "problem". The example in the link above was just bad technique: the photographer shooting into a light...
