Actually there is a good case for saying that modern CAD lenses are perhaps too sharp. Some express this by saying they are clinically sharp and therefore unflattering towards their subjects. I'm...

I am not he but I'll take a stab at answering. It is certainly feasible to build a faster zoom after all Olympus has already done that with the original 4/3 system, but take a look at the size and...

Shame you can't choose all the first 4.

Most of my work flow for stills was done using a combination of LR and PSCS5 using plugins. So as I now don't trust a word Adobe say I don't want to get too...

So true!

Amazon hosts Adobe's cloud.

Nice work as always. By the way just saw an Olympus ad in the British Journal of Photography that used one of your images. Nice one!:-)

Well I rang Adobe today about this and explained my situation and was told that I would not be a suitable customer for the new subscription model. So make of that what you will. The manager I spoke...

My fundamental problem with this is internet access. Where I live we don't have broadband we just have a very shonky dial up of 33K on a good day. During summer we can loose that for weeks at a...

Yes the viewfinder enables you to pre-chimp. It is the thing I like the most about EVFs. The VF2 is older technology compared to that of the A99 so the screen is grainier and a bit less responsive,...

Yes there is http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisbainbridge1/6350315773/ http://www.flickr.com/groups/voigtlander/discuss/72157627289673754/ You can get them from...

I like photographing the native terrestial orchids of Western Australia. They're quite rare, many localised to a very small region, and will only bloom given the right conditions. It's a...

I've retired from professional photography now, but during my working life I never had a client ask me about the kit I used to make an image. It's not what you've got it's what you do with it that...

You want 35'cron performance but you don't want to pay sumicron prices. So your options are to stump up the cash and move system, use what  there is, or just whine on forums. Me I quite like my 17...

Noice :-) When you get back to Oz have a look for a book by Makoto Kubota called Sumo. I think you'd really enjoy it after shooting these.

If you look at the area round the tripod bushing you can see the imprint of a quick release head and some minor pitting. I'm guessing again that this guy bolted a gritty Q/R down pretty tight to...

It looks like mechanical abrasion me as the actual metal is scratched. If it were chemically removed then the surface would still be smooth. I would hazard a guess that as the owner wears the...

Let's be honest ALL digital cameras are now consumer appliances. They are designed for mass production and consumption. I don't see it as a bad thing, it's just how things are nowadays. When I...

It's really a matter of personal philosophy. Some people are prime only, some are zoom only, and then there are the agnostics who like a combination. I fall into the later.

Nice work with the vid. I checked out your 500pix site and you've got some really stuff up.
