"Dislike" buttons are hard. Stackexchange did theirs in a way that actually consumes user "score", so if you vote something down you actually pay for it. Same goes for upvotes, but much less...

Have you ever gone through the "fresh" stream? There's little focus on quality really. It's as much a deluge of mediocrity, just as every other place out there.

Sure, the streams get better on the...

I'm pretty much returning to Flickr after having used 500px for a short time. 500px appears to be a rather gimmicky site without a real "killer feature" or a pleasant userbase. Most comments I got...

Just don't buy poaching scopes then.

At a lower price and with an (optional) full-featured EVF, that'd be a definite maybe. Nikon needs to talk to Olympus about that and maybe do some licensing.

As it stands, it's just another...

@mgblack, in the picture it's using the wire remote port on the camera, in this case a pretty stupid connection that can't do more than provide a two-stage trigger.

The USB port is behind the...

I'm missing a contoured thumb-rest, which the optional battery grip actually has, and which would help a lot, especially with heavier lenses.

Apart from that, the more clunky Nikon style generally...

mgrum, wouldn't that mean that you'd just end up with something that's (almost) as heavy and almost as expensive as an FX lens, but would make you buy new glass if you ever decided to go FX?

For...

I'm not sure if fast DX primes would be a mechanical advantage over FF. Their build is limited by the rather huge entrance pupil which requires big, heavy front elements, and I guess especially...

Even declaring this a professional accessory would not justify the hideously excessive price. Realistically, one should expect such a device to cost maybe 50-150 USD/EUR/GBP.

Trends come and go, and (like you probably), I doubt that there's anything like a design that will remain en vogue forever. However, at the moment, there's a strong market for stuff that looks old,...

Well-maintained leather is pretty much impervious to normal water exposure. See shoes and saddles for example.

I guess to score below 60%, the device would need to be from a company with a public advertising and sales block for dpreview or their parent company (last I checked that was Amazon, so we can be...

It boils down to the simple question, "why buy what you can have for free (or at least a lot cheaper than retail)?"

With the heaps and heaps of interchangeable rubbish compacts being spewed into...

The aperture calculation sounds wrong to me. The article says:

"The end result is a 53.25mm equivalent lens that gives the same depth-of-field as an F1.5 lens would on a full frame camera."

How...

Well, it's a particular piece of kit that would absolutely be in my budget, but which I can't seem to get "on-brand". Sigma has something in that range, but they have that certain stigma (pun not...

The new lens weighs only a bit over half as much as the 17-35/2.8 and is more than a centimetre shorter.

On the downside it's a tad longer and heavier than the (clutch AF) lens it's replacing, so...

@ZAnton Nikon only relatively recently updated their "normal prime" offerings, and from the looks of it, the driving factor behind that was the missing AF motor in a lot of bodies they had sold....

So far so uninteresting. A slow wide zoom and a purely professional lens.

I have been talking quite a bit with a friend who's going to get Canon equipment, and honestly, Nikon has a lot of...
