Yes, by all means, carry a Lenspen. It's still one of the most useful pieces of cleaning equipment.

With a 15m rating I wouldn't take that thing into a puddle, let alone doing anything that could be considered "underwater". If you manage to drown it in a swimming pool, service will probably laugh...

My D7000 is going for readjustment for the second time now, with quite massive front focus. The first time around, Nikon service apparently swapped the entire mirror assembly for free out of...

@bizi "How much money we can extract from the rich idiot demography?", asked by every CEO ever.

At least it doesn't seem to be an Android failure like that last attemt at a not-a-phone-cameraphone.

For outdoors, I keep the camera on its built-in daylight WB setting. That produces an initial colour rendition that I find easy to work with. If you find anything off, you can easily fix it in post...

"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...
