Find the review a bit strange - seems like someone wanting the 2.8/100mm STF to be a 1.8/85mm lens - which it is not...

No - you do tracked and untracked, you just expand your horizon...

And Sony will punch back - that moment things become really exiting! Brand names can be quite resistent so no surprise if both Canon and Nikon mirrorless do well - even if (note the word if) ...

But still we see, and the cognitive processing makes us see what we see - even ghosts and flying saucers if wanted - regardless of the "true" nature of the world... Used my 7x50 binoculars at close ...

For wide angle photography a camera with a wide angle to normal lens is commonly used. Usually getting a fast lens, like f/1.4 is a boon, but slower lenses work too. Some basics (maybe too basic, ...

And the next one out is Canon - then we get some serious competition and my next Sony will be better than my existing one ... that is about all there is about it.

Physical aperture is the key to DOF (the quality of the bokeh will vary but basically DOF is DOF anyway). Divide the focal lenght by the f/number to get the physical aperture. 75mm / 2.8 = 26.8mm ...

So you are still shooting photographic film? My cameras have an electronic image sensor, lots of electronics, and the image output is to other electronic devices... This thread IS funny, and what ...

And human vision is also very much based upon experience and expectation, filtering out less important information and enhancing more important information. Vision is cognition at work, and that ...

Have the 4/24-105 and the 4/24-70. Not that miåuch difference in real life use, the corners of the 4/24-70 is a bit weaker. Am keeping the 4/24-70 because it is handy, light weight and compact. And ...

Have been using Canon intervallometers for some years, +30C to -30C for hours, they have been dewed down, frozen over and still only one glitch - simply had to clean the battery and the contacts. D ...

Well - most customers buying a camera are not a pro (despite some thinking that they are at least as good as professionals - but some actually are)... Why should Sony users switch to a Nikon - too ...

We all had to start somewhere! Get familiar with the star tracker, point it towards Polaris (for wide angle and normal lenses just use the peephole and center Polaris - not perfect but still very ...

Have been using the 4/24-105 G for a while now. Terrific sharpness and contrast for a zoom lens, not too limited range, and f/4 is only one ISO stop from f/2.8. For portraits I often use f/4 at ...

Find it extremely convenient to strech my low light shooting 4-5 stops with OSS+IBIS. In low light I usually take a few exposures to be sure one is as sharp as needed. Have a lot more low light ...

Clear weather here - excactly zero meteors captured (might hide some faint and feeble in my data but none of the good ones). My usual meteor luck - still happy with a fine and calm and mild and ...

Oh - have been away for a couple of days, walking in the mountains and ouside any internet connection - real life can be incredibly rewarding! So had more important things to do than to feed sour ...

For nightscapes (astrophotography does not include the landscape) the sweet spot seems to be clustered around the 1.4/24mm lens (collects relatively much light, can expose for 15 sec before star ...

Really. We all have to start somewhere. Did not mention starting a career, even amateurs have to start somewhere...

This is a very fine image - used to live at the coast and love salt water and lighthouses - now settled far from sea spray in the woods... Would personally tone it down, looks more like early ...
