OK, thanks for confirming. I have manual focus assist turned on so I will know if the focus ring gets moved. I've been able to avoid inadvertent movement so far.

What I'm trying to get at is...........is DMF is AF-S with the ability to tweak with manual? eg. If I'm in DMF, I halfway shutter, it focuses then I release the shutter without touching the focus ...

Is there any advantage to using AF-S over DMF with back focus? Isn't AF-S the same as DMF if you decide not to manually focus after? Mostly use Flexible Spot but often keep it in the center, back ...

This is the HS version. Is the older non HS version worth it? This is what I'm looking at for around 65 CAD. I thought Sigma lenses didn't adapt as well as Canon but maybe I'm wrong. I meant the ...

It's $220 CAD but that ones upgradeable. I was planning on getting the cheaper one which retails for about 140 but out of stock right now. I see one on eBay for 70 but will probably negotiate ...

I'm looking at this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Fotodiox-Pro-Fusion-Adapter-Mount/dp/B00D9BKLX8 I also see a Commlite available second hand for about the same price. Do I need to look for specific ...

Thanks for the replies. I will probably only get the Canon 10-18  for this adapter and I can't even use that on my DSLR so likely will stick to the cheaper adapter like the Fotodiox Fusion Pro. I ...

Hi. Thought I'd piggyback here rather than start a new thread. Sorry if it's not appropriate. I currently have a a6000 with a Rokinon 12mm and a Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 for Nikon that I have an adapter ...

I use Luminar 4 as it was on sale with the Humble Bundle and it suits my purposes normally. If it's better to convert to tiff first, what's the best raw to tiff converter? Thanks.

It's just fine for me for my other photos (daytime landscape or cityscape mostly) but I guess it just won't do if I want to take more night photos. Thanks.

What's the best way to start with the minimal / most neutral amount of adjustments?

First time editing night photos in Luminar 4. I have dark cloudy skies which are black when viewing the RAW and the camera JPEG. As soon as I load it into Luminar I get all sorts of dots no matter ...

Due to limited budget I was able to get this lens at a reasonably affordable price, around $180 CAD. Next step up would I assume be one of Nikon 10-24, Tamron 10-24 VC, Tokina 11-16 or 11-20. Would ...

I was shooting with the Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 on a D5200. I shot RAW then let Luminar do some AI processing with one of its presets. Seeing the results from Topaz, I experimented some more with ...

Sorry and thanks for being patient. I mean zooming in to the picture when I look at on my PC.

Thanks for the analysis and advice. I'll give these a try.

Guess my questions doesn't have to do with shooting an uwa specifically. More like I just started shooting with an uwa so I'm shooting more landscapes and more landscapes at a greater distance. At ...

I'm also wondering if there are sharpness issues whether it's because of my setup. I've seen full size images of objects at similar distances where they seem sharper to me zoomed in. Even if i ...

Hi. I am trying to improve my landscape photography with an ultra wide angle. I just don't know how sharp a picture I am capable of......zooming in to such a wide picture will make things look ...

Well now the price has gone down to $420 CAD so tempting me even more.....decisions, decisions!
