There can be more to wide angle corner resolution than any field curvature. A circle in the centre of the frame is reproduced as a circle - with any focal length. A circle in the frame corner is ...

As of now we do not have a Z9 specification - so the logic that R3 is "better" if ever 100% accurate may collapse. For press work of sports events where time is critical most cameras have an option ...

The Z6 has only 1 card slot. When you get one you need a suitable card. If getting the Z6 is several months away I would not spend $170 now. I would wait until nearer the purchase date and look at ...

Experimenting with 2 flood lights to illuminate a landscape. I must find out more about the portable lights. The lights were about the size of a large flash head with barn doors - and the battery ...

The 300 is obviously distinctly smaller - with a much lower price point. The 300 has much "closer" focussing with 0.24 magnification. Near macro is relatively easy with a TC-14E. The 500 is 0.18 - ...

Everybody uses their camera in an individual way. Leading lines in a subject can enhance a photo. I use U3 to help identify leading lines in a scene. To do this U3 is set to black and white, high ...

Interesting - I assume you mean OK if controlling issues within the central part of the image. For this I find a significant pol variation in the vertical position between near the skyline and the ...

I am not sure why there is a reference to using polarisers. A full pol effect right across the frame is scientifically impossible for reflections wider than 24mm on 24x36 format and for colour ...

Specifically Nikon - a lens that does not perform when received by the customer as well as when it came off the assembly line. Nikon in their lens brochures say they check all lens functions at ...

If you have the FTZ and buy an 80-400 F second hand on resale you should not loose a lot of money. The 100-400 S might have a street discount 12 months after launch.

Overall (as distinct from everything) this is the best macro lens out of 20+ that I have owned in around 35 years - including lenses like the Olympus 80mm. I agree the 105 lacks the narrow angle of ...

There are 2 versions of the 28mm - the difference probably been no more than the cosmetic finish on the SE version as part of a Zfc kit.

The D500 AF - set up appropriately for BIF - is good. Set up inappropriate AF in any system can produce poor AF accuracy - particularly;arly with fast moving subjects.

If the "littlest of fungus" is in the cement between a group of elements - assuming the element group is available as a spare - the repair cost could be close to $500. If the fungus has etched into ...

In the UK the HB-84 is £54.99.

Your gear list shows 1 Nikon lens - the 300 f2.8 - and an Olympus 4:3 body with a Panasonic 100-400. At 400mm on 4:3 you have an angle of view close to 800mm on 24x36 format. With the 500 PF on a ...

Ideally you need to find out the cost of having the lens cleaned - and then to get it for less than a good price that is lower than second hand less the cost of cleaning. Depending on how much and ...

The USA pricing seems to be $599 without sales tax - implying the UK price is not excessive for a zoom.

VR performance probably has improved. I recall Nikon mentioning of VR2 that VR could now detect lower frequency vibration. VR efficiency has improved over recent years as not so long ago 5 or 5.5 ...

I expect the 200-600 before April next year, buy not this year. Why not buy a second hand 200-500? You would have less depreciation assuming you trade up to the 200-600 when it arrives. The 200-500 ...
