Paint chips could be doing the same thing, using a mix of pigments to simulate another frequency. Watch what goes in the paint at your local paint shop. They usually add a mixture of pigments to ...

You never know what pigments are used to make the paint swabs.  They could be different tints like what is used in a hardware store when you buy paint.  You will be getting a mixture of light ...

Kalpanika can do that for you. It was built by Roland, a long time member of this forum who got tired of all the bitching about SPP and tried to make an alternative. Sigma gave him zero help but ...

The Sigma looks terrible in that comparison.  Green snow, blotchy colours in the branches. Jan

In the fourth image the H version actually seems a tad sharper.  Its also the slowest shutter, though still pretty fast. I always try to brace my DP2M if at all possible to get the very best out of ...

Maybe I'm going blind but I find the "distant clarity" about the same. The lens on the DP2s does seem to bloom around highlights more. Jan

Not really, but on reflection using an apsc sensor sized camera will require more images to mosiac because most flat field lenses are 50mm or longer, so will act as a telephoto lens on an apsc ...

I noticed that someone in Vancouver has posted a FP for sale, $1675.CAD, or under $1300.USD on Craigslist. I have no connection to the sale or the person selling it.  I'm just posting to alert ...

Hi Don, I have one and it really is a do it  all camera, with every little toy known to man installed in it. I liked its wide angle and normal angle shots a lot, but I was always slightly ...

Good thread. Exposure is critical.  The meter in the camera will not give you the proper exposure.  Buy an incident light meter, or get a Kodak 18% grey card and take a reflective reading off that. ...

Film Leica M3 ds with 50 Summilux.  Sharp, contrasty, wonderful to hold. Rollei 35T.  Pictures as nice as the M3 but awkward to hold.  Took it everywhere. Digital Pentax K100D.  Lovely colours from ...

Neighbour's house after a big snowfall. Jan

Stunning! Jan

Thanks Jeffry, Good to know it wasn't sinister and he is being taken care of.  Hopefully he'll be up and shaking his cane at us "kids" in no time. Jan

Magic images. They are an inspiration for me. Jan

Great classic poses! Jan

Thanks Ted but I figured it out.  I went to the parent site and worked my way down to it, and it worked OK, after a bit of windows nannying. Jan

Tried to download. Said it was downloading the exe but "Unconfirmed 700445.crdownload" is what was actually saved. Windows 10 ? Jan

Still don't get it.

I don't get your analogy. Its not like that at all. If the OP likes owning something unique and special, he should keep it. The joy of owning my Leica lasted for 50 years, until 3 years ago, so I ...
