Did it ever occur to you that perhaps white males were the ones doing the discriminating...?

Yes. This is the only thing I find "equivalents" useful for--true comparisons.

But they only work when we are able to derive the relative combination of sensor area & aperture area. I think...

Leave it to a photography site to confuse aperture & f-number.

Especially if the sensor is smaller and remains "wide angle," since then, the lens needs to have a smaller effective focal length. ...

Yes: for the OP, this is due to the logarithmic nature of relative values: stops are always relative to other stops rather than absolute. So (easy example), an aperture is the diameter of the ...

whoops!  just re-read what I wrote, you're correct.  I was referring to the increments rather than the effects.  :)

Just to tack on to others' answers: 1 stop = double (or half) brightness / meter. One way to think about this:  1 stop is: (1) For shutter speed, double/half the shutter speed.  Example:  If you start ...

It does.

That's good.  If you like vintage lenses, I have two recommendations that I own: (1) Nikkor (Nikon) AI (or pre-AI) 50mm F/1.4 (2) Voigtlander Nokton 58mm F/1.4 SL-II

Face detection doesn't work in OVF with AF-C.

Easy. Don't use live view.  Use AF-C;  21-point AF area; back-button focus, Cf shutter. Works brilliantly. See my post here .

Welcome to the current state of photography news here.

"Disgruntled former Google employee whose projects failed (eg. Google+) praises his former work, criticizes ex-employer's current direction. ...

If you want equal DoF and the same shutter time, the two systems can end up giving you similar performance. Yes, the VR will make the difference, if the subject is not in motion. One thing I think ...

The letters are mainly different features / compatibilities. Some will be completely irrelevant to you in a full manual, mirrorless scenario. For example, auto-indexing. SLRs keep the lenses wide ...

With respect, don't you find this statement hypocritical? Just a few posts ago, you said there is no difference between m43 and Full-Frame.  Now, you seem to be downplaying the difference between ...

Hello.  :) The sensor is not half.  It's half as wide & half as tall = 1/4th as much area.  This is why there is a 2 stop difference.  The difference between FF & APS-C or APS-C & m43 is about half ...

Here is a comparison of ISO 3200 from the original Canon 5D (released in 2005) to the latest & greatest m43. This is so long ago that m43 didn't even exist at the time--it wasn't released until ...

I do not, but it doesn't seem particularly bad; and it's easily (and automatically) corrected on the camera or in software. Also note that the 20mm F/1.8 and 16-35mm F/4 have almost the same ...

I didn't follow that thread, but what was posted that is so bogus and wrong? Here are my 2 cents on the topic. There is a big difference between film & digital process flow and how ISO plays a ...

Why?  Those threads come up all the time, and usually have the same issues. (1) People may confuse causality with correlation (2) People may misunderstand ...

Makes sense.  Maybe check out the NPS website for tips?  But I unfortunately don't think there's much you can do.  The AF module is only getting a small fraction of the already limited light--I ...
