I saw where Voightlander just came out with a 21mm 3.5 for Sony. I will be curious to read upcoming reviews. Their 15mm lens has been a good performer, a prime I have my eyes on. I really like the ...

I think many of us enjoy the convenience of zooms when traveling. I have finally decided on a travel kit of an a7 iii with the 24-105 G lens and an a7r ii with the 16-35 4.0. Actually for the ...

I have now read tons of reviews for both lenses and I am going to get the 4.0 version. I am also going to get the FE 35 2.8 prime. I could care so little about the current 1.4 prime lens fad. I am ...

I actually did read that review and read it again using your link. He has some great shots so his opinion is very qualified in my view. When I was reading it my thoughts were the 16-35 4.0 would ...

A friend of mine who is a photographer said he has heard from a camera rep that the a7r iii is really a tripod camera. I have heard that it is tougher to get hand held sharp files with larger ...

I am sure I am not the first person debating about which of those two lenses to buy. Most of what I will do will be for my travel website (link below) and I think the 10-18 on the a6500 will do ...

I am planning on getting the 24-105. Before I sold my a7r iii I had the Sony 24-105 on my a6300 and a Canon 16-35 4.0 lens with metabones adaptor on the a7r iii. I now have the a6500 as well and a ...

Brian, Thanks for the compliment. I need to remove some of my photos as too many similar shots and some are over processed. My website is still a work in progress. I had an a7r iii and sold it. For ...

My goal is to be able to occasionally produce a large canvas print up to 60"x40" to display in my home. I have already had a thread asking about being able to print that large with 24 megapixels. ...

I need to research the web host limitations. The photos I stressed about were the couple I used as a splash background (I am only using one splash background picture for the photo gallery page, ...

Thanks. The photos in the slide show on the home page were not processed with DXO. I will try resizing to something larger, providing there will be no issues with Weebly. I have Capture 11 Pro, ...

I have been using DXO recently and am trying to figure out best way to prepare photos for my website. When processing the photos I use 300 dpi, 1080 max pixel width or length, and bicubic sharper. ...

Very strange as my yahoo news feed showed an article where Sony has a roadmap for 12 new lenses. I checked DPReview to see if more information and there was none. So I thought I would post the ...

What was strange then is the star ratings I used in ACR showed up in the DXO browser and I was able to filter the files based on those ratings. Gary

Thanks. I think I will end up buying the program after my trial. A pleasant surprise is when selecting some of my old raw galleries DXO showed the ratings I used with ACR and seemed to retain the ...

Yep, from playing around with some photos I figured out micro contrast worked similar to clarity. Thanks.

I can see where Clearview would help on outdoor shots. Playing with my trial version using Clearview seemed to change skin tones a little (I used a shot inside a church of a family baptism) where ...

I know my best bet is to get on their forum but for some reason I am having trouble registering for it. I downloaded the trial version and saw some things I really liked. I was very pleased to see ...

Thanks, I will take a look at those programs. A feature Affinity lacks that rules the product out for me is the ability to rate files. I can do this with Elements. Capture Pro will be my workhorse ...

I have had very little trouble with Windows 10 on a variety of computers with viruses. Kindle app works great as well. I did order a Surface Pro and now I am debating about selling my HP Spectre. ...
