Nothing to see here...

Nikon you didn't need feedback to know that you were up against the likes of sony etc and with hyping the way you were (wasn't there like x3 teaser 'trailers' ha ha. They are cameras, not a movie...

This isn't my lens, a colleagues. It needed to be fixed with an optical bench. This is common with a lot of ultra wide lenses. Stopping down to f/11 at least can be required with some.

Lens with severe FC This is just rough, done quickly but it's what roger recommended to me and it's been working well to diagnose faults. This particular lens, the Irix 15mm, has very noticable FC, ...

You are not alone. Most of the time, they do not want to open your lens up. The probably loose money doing it, but I'd accept the charge even if it was doubled if they just fixed the issue and ...

A better test for these issues rather than a brick wall (I spoke to roger at lens rentals about a problem I had) is a field with a treeline on the horizon, we can then see the plane of focus ...

I've owned both the 14-24mm 2.8G and the tamron 15-30mm 2.8 G1, the tamron is a lot sharper than the nikon at the edge frames in real world landscape usage (especially at infinity distances) ...

Why is it with this particular forum, any critical viewpoint is complaining? It's interesting and at the same time slightly sad.

People often hand you free food in the street do they? Regardless of that interesting titbit of information, this is more about the fact that flickr users had 1TB of storage before, pro memberships ...

Not caught at all, I have stuff sufficiently backed up, but it's all a loss - many will just close their accounts or let their account be culled etc, leaving dead links and loss of userbase. It is ...

Obviously, that is what facebook is basically for. To engage and audience and drive traffic to your site. It's not a portfolio platform and I think everyone knows that.

Yup, I think most would rather have that, most photographers are on facebook, and other social media.

I use 500PX but for me it's more a "best shots" type deal, especially with that "pulse" system they have over there. Flickr is IMO less portfolio like and more a catalogue and backup, with groups ...

Flickr isn't really for portfolios. It's for all the other stuff too...the in between shots and the like. It's a backup and was free til now for 1tb. So...whichever way you slice that it's a ...

On my 2k monitor I feel the res is fine currently so that is a moot point for me. I heard no one was using flickr for videos! Another moot point. I had a feeling smug mug would be bad news for ...

I was sad to read this today: https://petapixel.com/2018/11/01/flickr-limits-free-plan-to-1000-photos-upgrades-pro-members/ 1000 photos limit unless you pay. Everyone will have an opinion on this, ...

This. ^

Yes but I think this is the wider point many are making. Go on and better the 300mm 2.8? Go on and better the 105mm 1.4? What is it about these lenses that leaves you wanting? What else could you ...

Why does it matter if you are just going to use them and never sell them? (Like me, plus the years of use I've gotten out of them?) Haha, did you just call the D810 obsolete? Say that again, I ...

I do not need anything more than I currently have. The glass I have and the bodies just give what I need. The other stuff are just little bells and whistles; not game changers and nothing that is ...
