Good stuff. Have fun with it. I actually bought one today together with a 67ii.. with the intention of using it primarily for portraits. Can't wait.

I happened to read this this morning.. might help: https://skrasnov.com/pentax-67/105mm-f24/ Colin

Those are pretty big questions but I'll try and get some quick ideas down in case they might help... 1. Curiosity, having something to say, having the ability to express ideas visually and a good ...

Going back to the original question.. yes, there are still professional travel photographers  but not as many as there were, or at least they're not exclusively travel as they once were but have ...

It's an extremely sharp lens and it keeps it sharpness and contrast even at close distance. The 50mm and the 90mm are my favourites in the F2 line-up and I'm definitely not a casual user. Having ...

I tried the 56mm f1.2  and the 50mm f2 and I went with the 50mm.  Apart from it being smaller and quicker to focus (and weather-sealed), I also liked the focal length and found that when stopped ...

Thanks Ashley.. super helpful as always. It looks good, better than I'd expected. I'm  changing my MF system from Bronica to Hasselblad at the moment which opens a whole new world of ...

Hi Ashley.. at the risk of going off topic, I'm curious to know how much movement you can get with that 50mm Distagon when shooting digital. I love the idea of a Flexbody. With 6x6 film I figured ...

AS Roland says, it's the shift that keeps things parallel, not the tilt. The 'taller tripod' thing isn't how it works. With a shift lens you're effectively looking up (or down or sideways) without...

It's probably something you need to try out for yourself to understand the advantages. It's certainly not complicated. Shift lenses are super-easy to use; level your camera and adjust your...

Thanks for the response Craig. Yes, my gut feeling is also battery contacts in the D850. I'll try cleaning them as you suggest. Thanks again, Colin

I recently had a problem with my D850 that left me scratching my head so I was curious to see if anyone else has had the same issue. My camera was left for 2 weeks switched off with a charged ...

Here are some I've used here in Italy: https://www.rcefoto.com/articoli-usati-disponibili-negozi-rce/ https://www.tuttofoto.com/catalogo-su-it.html https://www.virtualfoto.it/gb/209-usato https://w ...

Nice work Ashley... also on your site. That 90mm does look good. It's on my shopping list! C.

Funnily enough I was trying out some of these lenses last week, looking for a nice combination for portraits. Here’s a quick summary of what I found… The 56 f1,2 is lovely and has a certain magic ...

At the risk of seeming pernickety, Bronica was Japanese, not European ;-)

Just out of interest, I'm a left eye shooter and love the X-Pros as they leave me more space to reach the controls on the right side of the camera. The X-Ts are too tight for me. I've recently ...
