I normally skip comments like this, but it really is terrible.

I hope you're kidding.

I was there...they weren't that different.

Yep.

Mcshan -I spaced out plenty at 16...perhaps you were the exception.

Just wanted to point out the the atmospheric condition that causes the most problems with telephoto lenses is heat-distortion -or more properly when hot air mixes with cooler air, and the rays ...

Louie -I didn't bring up film -you did: "There is a reason why a lot of photography curriculum in college still offers film photography...." Which you followed with the beginning of your treatise...

louie...I had 3 years of photography, with an excellent teacher, in the late 60s -you're preaching to the choir.
"One of the exercises every student has to do in school was using different focal...

You're referring to art photography, prof -and many art photographers had techs doing the drudge work in the lab. Meat and potatoes photogs left the darkroom behind as soon as they were busy enough...

You started with an arguable point -that a manual film camera *can* (depending on the student) help cement notions like iso, aperture, shutter speed, exposure, and darkroom techniques; then your...

"And one should question why a Sony user would even comment on a lens outside of their ecosystem."
Just like you do on every Sony article?

That lens was made by Kiron -and came in other mounts. I've read it is the same as the equivalent Vivitar Series-1 lens, as well.

"Zeee, I wasn't saying you wouldn't have your image files. I was saying you wouldn't have the software itself."
So what? I have *thousands* of dollars in legacy software, that I still own, that are...

It was my understanding that the problem with LR Classic is legacy-code issues, moving forward; and that the new Lightroom is the future.

Eric00 -any particular reason you would use ACR instead of Lightroom? I have both in my subscription, but have barely looked at ACR.

The usual paranoia....
*eyeroll*

Filters reduce the total amount of light, as well as alter the spectrum. That's how they work. The objective data would depend on the filter-factor of the "simple blue filter" referred to -which is...

No -Android, too.

Filters decrease the light available to the sensor, also raising noise.
I suspect there's little disadvantage to doing it in post, but neither of us has objective data.

You mean nerd jokes?
