And still the best available control of highlights and shadows. Capture One comes close, but will cost you $300.

Numbers don't lie. It is obviously very far from a minority opinion. These stories always attract the broke and the malcontent in droves. Affinity is fine if you don't mind a truly terrible raw...

Don't subscribe, Junior, just use free/cheap software. None of it is as good as CC by a long shot, but who cares as long as your ten bucks a month stays in your pocket.

What utter rubbish.

Jesus Christ what a bunch of whiners. You don't like the subscription, don't subscribe. Simple.

Affinity? You must be joking.

Group is great.  We've got all the tools we need to get an excellent shot. No excuses!

It's all about pixels on target, and we've been there since the D7100.  3000 pixels long side gets you a nice sharp bird pic however you arrive at that number.

Ah, the Barry.  Those were the pre mod days when giants walked the earth.  Thirty thousand posts and every single one bashing one "crippled" camera brand or another in sequence.  None can compare!

You've never posted a single pic that would back up your wild claims.  Quite the reverse.

Good old Dave.  You're as predictable as the sunrise.

No 6X7 I ever shot was better than a D800.  Drum scanning just gives you a better look at the grain.

No, but I used the Nikon 35F2D for several years, which had slightly soft extreme corners at f8 while maintaining infinity focus.  A serviceably sharp lens for panos, although not as good as any ...

The correct field curvature for landscape can be of inestimable help in avoiding hyperfocal/focus stacking. With hyperfocal, the ridgeline at infinity by definition will be slightly out of focus ...

Exactly.  This is one reason the Nikon 14-24 was and is a great lens to have for full frame WA.  No need to diddle with hyperfocal.  Superwide comparison here .  Most of the newer Nikon 1.8 primes ...

I kid mft :^)

Lol, good one!

This is a procedure that all wildlife photographers do, spin the wheel right down to the minimum SS, but never should anyone start at 1/125th.  Need several in the can at 1/1000th. Because there is ...

You've got quite sufficient adjustments in Lightroom for landscape.  The LR Develop panel still has not been matched for control of highlights and shadows.

Well, Brev, there are two types of landscape photos/photographers.  On the one hand are the lone tree in the distance/ coil of rope on the dock/ silky water people, on the other the detail ...
