Hi everybody. In a bit of a snap decision, I bought an X100F that's missing the viewfinder selector/FN2 button. Now, it was a good enough deal that in the event I can't fix it, I'll just put some ...

I mean, you do you obviously, but buying a 16-80mm right after getting the 18-55 seems a little odd. It’s pretty expensive, the image quality is worse, and you lose a stop at the wide end. I ...

One unfortunate downside of modular systems is that they’re necessarily bigger than the same parts would be integrated. Just imagine a current camera but now you have to engineer two barriers and ...

Yeah, it's just a matter of whether they can shrink their tech to that level in time. Unfortunately it didn't help them that Sony has been able to do it for years. The X-H1 is a big camera, and if ...

I haven't noticed any disadvantage to not using the dedicated button setting. This is on the A7III. It's worth mentioning that the dedicated button is a holdover. EyeAF didn't used to be on anytime ...

Topaz has some pretty great products. I haven’t found much use for Gigapixel AI yet, but their denoise and sharpen programs are amazing. Especially Denoise AI, that stupid program works magic, I ...

I've been doing this for a couple of years now. First I converted my existing library to DNG, which basically halved the hard drive space it occupied. Then I started converting new photos to DNG ...

Marc Alhadeff tested most lenses available for Sony to determine which ones could fully exploit the high megapixel count of the A7R4. The 25mm Batis wasn't great. It scored "good", which he says ...

Yeah the XF10 is a pretty poor successor to the X70. A lot of people say it's not supposed to be, but they stopped selling the X70 so... But the X70 has the manual controls I mentioned, an X-Trans ...

Everybody else has pretty much hit the nail on the head, but I just recently picked up a used X70 (basically same size as XF10) for cheap and it's definitely very pocketable. My previous smallest ...

I mean if you've had it for years and still don't like it, get something else. I guess what you choose depends on what you're not happy about with that lens. What don't you like about it? But yeah, ...

Strong recommendation for the 55-200mm. More often than not, I find myself wanting a tele for landscapes, especially in the mountains. I always have a wide angle just in case, but the 18-55 will ...

I’ll give another vote to Iridient X-Transformer and Lightroom. My Sony workflow was already to convert Sony raw to DNG on import, and I did that at first when I got my Fuji too. But I eventually ...

I'm also doing this with my X-T30 in movie mode and an HD60S and it works great. You don't need to set it recording, though. I just set it to movie mode and it still outputs to HDMI without ...

I agree with the idea of getting a vintage macro lens. Extension tubes are nice just because they're so cheap and let you play around a bit, but having a real macro lens is so much better. They're ...

Have you seen the 35mm f2 on an X-E3/X-T30 in person? I know it's not as small as the pancake 27mm f2.8 but it's by no means a big lens. I have both lenses and an X-T30 and either ones makes for a ...

Yeah, the common Electro 35 is a 45mm lens. The Electro 35 CC that I mentioned is a rarer model with a 35mm f1.8 lens. http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Yashica_Electro_35_CC But I agree, 45mm is ...

I was thinking the same thing. Only vintage fixed lens rangefinder I can think of is the Yashica Electro 35 CC. Then again, it's hard to search online for rangefinders with a 35mm lens because all ...

Unfortunately it seems like most of these are basically sold out everywhere. I had this idea three or four weeks ago and it was already impossible to find the cam stick 4k at the normal price. I ...
