The Ai-S copy that I had was stunning on DX format. I felt like I could fall right into the picture. That copy would have been a great one to try on MFT. I sold mine when I went to FX format ...

"With a name like 'Milvus' its' got to be good."   ;-) ... apologies to Smucker's Inc.

Star fields seem to be important to you based on what I'm reading in this thread. And like me you might find that you'd generally prefer that the stars at frame edges should not look massively ...

Many thanks for the link, sir! My Epson R3000 was officially declared totaled last week so this Canon deal came at the perfect time - effectively it's just $19 when considering the included paper. ...

The word from the repair shop is that it needs a new print head which would run me $350. The economic point of view when one considers the entire picture including the warranty and ink tanks that ...

That's not specifically limited to engineers or engineering. That's about honesty and excellence, and degrees thereof. Mediocre engineers might simply think that what they believe happens to be ...

Well that was just an analogy. To complete it I would say that those who designed and built the lenses you do love are engineers and technicians that you might choose to appreciate. It's no ...

There it is again. You might remember that the lenses that have a weighting of performance factors that suit your preferences, those which may have prioritized something other than high contrast on ...

In the canyon flight example the parallax is extremely perceptible in the time dimension. That luxury does not exist in a still photo. But you can get it while "flying" above a landscape in Google ...

Actually, saying that something is "______ enough" is what engineers grasp rather well. Perfection is impossible therefore the only things that can be accepted are things that are imperfect, but ...

Interesting development: the two new, full cartridges continue show the "cannot be recognized" error even when placed in a 2nd R3000. Either the printer is corrupting the memory contents of the ...

+1. So many people don't realize that if 12MP is acceptable, then it's acceptable, end of story. When a comparison is attempted it should be done in a way that is consistent with the requirements ...

I think you forgot how you play your game. The 3D pop does not rely on bokeh, remember? It is supposed to rely on the microcontrast within the in -focus areas of the image, at least that's what has ...

You make claims of superior microcontrast. Contrast of any kind in an image is measurable, by definition in fact. The quantity is the difference of brightness. I no longer believe that even you ...

I have never once seen Nikon leak, to the world, the existence of a future product in the form of a contest prize .

In fact that contact area does look robust, and there are credible burnish marks on the contact pads of the cartridge so there is a good wiping action there. I'm guessing that the fault is likely ...

My Epson R3000 is 2-1/2 years old at this point. I've never had the "cannot recognize ink cartridge" problem until recently. I am using Epson cartridges only. At least they look like official ...

DSTE does not do a good enough job on getting physical dimensions right. I use this single-piece product https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N0E5KZI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in ...

+1 on that. Nikon could have been more consistent with that aspect of the firmware, Sometimes the two buttons do the exact same thing but in some other cases they don't. part of that is due to the ...

When you said the Fuji was "not far behind" that will indeed be interpreted as a comparison. I have no images to share from any of those cameras, but since dynamic range is one integral aspect of ...
