If the photo is for the New York Times (news division), it must be almost straight out of the camera. If the photo is a fashion shoot for Elle magazine, it's what ever the art director wants. In a ...

This is a write-up I made in another thread discussing 3rd party batteries for Fujifilm cameras. I'm much more familiar with Fuji batteries than Canon batteries, but my concerns would be the same ...

I've had very good luck with the helicoid grease from Japan Hobby Tools . The have a few different viscosities available.  I use #10 and #30.

The OP asked for a minimalist "full width" Arca Swiss baseplate.

The RRS baseplate is really perfect.  Yeah, it's $85, but the fit and finish is second to none.  Here it is on my X-T4.

You asked for alternatives... Take a look at Waterfield Bags .  They don't make a camera-specific model, but if you don't mind supplying your own cube, they make a variety of styles.  If you like ...

The Kickstarter campaign has exceeded their goal by almost 10x, so lots of people seem to like the idea.  Bags are a very personal choice and I'd want to try it in person to see if it works for me. ...

Film, being an analog format, can be scanned at any resolution you want. Conceivably, a high powered microscope could "scan" a medium format negative and produce a digital image of thousands of ...

It's clear Fujifilm is leap-frogging FF sensors.  They are rapidly developing medium format cameras and lenses for those who need a sensor larger than APSC. It's possible another company would want ...

The newer versions of Photoshop have a "refine hair" function of the "Select and Mask" tool.  It's very powerful and the best I've used for automated hair masking. When substituting backgrounds, ...

I would only clarify the 'larger subject rendering' on APS-C would be due to the higher pixel density (spatial resolution) and not due to the smaller sensor size.

I wish I could draw pictures easily here. Someone will probably explain it in words better, but here goes. Imagine a special camera with a macro lens. The special camera was normal in most ways, ...

The degree of fiction makes the question relevant.  All of them are fictional accounts at some level.  There's no clear dividing line between a little fiction and a lot of fiction, like there is ...

Of course it's relevant.  Are you seriously suggesting Gone With the Wind, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Apollo 13 shouldn't have been made because they weren't documentaries?

To YOU, fine.  You're entitled to your own valuations.  However, it's incredibly arrogant, at best, or just plain trolling to push that as a universal truth.

WARNING : Philosophical navel gazing ahead. My deeply held opinions may have little to do with reality. I can "see" in black and white. Sort of. At least, I think I can when I look at subjects of ...

I agree with most of your points for advanced users who understand the pros and cons of striping and parity schemes and those with a fairly large budget for enterprise class equipment. You can get ...

I'm a little confused, which is not uncommon. I think we're talking about C41 color film development here (not B/W).  In that context, the "kit" is usually the chemicals. Here is an example of a ...
