Looking at all the new RF lenses available and coming out, I am about ready to buy all of them. The only problem is I would have to mount it to my Sony A7III. This is killing me - lenses I am ...

To be fair, we would need to have the 12-200 at 100mm since the 200mm is not achievable by the other lens. Also, what is up with the meridianal resolution for all the lenses? They seem terrible!

I remember when the 12-100mm was first released, there was a lot of head-scratching over it. A humungous $1,200 lens that had an equivalent aperture of f/8 on FF and of doubtful IQ due to its ...

So I think you've actually improved since the old days!

The background is the brightest part of the image, making it very distracting. Also, parts of the structure seemed burnt out. Hand should be in the pocket or not, just the finger tips seem ...

If these are a few years back, why not take new ones and post them ? :p

Hi Jan, This is a flower shot straight on with flat lighting. Although it clearly shows the flower, does it make a statement? You basically shot the flower in the most straightforward way possible. ...

Congrats on your first gig. Hard to say without knowing what your area is, how long the coverage, what you will deliver etc... In my area, people may pay as little as $50 to as much as $500 ...

hi, you have an aps-c camera. crop sensor cameras do start to show grain/noise when you raise the iso, which you have at 640. this is about the expected amount of noise at that iso. if you had shot ...

Everything about the L-mount looks good, but I am unfamiliar with DFD. I've used CDAF, but only in situations where focusing speed is not that critical - never even bothered trying to do fast ...

Thank you!

I just got my Illuminati color light meter in the mail, and it comes with an accessory known as an offset-t finger, which clips on to the back of the meter (it is magnetically attached and can be ...

Yeah this may be the first Topaz software suite program I do not buy. I really try to support the company but a hundred bucks for this just seems overboard.

If the moon is black, why does it look non-black (white/yellow/red) in almost every picture? This is really getting confusing - so something can be black even if it doesn't LOOK black? That ...

This is a snippet from the advertising e-mail that I received from them: ==== start ===== Topaz JPEG to RAW A I uses machine learning to do what was previously impossible: turn JPEGs into ...

Topaz has just released a revolutionary software that is supposed to allow you to convert JPEG files to RAW!!! That is indeed groundbreaking if true. But I haven't tested it yet, haven't read a ...

Yes indeed, this has been educational. Physics was always my worst (science) subject in college, and I only took enough to get through (2 semesters of Newtonian). So there really is no black and ...

Hi, I responded with a link to "user...." above, its one of Roberto's.

One of the first rules of photographic lighting that you learn is that light reflects, black absorbs - this is why we use white reflectors to fill in shadows and black flags to create them. Here is ...
