My T7i has a slight softness to its shots in the +(plus) mode. Would it produce better results by adjusting sharpness in a different mode ? The manual indicates any changes I make can reset. But, ...

That's correct, if you check the specs on many photo printers they're all 3-color plus black. That Epson 3-tank printer (C, M, Y) I had was great for up to letter size, and cheap to run.

The Epson line is your best choice. I've used mainly Canon but the one Epson I had was a work horse. I would have got another if they had a wide version. As for the three color printers (Cyan, ...

I've had good luck with SLIK tripods. My DX700 was $179 and is very well built. It easily handles my 7rii w/sigma 150-600. And, the legs can adjust out/up so your low to the ground. Shooting wary ...

Compare the ii and the iii. If the ii will meet your needs you'll save a bundle. If you want you can spend that savings on some nice glass. You know the iii will go on sale at some point and then ...

The old TNO (trust no one) always raises its head. The best and I mean best choice is as follows: Take your camera body to the store, Mount the lens, Take a shot (or two), Ask them to hold the ...

First you need a boat ! If you're anywhere those lovely light polluted ant nests they call cities, well your stars will be streetlights. All kidding aside, the low cost Samyang lenses are good, ...

If I shot wide and cropped, why didn't I use something less wide with no corner blur ? Seems the only way to get sharp corners and a wide image is better optics. Maybe a higher res sensor say the ...

Sooo well put !

1. Keep the Olympus and 12-40, you won't get what their worth to you. 2. A7rii on sale now, got one this week, many lens options, it WILL make you happy. 3. Don't fear third party glass, I use my ...

Excuse my confusion, but your gear lists Fuji not Sony. Will you be using the 24-105 in its FE or E capacity. The later giving you a 36-158 equiv. which gives some reach but poor wide use. I am ...

If the Mrs. ever looks over my shoulder, she'll switch from Facebook to DP Review. Fingers should be for shutter buttons and after that, posting your shots. A picture is worth 1K words, so fill up ...

I agree many Canon lenses are of the highest quality. My point was third party lenses of equal quality exist for less money.

Sad to say cancelled mine also. The composite (i.e. plastic) body should have been mag. and sealing added. Mirrorless is nice, my GX85, 5100, A6000 will always have a home. But, for the money, my ...

STORAGE IS EVERYTHING ! I've watched beautiful prints go pale in as little as 1-2 years in a sunny room. Yet, prints made at the same time, sleeved in good portfolio binders are like new 10 years ...

Very nice, sturdy, work friendly platform. You've now committed yourself to posting many more excellent shots. These are the setups dreams are made of, thank you !

Keep the SL2 as a knock-around back-up. It can be used to train others, or in foul situations like swamps, nasty crowds, and dozens of places you'd never take your good gear. You'll never get good ...

I would not consider $1300 price tag cheap ! And, I hope cheap doesn't refer to build quality. Many bodies are sporting glass that equals or exceeds their price tag. Yes, some of your selections ...

Beautiful work, thank you for posting. If possible, please include a shot of your gear setup. One picture of gear, lighting, etc. can put idle hands to work ! Again great job !

If I put an EF12 extension tube (quite small) between lens and body, I get magnification. So how come the adapter doesn't change anything ? Is the added extension offset by software ?
