I suspect that with creative usage of a focus stacking program and Photoshop, one could do much of the Scheimpflug effect.   I think we have to think outside the box though.  It may require focus ...

That is a question I had.  Can this tilt effect actually be achieved with focus stacking and using selective blurring in post?   Some editors have a blurring effect that makes things out-of-focus. ...

I was just wondering how necessary are tilt/shift lenses in today’s world.  I realize that there are various reasons for using a tilt/shift lens, but for me the main reason would be to keep ...

Personally, I think you’re wasting money.  But if you are set on just trying it out, ask your family and relatives if they have any old film cameras and lenses still.  Most will have a 50mm and if ...

If you can, rent the 23mm.  I rented for three days and that was enough to help me make a decision.  That is what I did before there was even a 30mm.  We can all say what we like best, but it ...

My guess is that if you ever try to sell the lenses, it will be an issue.

There is another reason with Fujifilm cameras to have a JPEG file available.  According to Ken Wheeler, if you have a Fine JPEG, you can zoom in during playback to 100% to check focus.  Whether ...

For those of you with a 4:3-sized sensor, what aspect ratio do you generally use to compose most of your photos? Do you for the most part stick with 4:3 or do you start with 3:2, etc? Is there a ...

I would recommend the X-series over the X-S10 unless you are a fan of the PASM methodology. Or if you have programmed your dials to work much like a PASM camera, then the X-S10 might work for you. ...

I think it was on this forum where it was discussed on how to tighten the FLM ballheads.  That may help when you tighten it down.

Maybe Preview Picture Effect

Check EVF brightness level.

Given that we will likely only see one tilt shift wide-angle lens, I would like a 28mm tilt shift lens. The other manufacturers have two wide angles t/s. My guess is that I will be dead before ...

This is one of the reasons why I moved to an L-bracket.  I think they make one for the camera. L- brackets rest against the side of the camera, so they don’t rotate.  Don’t tighten too much on ...

Maybe just try zone focusing for street. I’m not a street photographer, but that is what I’ve done the few times I have tried it. Another option is just to manually focus.  Hopefully, it isn’t ...

I was bored and started thinking about whether MF might someday be able to do sports and wildlife photography.  I think two things are an issue in the present:  reading and transferring all the ...

Is the Raw file compressed?  Try uncompressed. I sort of recall Macs having an issue with compressed.  Not sure if it still is an issue.

I actually only own one lens:  GF63mm. When I bought into the system, I wanted to make sure I liked it before committing to a full complement of lenses. Plus, Fujifilm was slow in releasing lenses ...

That they can have a product on sale to "x" date and decide to take it off sale before the date is reached. I'm not crazy about how the newer door designs just snap shut.  i can see where that will ...

Interesting that Canon has autofocus tilt shift lenses on the RF road map.  I hope we see a new roadmap for lenses this week.
