I agree about the construction of the IV, and for that matter the Arri S and even the humble Bolex. All were durable and easy to service (within limits.) Nothing I own today comes close. It's a ...

Thanks for your perspective. Now that I think about it, that's pretty much how I ended up with 3 Tandy TRS 80 computers -- the computer on which I learned to program -- and for some reason thought ...

Yeah, that pretty much sums up my thinking. My little digital Tascam shames me for not doing more field recording, even as a hobby, since it's that good. As for your Revox, I don't know the unit, ...

Ebay's apparently questionable algorithm just tossed me an ad for a Nagra 4.2. Price: $3800. Why? I oversaw the budget at a film school for nearly 10 years, and the most we paid for a Nagra 4.x was ...

First, what a well-written and heartfelt comment. Second, while I'd like to disagree with you, I can't. Modern sensors and EVF's over the 3x-dot limit allowed me to appreciate the low-light ...

What a great response, and you've made me rethink my initial reservations. Thanks!

Worked for Trump. (runs away)

Cars, IMO, are a lifestyle choice, whereas cameras are simple (if not so simple) tools. So why do so many threads end up analogizing cameras to cars?

I keep reading that the Z 28mm feels cheap and is 'plasticky', but I don't really know what to make of that. And frankly, I'm more interested in how it performs than to how it feels compared to ...

So far as I can tell, cameras are now less a tool than a lifestyle choice. Kind of like Android or iOS, or Peloton vs Nordictrack.

Is that a baby? I've noticed the baby bluejays and cardinals I've captured are similarly -- well -- horrific looking. Still, a nice shot.

Wondering: why no Z or RF mounts?

But those posts (and reviews) are pretty much the only way of feeling out products these days. No stores within a reasonable distance stock these cameras, meaning that the Internet, like it or ...

Why do some quarters dismiss the Z5? The plusses for me include what on paper look like a great VF, IBIS and dual slots. My only regret is that I missed the discount. Asking because the 28mm paired ...

Wondering how this lens stacks up against the existing manual focus 28/2.8 AI-s lens that I think is still in production.

Astonishing shots. If I read you right, you used AF at macro distances? Interesting. Can you use AF when using the in-camera focus bracketing feature? (Assuming that's what you used for these.) Ask ...

Interesting technique, but “the future of digital media”? Really?

Sounds like someone drumming up hype for those NFTs he’s working on.

Curious to see a comparison with the Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 F-mount lens (#1420), which is apparently still in production. I've never used it, but it gets stellar reviews.

Cute camera, but I really want to know more about that lens. Specifically how it performs on FF. That lens on a Z5 would be great.

Capture One and Lightroom (I think) both have a hot key that cleanly displays the image, full screen and free of junk, so one can evaluate the image. I’m not sure why asking for something similar ...
