To be fair, it is very hard to tell what is serious and what is not in the DPR comment section.

Fair enough. More facts are warranted.

BtN1 - I did include the qualifier “for them.” Also, the contracts written related to this article state that such language was included. The photographer is saying a higher level law nullifies...

If a company hires you to take images for them, the images are theirs. The structure of the economy around photography would need to change drastically if that was not true.

The part about the...

I am surprised by the background blur for a 80mm f16 equivalent shot. Even the frog's legs start to be out of focus. I do wonder if the settings are correctly stated, including ISO.

I do very...

If my company has reason to purchase a 9 to 11k drone, purchasing a dedicated camera for said drone seems reasonable.

Physics dictates the math. You can’t have a single number per lens while also not knowing the sensor size to describe maximum magnification.

@s1oth1ovechunk
When properly used, maximum magnification is an "absolute number." It tells you how large an object will appear on the image frame relative to its actual size. So a 1mm object...

But comparing my 1:1 FF macro lens (1x) to this lens (claimed 0.42x) is wrong. That would make my FF macro a 2:1 (2x). Therefore specifying maximum magnification the way done in this article is...

@George1958
Further up, you state that the DOF will be the same as FF F8 when at the same distance from the subject. That is not true. It will have the same DOF as FF F4 because it is a F4 lens. ...

I didn't realize max mag is sensor size specific. Does 1:1 not mean that something the size of the sensor should fill the frame?

Specifically to this press release, comparing the max mag to a...

For the same framing, you would need to move further back using just the FF lens and therefore the final result would be different.

I agree using a wider & faster lens on FF should yield nearly...

For that price it should have a motor to rotate the body. That would also cause less shake and chance of repositioning between shots.

Yes, CPL.

Recovered one after it bounced down a rock face but I was able to recover it. It was a nice copper one and never fit right again.

I’ve damaged a few filters due to dropping at the finale of the unscrewing process. Usually it’s the metal ring that gets a divot.

I don't understand a roll-top bag that isn't actually waterproof.

Bottom straps that hold a small tripod is a nice feature that isn't on most non-camera bags outside of larger backpacking...

I realize it is a bit more expensive 7artisans lens ($430), but seems relevant....

Is a 22mm in FF equivalent terms. The actual focal length is much much less than 22mm (maybe 10? I forget the conversion factor from 1” to FF/35mm).

The parenthetical statement in the article is...

The real money comes from the photo paper.

I’d like to see a downsized original put through this upsize tool and then compared to the original. That way it can be seen how well the algorithm synthesizes the samples compared to truth.
