Not good in very low light due to limited sensitivity. Best as an incident light meter. No batteries is a plus. It's a classic piece of gear that many used back in the film days. I have one in a ...

Nice pictures with some very nice clouds in the sky. You say that the cloudy weather made it more difficult to photograph. However, IMHO, whatever difficulty you experienced, it's not reflected in ...

The discussion of whether UW/protection filter is bad for the IQ has been going on for decades, and for decades the opinions has been "visible effect" and "no effect" and everything in between. ...

I have become aware that I erronously mistook the ZV-E1 you are asking about for the ZV-1. The first is a FF IL camera while the latter is a fixed zoom lens camera with a 1" sensor, so they really ...

Ah yes, I remember those days. I rarely carried a "big" tripod when travelling, but my small Leitz table tripod saved me countless times in bad light. It could be used standing on a table or ...

I have four light meters in a big box with old unused camera gear - a Gossen Lunasix, two Seconic and one Kenko spot meter (the same as the back in the day famous Minolta spot meter). I used them ...

Is it really necessary to use extra protection/packing in addition to the camera bag? FWIW, I have always carried my cameras and lenses "naked" in my camera bags (which was not-so-high-protection ...

Your pics brings back good memories. I remeber when my wife and I was at the Volkswagen plant in 2016. We spent much of the day in their vast collection of impressive cars of all ages and brands ...

If you have automatic switch between screen and EVF on, you have to put your face close to the EVF to have it light up. But anyway, it was just a wild guess and there can be other things wrong.

Take a look at the RX100VII.

One little thing to check is that the screen hasn't been set to "black out" on the display selector by accident. Been there, done that a couple of years ago on a trip to Spain. For a short moment ...

This! Using two different camera systems with different handling, menu systems etc. is a recipe for hesitation, fumbling, mistakes and errors at critical moments. In the end, good photos comes from ...

:-D

I don't agree that highlight metering is better than using zebras. Highlight matrix metering can be useful but if used without correction, it sometimes results in shot that are exposed lower than ...

The avarages work well too if your are experienced and have learned how much you have to compensate for the scene in front of you. Also, a tool like zebras can be helpful. Exactly. With zebras, you ...

Tools that are used gets patina. I have owned a black Leica M6 since I bought it new in 1985. It has wear marks at the edges, where the strap have rubbed against the camera body, on the buttom ...

+1. What is technical perfection after all? I'd venture to say that letting shiny highlights blow out actually is technical perfection in as much as those shiny highlights do blind us in real life ...

If I were a pro and had to choose whether I'd spend my time in front of the computer PP'ing or rather take on another paid assignment in the same time, the lack of automatic lens corrections could ...

It's refreshing to see in this thread that so many express ambivalence about the prevailing "WA mania" in landscape (and for that matter in cityscape too) photography. It was not uncommon to read ...

So far DXO PL6 doesn't have profiles for the Sigma 90/2.8 (nor the 24/3.5). Neither has ACDSee. I don't know about other programs.
