Surely a bigger sensor equals a better PHOTOGRAPHER, not a better camera? Or have my cognitive powers been damaged by using a teeny weeny sensor for 20 years?

I used it for a while on the E-5, particularly in Antarctica. I also used it via adapter on the E-M1.1.  It is certainly a fantastic lens, but don’t underestimate the size and weight. It is built ...

As Jim infers it’s really subjective.  Phocus Standard is really very impressive, but for the look I’m after, mainly for landscape, Repro or even Low Gain is a better starting point.  A little ...

Well I don't really care either way, Marty4650, but as far as I recall recent Leica Q special editions have a very modest markup. Even markDOWN in one case.

This Leica bashing is weird.

I can’t help but ask… why do you shake it??? (I own this and a number of other XCD lenses, but I’ve never felt the urge to shake them )

It probably means “edit“ in the photographic, curation sense, not in the photoshop sense.

Hi, Does anybody know how to load “.set” files to OI share, for example import from Dropbox? Petr Bambousek claims it is possible (in his excellent OM-1 guide), but I cannot for the life of me work ...

In my experience 200 photos is pretty good going.  I don’t review much in the field, I don’t “chimp”, I mainly shoot single shots with S-AF, and I’ve never seen anything close to the claimed ...

Why oh why oh why do people feel the need to be so aggressive and rude online? A few comments from my side: - It took me quite a while to get up to speed with Live ND (on the M1.3). Following the ...

I actually have similar experience. Colour can be quite peculiar in LrC, blue sky shifting to violet. However this tends to be the case when exposing very much to the right. I don’t think I’m the ...

I’ve read quite some twaddle on this site, but this is really going for first prize.  On several levels.

I would say that Fuji/Hasselblad medium format AF is about on the same level as that of the best entry level DSLRs during the digital camera boom - 10 to 15 years ago.  Expert AF of high level ...

What I’ve noticed over the years about this lens is that testers hate it, and photographers love it. Go figure :-)

When I wind on past the 37th frame, the number of people interested in my photos will decrease from 1 to 0. So hardly an issue :-)

Personally I’m totally uninterested in “tests”; I come for the photography, and I absolutely love the look of both of these shots. Including the vignetting. It has a very similar character to ...

There is a third way of working with Adobe products: Bridge as a light table / organiser, and invoke ACR from Bridge. This gives you a kind of Lightroom-lite approach. You can then further process ...

Capture One has vastly superior tonal adjustment tools to another other option. Really, it’s ridiculously better.  However, this may be totally unimportant to many, just like AI tools are of ...

Unfortunately, the emotional response to everything Hasselblad non-Fuji is too often observed with Fuji owners i n this forum everywhere. :-P

Well it would be a lot clearer to you if you read the whole announcement rather than quote carefully selected parts to support some pre-conceived invention…

Skylum to to CaptureOne: "hold my beer..."  :-D
