I’m sorry, guys, I hate to come across as highly negative here, but comparing the modularity of a PC to a camera is simply not valid. A PC is a much larger device, where that level of modularity ...

Looks like you completely missed my point.  There’s nothing at all wrong with being critical. That’s an integral part of making the forum useful and helpful to everyone.  It’s all about how you ...

Well, not forgotten by me, and not entirely inaccurate.  I replaced my 18-55 with the 16-55 years ago and haven’t looked back since.  The difference iin terms of overall consistent IQ as well as ...

Wonderful shots, and you took maximum advantage of the available light.  And, unlike another comment here, I had no issue with the number of images attached.  As long as you stay within the 10 ...

I'm sorry, but that comes across as very harsh and a bit personal. Your post received a couple of complaints, and frankly, I'd have to agree. I think you might have gotten a lot more useful a ...

Yup, I assumed that and it definitely puts the emphasis on the waterfall.  Nice work.

Better, though I think I'd enjoy seeing just a bit more detail in the wall between the waterfalls and perhaps even in the foliage above... thus I'd still bring up the dark areas a bit more.  But ...

Please send a PM to the poster you’re responding to… no for sale activity of any sort is permitted within the forum.

At least for my purposes, an 18mm lens might be a tad long for astrophotography, as your exposure time will be pretty limited in order to to avoid star trails.  The larger aperture definitely ...

Beautiful setting, Morris.  However, it looks extremely dark on my monitor.  If that's the look you wanted, then please ignore the comment.

Well, whatever info or opinions I might have on this are fairly old, so if there have been any changes in the design or manufacturing of the 18-55, then all bets are off. Back when I owned and ...

Very nice examples, thanks for sharing.  I do think I can see a subtle difference in favor of the 1.4x TC, but the difference is far less dramatic than what I experienced when I took the 2.0 TC ...

Very useful information… thanks for sharing.  Might have to consider taking another look at the 2x TC.

Very nice series, Morris.  Amazing light.

Nice shots! I have to wonder whether the combination of the 70-300 and 2xTC might be yielding better results that what I've seen (both with my own testing and other examples posted in the forum) ...

Thank you!  Would love to head up that way again... it was an amazing experience.

Good for you.  So did I and a host of others who participate here.  My first camera was a film Exa (known as a baby Exacta).  So, I've been at this for a little while as well. Let's not confuse ...

I suspect the 16-55 will be pretty well glued to the camera for most of the trip.  It’s really a perfect focal length range for what you’ll see there.  I’m less convinced that the 50-140 will be ...

Excellent work, Trumab.  Really terrific in B&W.

The challenge for any company dabbling in high technology is to keep it relevant and desirable.  As cameras reach that "good enough" threshold, manufacturers have to get increasingly creative to ...
