Laowa missed the boat again. They should have added a focus lock feature, which is a great hep in manual focus work of any kind. My IRIX wide angle primes have this, making it easy to set a...

The 6x7 format crops easily to 2/3 or 1:1 with very little image area loss.

DA lenses don't cover the whole 35mm format. You'd want compatibility with F, FA and DFA lenses.

If so, that's another reason not to invest in an EVF camera now. The next one coming will make you hate the EVF you own, and you'll have to buy again. I prefer to buy fully developed products, not ...

My big disappointment with EVFs is always dynamic range in bright scenes. Even the latest Nikon showed this problem. Aimed at the camera shop door, it can't simultaneously show me what's outside ...

No online video reviewer I've seen uses a shoulder strap. Sometimes I think they want to create visual drama this way, making us think, "Will he drop it?" Or there's just a new consensus that it...

Just as in the film era, it's still better to capture as much shadow and highlight detail as possible unless you have a personal style that's out of the realistic norm. High-key or high-contrast, ...

My original point was that since I work in harsh lighting, it's like always driving on the Autobahn at three-digit speeds. Specifically, when I shoot an interior, be it  a home or a warehouse, I ...

Dynamic range filters- is that a thing? I have a couple of soft contrast filters from way back, but they won't fit the lenses I use most.

When you're a working professional, you rarely get to choose when you work. If you're doing multiple jobs in different locations around a city, you can't afford to wait until the fat light of ...

Where you stand on the importance of DR may depend on where you sit- and work, and take photographs. I live in Colorado, a place of many natural wonders that are usually seen in some of the ...

Get back in touch with me when the EVF actually is better, especially regarding true color and wide dynamic range and good visibility in bright conditions.

How would you control the aperture? Do you always shoot wide open?

Deleting autofocus makes it quicker and simpler to produce multiple lens mount variants of similar construction. I guess photographers are rediscovering the joys of manual focus, and that's no bad...

I doubt that existing MFT lenses would cover an APS-C sensor. Are you suggesting they develop several dozen new lenses for this small improvement in sensor size?

The seals and design techniques for weather resistance also improve dust resistance. I don't know of anyplace that has neither precipitation or dust.

That's the "BOX 1,2,3,4,5?"

Thanks! I just went to Custom>Control panel>Still Image. That takes me to an image of the Control Panel and instructions to "Select the location of the item that you want to change." I highlighted ...

Is it just me? I've transitioned through a parade of digital cameras fro Minolta to Sony to Fuji to Panasonic to various Pentax models, and always found my way pretty fast. But the K-3lll I got ...

Absolutely NOT. If I'm doing any kind of artistic image based on the quality of light falling on a subject, as opposed to so technical photographic task, the quality of what I see in the OVF is ...
