Greg, try stacking first - just for a laugh. You might be suprised with the results. First you take like 10 shots with iso 3200/6400/whatever and your longest possible exposure before stars start ...

I like to visit this part of the forum because I a) like to drool over financially unobtainable camera gear b) like much of the posted content these pictures are - to my eyes at least - just ...

If you are only doing indoor macro that makes a lot of sense budget-wise.
Happy shooting my man!

notice though you can only use this in the macro range which is a very hard limit, whereas the fuji 80 is also a superb people and landscape lens :)

Jerry, just a side note, but I find your level- headed manner of presenting arguments and counterpoint very pleasant to read!

I'd probably sell a lot of my fuji stuff and switch to a FF with the same size/form factor/ergonomics if the ''1'' is discontinued, should I feel the need to upgrade. (which would be a distant ...

an X_H1 with new innards, marketed as a rugged workhorse and priced far enough from sony's lower end fullframe territory would sell well I think. Can they pull that off? No idea. I'd buy one in a ...

Well if it bothers you that much you could always cheat a bit in photoshop. Just open the image, duplicate that layer and put it first, so on top of your original image. Then apply some gaussian ...

Yeah initially pricing it pretty much the same as one of those sony FF a7 bodies really didn't help, and releasing a next gen sensor (although not a big improvement at all IQ wise but we all know ...

Thanks this is awesome advice and great, great, great shots. I've been looking at trackers too, very long and very hard. I'd like to use one with my 14mm and with the 80. Do you have some advice ...

(1) If you are a bokeh ermm prostitute first and foremost, you’ll probably regret the change. I went through that phase with a 5d2 and a 135L F2. You wont get that certain look with a fuji, period. ...

It's big, it's kinda heavy, it's clunky and noisy but when I'm pixelpeeping I can tell it's actually outresolving my 24 MP sensor so that's saying something IQ wise. 2.8 is already very good but ...

While I'm 100 % sure the old tamrons and such are optically very impressive, the focus bracketing option is just such a nice thing to have IMHO it's worth it to save a few months longer and buy ...

Nope, totally get it. And btw, criticism is very welcome, I'm absolutely open to constructive remarks - that's the nice side of internet, we all can get different viewpoints or ideas that didn't ...

Thanks for this suggestion! Unfortunately I can't get the sky quite natural looking using masks - I suppose the lack of reflection on leaves and sunspots on the wall/ trees/rocks etc... have ...

thanks for the input, and something to take with me next time I venture out! An off centre composition would have made it a lot less static indeed. But you know, sometimes?  The rain was picking ...

Seeing as how two out of the three replies suggest this there just might be some truth in there lol... thanks for the constructive critique. Unfortunately it went from slight drizzle to absolute ...

Hey thanks for the constructive critique! I'll be sure to experiment with cropping a bit, I do see your point :)

... I think. Mullerthal in Luxembourg, very very pittoresque!

the worms do still exist, albeit mostly when you go to kinda crazy levels of sharpening anyway... but yes, I can def. get worms if I want them. Hearing good things about capture one but I can't get ...
