Actually not really. But is been a long time. I started with a used F3, great camera, pain in rear strobe connector. When I got into photography on a serious pro level, it was first only 8x10, then ...

One point (I haven’t seen yet) is the availability of 16 bit capture, and while it doesn’t apply to the Fuji system, Hasselblad is the only player these days that has central shutter lenses which ...

Not knocking the Noct, but I'm working out with 20-25 lbs dumbbells and sand bags, cheaper...

I think they should produce whatever is best. As a pro, potentially working with one lens for a full day, I need a superior image rendition paired with a manageable weight. In the past, the 1.4 was...

When Canon started (?) this nonsense with their 85/1.2 AF lens I always compared it to the more sensible and outstanding Nikon 85/1.4, Using the 1.2 was such a chore on a long day of shooting and...

March in the US...

I agree the number just doesn't count. My last Canon (1DxII) was just weeks over 2 years old, aka past warranty, had only 30k frames and the shutter failed. They wouldn't even consider repairing ...

I still have the 45/3.5, but ever since I got the 55 I barely changed lenses. The new one is incredibly quiet, nearly no sound, even when shooting on a sound stage (where it’s really quiet and ...

thanks for the insight, as mentioned, sandisk is all I use, even after 2016, and as far as pushing them not hard enough, maybe that’s the case, just last Tuesday I shot nearly 9k photos in 10hrs, ...

I'm using Sandisk since shooting digital, never a bad experience, and per recommendation from my dealer, I also stick to their readers, keeping it brand specific. Why try save money with unknown ...

Currently I use the Artisan&Artist Acam 100, it's easy and quickly adjustable to fit over my sweater when shooting indoors and my Canada Goose Expediiton when outside, for a loose or close body ...

Yes, not too much though, too busy at work (where I shoot Z9 all day). For studio shotsI tend to sync at 1/500 to cut out model light, no issues (Profoto Pro11), I did a couple of tests outside ...

I would also consider your goals, do you need to shoot more frames on a roll, 645 is the way to go. Do you want to print as large as can, 6x9 or wider for landscapes could be great. 6x7 used to be ...

Considering the subject matter at hand, I suggest a very quick reacting AF system mirrorless system with decent mpx for landscapes. And noting that you prefer the camera to be on the smaller side ...

If it's any consonance, I had the memory card door replaced on my Nikon Z7II, US$300, thats 10% of the actual purchase price. For a door hinge that didn't pop open. Absolutely appalling...

I’m a big fan of calibration each and every body you’re using, creating a profile to use on import and go from there. If color is critical, use a grey card, Macbeth, or white paper to neutralize ...

That’s a hard one, for utmost image quality, I still love the 2.8 24-70, the 24-120 gives me more reach, great for my frequent application and “good” enough (Z9). So it really depends if you have ...

There’s definitely a slowdown from first expectations, even communicated delivery dates. In general I feel it’s about 6-8 weeks, not a big deal, its still a little it of a bummer. But on the other ...

for a one lens setup, which is also nice as you’re not changing lenses, which in turn reduces dust intrusion, I would get the 45-100 and be done with it. If you’re in the need of a single focal, ...

That’s a X1DII with a 45mm, shooting a group photo of our entire team working on FBI Most Wanted Season 3 in New York. Photographed by my friend and very frequent subject Alexa Davalos, who’s an ...
