If you run the AF fine tuning for a zoom, you should do so at least for either end, and preferably for one or  two focal lenghts within the zoom range. Each focal length may require its own ...

Heavily cropped - used the 18.5 lens and tried to get as close as possible Even more cropped and pushed 2.5 stops in Capture One 11 This post is not about the caroussel mouse - it is about the ...

For me, it's the 10mm on the Nikon 1 V3, with a fullframe equivalent of 27mm. There is nothing you can hide behind between you and the person or object you want to photograph.

Don't those turned-down corners of the beaks appear to imply that flying is not their favourite passtime? And I was very lucky that they were not flying directly over me: Cheers, Holger

If it was mine, I would return it or try to get it fixed under warranty. The decentering will make it more or less useless for landscape work. Once you know that the weakness is there, you will ...

This is an excellent summary of the current state regarding Nikon. Nikon has fully met my expectations in the recent months (though not my hopes). I had jumped ship towards a Sony A7RII about 1.5 ...

Hi Sarah, what lenses do you have - more than one? If 2 or more, then I would take both cameras. Safaris are usually dusty affairs and you would want avoid changing lenses. Even if you only have ...

The first two are my favourites, great results! Ever tried to take away its food? You might change your mind if your hand goes missing... :-) Cheers, Holger

Cool :-) This one is my favourite. Cheers, Holger

I had faced the same internal discussion. On my last vacation (safari), a few others used Sony RX10's - and the results were not better than those from my V3, if not worse. Had also compared the ...

Hi Padrones, these pictures makes me dislike the winter in Germany even more (had -10° C here for the past week - looking forward to the summer). I'm adding a few comments further below. Cheers, Holger

For me, the b/w with white sky works best: Unless the colour of the sky repeats itself on the building in a significant way: So for the first image, both colour and b/w work for me; for the second ...

Following up on this previous discussion - I got one of my garden birds cooperating for a test (actually it was waiting on the red-grey squirrel to move off the bird feeder). It stayed long enough ...

Thank you Adzor! On my squirrel picture, the camera insisted to either focus on the foreground or the background branches, but never on my furry friend - possibly because they had more contrast ...

What a great system it is if it is doing what it is supposed to do: I wouldn't want to carry the full-frame equivalent of the 70~300 CX lens, no way! ... but how limiting it is when you are bitten ...

"Hey, you over there!!" Huh? Are you talking to me? "Seen what your black-haired colleague is up to?" Where? I don't believe it - that guy is digging up MY winter stores!!!! Captured today after ...

I was a bit over-eager to get it right the first time, so have very likely overdone it. But the advantage of the slide copy adapter is that you don't need to verify the proper alignment and ...

I like those DIY solutions. This specific one works for a smaller number of pictures, but will be a painful operation if you want to apply it for a larger image set. I had tried a similar setup ...
