It's an FA series lens, fully autofocus and it has all of the electrical contacts to allow all camera exposure programs. Absolutely no need whatsoever to do as you suggested. Aperture ring can ...

Allow me to address one factual error. Great to see you visited our little country and enjoyed the "Rijks" as it's commonly called. The "Night Watch" wasn't called that way because it was painted ...

Pledges are horrible examples of stuff people say when they really do not mean it at all. It's all a bit too much flag-waving for me. Kind of a 1940'ies throwback. Countries are fictions, the one ...

On important occasions I'll carry a K-5 IIs with the venerable DA*50-135mm/f2.8 (75-200mm FF equivalent) as well as the APS-C sensor'ed GR which has a fixed 18.3mm (28 mm FF equivalent) plus the ...

Formatting is an excellent way to quickly clear away FAT entries as well as rewriting the FAT itself, effectively rendering the card empty. You do not NEED to do that but it is good practice as ...

one of these images should be considered too graphic to post. Extremely inconsiderate to post images of body parts IMHO.

Merely copying jpeg image files f.i. with a file manager does not involve setting any quality levels. Files are copied bit-by-bit and the file manager does not even take into account whether it is ...

Fattal can be tricky with LuminanceHDR as it is the only tonemapping operator the results of which vary with the image size. It can deliver awesome results however with a bit of tweaking. I tend ...

Great shots! You sound a lot like me, I did Budapest for 2 days of meetings a week ago and have only evening shots and a few taken extremely early morning after the hotelbed won the fight between ...
