According to the Canon 5D4 manual. "AF does not work in timelapse mode. The exposure applied to the first frame is applied to each subsequent frame" ( from memory but close). In fact whatever ...

Not enough physical space for that on the 14mm

There is nothing wrong with gel filters used behind the lens. Not so good in front. A glass rear filter if used with the 14mm lens would take up too much physical space and in my opinion it's extra...

Grads will still need a front filter system. I can only visualise using NDs in the rear system, but there might be some other rear filter I don't know about.

I will certainly be getting a rear filter holder for my 14mm Canon Sigma. My only experience with rear filters was with the Bolex H16 I used extensively. It had a slot and the filter was in a frame...

The Zenit cameras made just after lunch break on a Friday afternoon were the ones to avoid. However if this new one one is cheap enough it might be fun. Not sure what lenses or mount they might use?

I imagine the whole point of a high quality video camera being paired with a cellphone is to enable high quality live (or delayed) transmission of video by way of cell towers. This could be great...

DesmondD, if you want lighter weight lenses with better light transmission, you can easily use prime lenses now.

I'm starting a rumour that Samsung will buy Nikon. Then we can have 55" curved sensors.

Rensol, Making various focal length lenses for our present flat sensors is of course a compromise, especially for wide angle, and less so for longer lenses. It's possible that by SLIGHTLY curving a...

Having a DSLR in a holster at airport security is just asking for it to be hand checked. I put all my vacation camera stuff in a 7.5 kg backpack and it goes through the belt with no trouble...

Best to rub a graphite ( lead ) pencil HB or B around the filter threads before screwing on. The graphite from the pencil is a dry lubricant and lasts forever. Squeezing the filter too hard also...

I have both the EF 35mm f2 IS and the EF 16 / 35mm f4 IS lenses. I wouldn't say that the  zoom is better than the prime. The EF 35 f2 IS is extremely good in my opinion. I can't see any difference ...

Erik Lets see you do it then.

It's inevitable but mirrorless is not necessarily better, it's just a different option. I now have a 5D4 and an 80D and in spite of what Richard Butler writes, in live view their dual pixel auto...

Barty L, Years ago when I started filming for television before colour TV in NZ we used monochrome film and the reflex optical viewfinders in our cameras were of course colour. More recently we...

That may have been your experience of the past Bob. I am often impressed by photos taken more than 100 years ago where photographers had to use a tripod and carefully composed scenes and or people...

The photographer decides what he / she wants to present. You can agree or not agree. Who cares? There are endless variations of color contrast etc that could be presented for your judgment. Try...

Ansel Adams did experiment with color landscapes. He decided he preferred his mono landscape images. ( going from my memory of reading over half a dozen books by Adams that I have ) He also...

A great article and images Mr Otto. For those who haven't tried mono a little tip. On Canon 5D3 & 4; no doubt many other cameras. If you select RAW + JPEG as well as Monochrome in "Picture Style" (...
