...the D810 is rather non-linear in the highlights, similar to film. There's a lot of highlight headroom and it rolls off very smoothly. It took me a bit to get used to that coming up from the...

You may not have called me any names but "the other matthew is gifting you with his precious time and we couldn't care less if you don't want to read" is a jack*ss way to open a reply.

I've never...

Fair enough, I don't teach photographers nor have the insight into how they think. It makes sense, what you're saying. I'm also a cinematographer so histograms, waveforms, all those squiggly things...

@matthew saville

I think we're speaking the same language but the internet is complicating it. I agree with you entirely and I feel like I'm saying the same thing. I totally agree many scenes have...

@fferreres

Oh and "to 'push things to the right' you have to underexpose relative to what the camera had chosen as exposure."

ONLY IF THE CAMERA HAS CLIPPED HIGHLIGHTS. IF IT HAS NOT, THEN YOU...

@fferreres

Just FYI: when you comment like an assh*le, I'm going to not give a sh*t about anything you say. Mr. Saville and I both understand each other and have been respectful.

You seem like a...

@matthew saville

I understand what you're saying, I'm just confused as to how I claimed any differently?

For a given scene with given lighting, provided none of your highlights are clipped...

@matthew saville

I just read your other comment and I'm even more confused by what you meant in the comment to me. I agree with your other comment - I particularly agree that certain highlights...

@matthew saville

I think you are either confused or not explaining very well. ETTR is, quite literally, to the right. Which is exactly the same as prioritizing the placement of your brightest...

depends on what you're talking about. If you mean clipping the highlights in camera, sure. But you really should ETTR, which results in an "overexposed" image out of the camera, but can be brought...

YUP. Trump has convinced so many of his sycophants that the media is “the enemy of the people” and every outlet is “fake news” (except Breitbart and Fox News - though he gets mad at Fox News...

@babart many of the Zeiss C/Y lenses are truly fantastic even by modern standards. The 28/2 (“Hollywood Distagon”), 35 PC, 85/2.8, 100 Makro, and 135/2.8 are incredible lenses.

I really want to...

@apestorm If they had just been making this lens I’d agree it would be easily dismissible. But they have plans for a number of original designs and that tiny 28 would be an awesome lens to have....

Yes, very easily. They will adapt to any mirrorless, E, X, Z, RF, MFT, L. Note though that some do not play well with these cameras due to the lack of offset microlenses and/or thick cover glass....

1) it's based on the classic pre-war Sonnar formula, which some would say has some different magic or fairy dust or whatever than newer designs. I've used quite a few of the originals and they're...

I'm normally not interested in things like this - I'd rather just go get a modern Zeiss Planar 50mm if I needed a rangefinder lens, or just buy an older lens if I want that vintage design. I've had...

I doubt it will be 8K 10 bit, but I'm not sure what kind of media it will use. Or codec. If it uses CFexpress (and therefore XQD compatible) it could do 8K 10 bit h.265. But if it's using dual SD...

Haven't had a Fuji in some time and never thought about doing this, but I'd be surprised if you can't, somehow. You can make profiles for Nikons - I made a color profile and a b+w profile for my Z6...

For video QUALITY? Not even close. Perhaps tracking AF for video is better (no idea, haven't used an a6xxx since the 6500) but the QUALITY of the video from the Fuji (X-T3 or X-T4 or even X-H1) is...

“Pence is in charge”

lol ok. Totally absolves the president, his boss. Who put him “in charge” of the situation - for the very reason you’re demonstrating, so that he can point the finger at his...
