I have. I stumbled onto his site while researching a lens a while back, and he posted samples where he used heavy PP sharpening in the samples. When called out on it, he didnt have much of an ...

I am really not sure how to respond to him at this point, or even if I do yet some other weird sort of victory will be declared. He appears to enjoy jokes that don't have a punch line. Sure showed ...

Perhaps they are being intentionally ignored, a polite way of people saying they don't agree with you. One post after you complain about personal attacks, you come through with a "Hail Satan". Really?

The fact that you repeatedly start paragraphs with the word "again" is evidence that you are just repeating yourself. That is what prompts comments like "If I had a dollar...." And that's the part ...

Man, how many people are gonna start a thread on this?

Nobody unplugs when they go on vacation anymore.

I have been making only the very occasional purchase there over the last decade. There are just so many other choices. I have been an eBay user since before they had photo posting and used it a ...

I think the industry term for it now is "pre-stressed". ;)

I am a wag. Yes, it is the retailers problem, but if it is enough of a problem, at some point it will be our problem. Retailers will eventually modify their return policies, and if people want to ...

And the steps in exposure compensation are often adjustable ahead of time as well. You can set for 1/3rd stop or other stops in many cameras. I know we kind of beat to death the old, "what mode do ...

When chasing the latest gear, sometimes it is easy to forget how really really good the previous model was. I think the 810 will still be a relevant camera 10-15 years from now, barring some ...

I think we are pretty much cut from the same cloth on this issue.

There is nothing wrong with it for non-rushed shots either.

I dont think there is much in the SD countryside that will put preparation to the test, from a landscape perspective, really. Probably the key to getting up and running quickly is to cede some ...

If you say so...
