Well, 1/1000 and 1/100 are a bit of trouble, but Kodak did the longer times in the old SLR/n, SLR/c, and 14n about 20 years ago. And they patented it, but those patents expired about 3 years ago. ...

But much more awkward to shove in a pocket. Interesting idea, but there's a lot of useful developments between here and there. Do you remember the "hybrid" mania from about ten years ago? The Samsu ...

No. Have you ever heard of Sagan's Law? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You are the one claiming to have invented antigravity: the burden of proof is entirely on you. So, your ...

@Malling, if your A7RIII is that sticky have you considered using a different cleaner, or replacing the padding. Maybe a silicone camera skin...

No text.

Unfortunately, my friend, as each old clique dies, a new one is born to take its place. We still have brand wars, format wars, aspect ratio wars, mirrorless/DSLR wars, film cults, lighting  wars. ...

Of course there is. 2 microns is not "a rather small pixel size in smartphones". My Samsung S21 Ultra has 0.8 micron pixels.Life starts to get weird when pixel spacing approaches wavelengths of light.

You know, I thought it had to be more like f16, but I looked up the specs of my own phone (for someone as numerically driven as me, I somehow never really did this for mu current S21 ultra or my ...

... to repeat it in summer school. True. But the main reason these days is tradition. Even a midline FF digital outperforms those old formats. I've compared meticulously shot and scanned 120 and ...

Read what you wrote, again.

Yes, I have done AP: decades more than you. It is you, not I, that deserves that sarcastic "it does not seem so", and your "appeal to authority" fallacy is weak trolling. Do better.

Since that's...

Is that European data? Would it be… Swiss Chard? On a more serious note, hearing aids, like most medical equipment, are a really bad example because the run artificially high prices that don’t ...

Excellent points, but I think that just indicates that the niches tend to converge on particular price points. The concept of a "nice family room TV" tends to run at the same price point, adjusted ...

I’ve been mounting flashes on light stands for four decades.

I see no need to duplicate equipment: if equipment "designed to" mount on a camera can do the same job as this "monolight", but the...

That's sort of the way the flash industry went. I think it started with the Elinchrom D-Lite series.

The day you become physically, mentally, or emotionally incapable of engaging in the art, or the day you make a conscious decision to disengage permanently and back that decision up by getting rid ...

I do not engage in"intellectual skating and contorsionism" at all, let alone excellently.

You are the one who posed that the mere existence of a camera costing 3x the price of a Z30 body...

There's a (probablyapocryphal) story of someone asking a famous photographer (usually Weegee) what the "best" camera was. He calmly answered "the one you have with you". 22 years ago, I almost had ...

I tend to agree. Definitely. It takes a while for gear created for new markets and new applications to get into the used market.

Don’t forget, "a very few years ago (2 probably)" the global tech economy wasn’t crippled by supply chain problems, a pandemic, and military actions that have shaken entire sectors of the global ...
