All pictures are excellent! And I noticed that you fell in love with that mega-zoom lens :-) .

Well, I would prefer for the roses , as it sings George Johns, but what can we do. Just to expect another squirrel invasion next year :-( . And thanks for looking.

Excellent shot! Actually, yesterday I was thinking about you that you somehow disappeared from the forum :-) .

O.K. guys, you are probably right! I thought that at the time when 3 CCD video cameras were used, their Bayer (photo) alternative used as well only three filters per pixel. But yes, it would be a ...

One difference is that the older sensors (I assume that all CCDs) used only RGB filters. So, less "greens" if nothing else. But even this difference should be possible to eliminate by PP.

Well, that can be an explanation. If you guys are old enough, you might remember "great" vacuum tube amplifiers, they as well are considered to deliver better sound. And the only difference ...

Well, I read that article and don't agree with their sensor classification. Both, CCD and CMOS are analogue devices! At least their photosensitive part. A first one converts light into electric ...

All posted pictures are fantastic. Now I am in doubt, whether the CMOS-equipped cameras can really deliver the same colour. Theoretically they should, as the sensors, and regardless whether CCD or ...

You know Doug, I have changed my preferences of the lenses when I bought the Tamron 90/2.8 Macro lens. My lenses before that purchase were just (except a kit zoom) the DA 16-45/4 and DA 35/2.8 ...

Nice pictures! So, which lens you like most? I found the DA*50-135 as the best, at least its bokeh is nicest.

Absolutely gorgeous pictures!

Very nice catch, Tom!

Excellent!

They are all beautiful pictures!

Excellent!

Thanks for reply. I think that those shown apertures are "physical", i.e. they include 1 EV loss due to 1.4 x focal length extension. So, F9:5 is actually fully open lens at its maximum focal ...

Very good pictures! Now, what was the actual aperture used? When EXIF shows, for example, f:7.1, is the lens itself closed to f:7.1, or this is including the TC 1.4 factor, i.e. the lens itself is ...

Well, my advice is to get two zoom lenses, the DA 20-40 (which I don't have) and DA 50-300 PLM. Then maybe some 15mm prime. I have bought the DA 50-300 PLM just few months ago and now it is  ...

Finally Ricoh came with an excellent camera. But what should they add another, wide-angle converter to make it around 26mm. And I could (almost) rid of my Pentax gear 🤯 .

And I just tested it on my K-S1, the highlight correction works in both shooting modes. If a subject exhibits higher contrast, the camera suddenly selects ISO 200 instead of 100 (under otherwise ...
