RetCapt

I have the TC101 telephoto converter for my TG-4.   The addition of this lens extends the maximum available focal length to (35mm equivalent of) 170mm.     But it is not a zoom.  The TG lens needs ...

Having read this entire thread, let me first emphasize that YMMV.    Some respondents have been quite insistent, even arbitrary, with their recommendations, but the final decision is yours.    My ...

Aperture was f4.5.    I never have to remember any of this or take notes like I did in my film days since there is exif data.   If you run your cursor over the image it will give the exif data for ...

Randy, I understand your concerns about maximizing DOF, but I don't think you need be concerned.    I have attached a typical tourist shot of my bride taken in 2009 in San Francisco.    It was ...

Greatly enjoyed your photographs.   We are privileged to live in the region, but I had to put in a whole career and retire to be able to afford to move here.    Definitely worth it.

I am a life-long western fan.   Loved and still love the old black and white films, not just westerns but film noir too.    Back in my early film days I of course shot and processed black and ...

I have never cared, either way, how I am perceived based on my camera.   But that lack of pretension has not prevented my gathering a world-wide reputation for my photographic skills.   Several ...

I have the older (chrome) 18-200mm lens, and I have been very happy with it.    It is of course, somewhat bulky, but that one lens takes the place of two in my full frame system. Ergonomics aside ...

I have and use DSLR, MILC and compact camera systems ranging from full frame to small sensor, OVF EVF and LCD.   What I use is determined by my photographic circumstances.   On the surface this ...

In my estimation it is good enough for a beginner, but the subsequent question should be for how long.    I had a long background in film, but tentatively acquired a compact digital to see if I ...

Does not look promising in the water/shock resistant 'tough' category either.   The PowerShot D30 has been listed as out of stock for months.   One source lists it as discontinued.    It is long ...

Somewhat generally, and perhaps then peripherally, I can attest to the ruggedness of the old rangefinder cameras.    I never had an M series Leica, but I had (and still have) a number of thread ...

Two points to clarify: 1.   These small sensor 'Tough' cameras are not 1" sensors.    They are 1/2.3", which is smaller.   What I said about results still stands. 2.  The 'Tough' cameras do not ...

You have already stated you want to do scenic shots (as would be expected under the circumstances) which means you will usually have ample light.    The next question would be what do you want to ...

At the time (late 2010/early 2011) I was looking for a bridge between my full frame DSLR system and my small sensor tough compact.    The tough compact was/is outstanding within its design ...

At the risk of derailing a great thread, I have to ask if rivet counters could be related to pixel peepers (principle of cross-pollination). Not only have I put this thread at risk (for which I ...

Muchas gracias for posting.   I was familiar with (and an admirer of) Mr. Link's art.   I had also read some references to the divorce in which he was so severely victimized.   The video biography ...

We have been to Disneyland (SoCal) numerous times, so I know what is the ideal camera for me, but not necessarily for someone else.     First off, I see no reason to be so negatively judgemental ...

I agree with donmarse and several others, but who seem to be in the minority.   I did not find her offensive nor did I get the impression she was trying to talk down to anyone.   If one reads ...

Yes, my error.
