When these cousins were toddlers, one was a little shy, and the other one, well the other one wasn't.

Today, I spent two hours in a hide along the edge of a cypress wetland that skirts a large lake in the Wapanocca National Wildlife Refuge -- hoping some of he ducks would swim into the little ...

If you rent from LensRentals.com, they often will allow you to convert the rental to a purchase.  Or you can simply buy used gear from their affiliate, LensAuthority.com.  All together over the ...

I like this!  It's a clever idea for a photo.  I wish I could think of a tidy way to hide or mask the ragged cut edge at the opening of the duct, but I can't.  I certainly don't know of any way to ...

In the first image, the DOF is so deep that the mountain tops seem as sharply focused as the foreground -- at least to my eye. I don't know why the final image is blurry, but my best guess is that ...

I have often shot stacks where the focus point in the first image was right where I expected it to be, and the last shot was entirely out of focus. But that only happened because I shot more ...

I use the Lenscoat product, and I like it.  However, I'm tempted to cut it down to a shorter size.  I'm over six feet tall, and it is more than long enough to cover me standing behind a fully ...

I may be missing the point of your question, but the "collar" is a tripod foot.  You'll need it if you use the lens on a tripod.  The lens is certainly too heavy to use with a tripod that is ...

Looks like KUVRD has given up on their strap. https://kuvrdcamera.com/collections/all/products/universal-camera-strap They'll sell you the discontinued (and worthless) strap for $55!  No warranty. ...

In that case, wouldn't a couple of rubber bands solve the loop issue? I very often adjust the strap length, and the ease of doing so with this strap is a big plus for me.

Thanks for that tip!  I'm going to give that two-handed brush stroke a try right away.

I post-process and store my photos on a MacBook Pro, using Lightroom and Photoshop. I haven't used a mouse for years, but occasionally I wonder if a mouse might work better, perhaps for making ...

Thanks for the kind words.  I do have a nice print on this photo.

I'm a relentless pixel-peeper.  I've been shooting this lens a lot, first on a Z6, now on a Z7; and it still knocks my socks off.  I gotta think something's amiss with your particular copy.

Placed 21^st in the challenge. Bowl of hickory nuts.

I've always kept a lens on the camera, for convenience and to minimize the time the sensor is exposed to dust.  I've recently switched to a mirrorless camera, and it seems a little more prone to ...
