Good one, Sam. Is Times Square pedestrianized now ?

Cambridge  1962. Clearing away the stalls

The only camera that I know of that was designed for use with gloves was the original Hasselblad, which was intended for wildlife photography in the Swedish winter. Note the heavy knurling on the ...

A very nice photo of a beautiful animal. I don't know those beetles at all. It looks as thought it's made of solid gold.

That's correct. A 35mm focal length lens on an APS-C camera gives what is often called a "normal" angle of view, like a 50mm lens on a Full Frame camera. ("Normal" covers a range of angles of view, ...

A card that is printed with YMCK inks won't tell you much. It used to be possible to get cards from Winsor and Newton with samples of the actual paints. These are quite useful for checking ...

The Foveon Blue or Yellow settings in SPP are for exaggeration and fun, not for accuracy.

They do, but in a year or two, when the OP wants to upgrade, the prices for used Sony A7r2 should be lower than now. These high resolution models are still competitive in crop mode.

Lenses from Sigma and other independent makers are reasonably priced.

Exactly the same as if you put a brand new 35mm lens on the same camera. The angle of view is reduced in proportion to the width of the sensor.

The FB setting for the Merrill exaggerates both blue and yellow. (Ideal for red/green-blind men.) The FB and FY settings for Quattro are separate, so you can have either vivid blue or vivid yellow, ...

Good story with a happy ending. The photo of apples is delicious. The DP2 certainly takes better pictures than the GRII. ;-)

As the junior crew member. Peg Leg Pete was the captain. Minnie Mouse was a passenger (eventually).

Is this the Laguna that Slim Gaillard sang about ?

Thanks. One of those lucky shots.

These are very good, especially the first one. Maybe I should start using my NEX-5N again.

Yes, better avoided. A tube of white acrylic paint can be had quite cheaply from any art-and-crafts supplier. (Don't use oil paint, the oil is yellow.)

The spectral response curves of the three filters have little resemblance to those of the cones in the retina. Nor do they need to. The best, most accurate colour is given by a window or a mirror. ...

Definitely successful. What type of film(s) are you using ?

Titanium White paint has a very flat spectrum.
