obsolescence

I compared Raw files from my Laowa 7.5mm to my Olympus Zuiko 7-14mm (4:3 lens) at 7mm, and with no barrel distortion correction in processing, the Laowa is just as wide (actually 7mm), although it ...

When I write "full-frame fisheye" I'm referring to a lens that covers the frame, not necessarily in FF format, to be distinguished from a "circular fisheye" that renders a circular image within the...

I would like to see a comparison of this lens vs. defished full-frame fisheye using radial sharpening for both (sharpening applied progressively toward the corners). I have gotten good results with...

Sometimes a scratch may have resulted from impact against a sharp object, which could also cause misalignment of the front element or group. That was the case with an expensive used lens I once...

How about including a picture taken from above showing a man's hand gripping the camera with a typical 24-70mm lens attached?

It's like trying to argue image quality with a blind mathematician. It's not about concepts but rather actual image results when testing lenses. If the tests are effective (or not) in revealing...

You refer to "available pixels" without considering the Bayer matrix effect on the image, which includes artifacts that are nearly eliminated with P-S capture. You can cite mathematical theory all...

I'm not sure what your comparison demonstrates – perhaps differences in camera mount tolerance accuracy? It would be more useful to compare P-S vs standard capture with one lens at a time on one...

Noise obscures detail, which limits observable lens performance. Pixel Shift capture is very much like using a higher-res sensor, which most certainly distinguishes higher lens performance. I see...

Wouldn’t it be possible to mount a miniature battery-powered “pod” onto any drone, which would use a pre-programmed SIM card provided by the FAA for those of us having Part 107 Cert?

Still need a bag bellows for movements and the ability to move the back close to the lens without the base interfering with viewing the ground glass and focusing. I don’t see either feature here....

No wide angle capability? (Bag bellows isn't 'stylish' enough.)

No matter what mic or extension cord I plug into the mic jack, it doesn't stay in and works its way out partly, leaving only one channel of sound. I would send it in for repair (out of warranty), ...

Yep. Still, a good idea for a photo pose. The next one includes the girl's shadow in the composition.

Don't be afraid to stop down.

Oh, I guess there must be a model bird up there. Nice juxtaposition of shadows.

Great effect! How did he do it? ... was it serendipity or timing or both?

@ausfarmerjoe -- That is incorrect. Using pixel shift, the camera can resolve greater detail (also with less noise) from a high-performance lens, compared to standard res capture. I do this with...

Perhaps separate ratings should be given for stills & video performance of hybrid cameras.

Panasonic bodies’ multi-shot modes don’t work with strobe, needed for some studio work.
