I think there is significant sample variation... I tested more than one before buying, and mine is pretty good at 300

Hugin can take a single image and alter the projection.  Changing it to some form of cylindrical does what fisheye hemi does, for free with more options.

Yes, but the  I get the extra 100mm

Tempting as it is, f6.3 on the long end is less than ideal. I’ll stick with the 12-100 and 75-300.

Exposure X4 has a full DAM, hierarchical keywords, ratings etc. I switched over a year ago from ACDSee and I'm very happy.

Alien Skin Exposure X4 comes pretty close to the LR experience with some innovative wrinkles thrown in.  Worth a trial.

Well, THAT made a stir over at Topaz.  I think they heard the message and are taking it seriously.  No doubt they’ll fix it in time.  IMHO AI applications are the future of photographic computing. ...

This bug has been discussed it this forum.... aretfacts introduced when files are saved that are not present in the processed image within the program. There has been a thread in the Topaz forum on it

Ouch. 1kg weight, roughly double the mk ii, which is even heavier than the mk i.  Not for me methinks.

I’ll get a Mark ii  when prices fall, or pick up a used one

It has become a requested feature. I don’t find it inconvenient. It  was a separate step in ACDSee  anyway. I just need to remember to do it. It creates standard universally readable xmp sidecar ...

Me too...  left it idle for 6 months, big mistake, and had to replace the black ink switching damper, a real diy challenge,  but  it keeps on ticking. Mine is 12 years old.

FI used ACDSee for years. The internal proprietary database is pretty good, BUT the embedding of metadata created a nightmare of duplicate and inconsistent keywords in the IPTC field. When i ...

The picture with the hand suggests it’s smaller than it looks in the other shots. More importantly, is there any idea of what it will WEIGH?

Whatever you decide, test it first. I bout a used 75-300 from Henry’s. Before purchase I tested it and a new one.  The used one was significantly sharper at 300, so there is sample variation in ...

Sounds like a software glitch, hardware.  You can reset the printer to its initial settings in the lcd menu.  “initialize”.

As far as I know, the 3800 and 3800 are mechanically identical, the only difference being in the cyan and magenta inks.

I use it on an E-M1 mk1. Dual stabilization works beautifully, and used bodies can be had for a third the price of a new mk2.
