I wanted to see how the files from the 35 APO looked with my usual processing scheme--especially how they compared to files produced using my ZM 35/1.4.

Do you know where Sony arw.files from the new Voigtlander 35mm f/2 APO E mount lens can be downloaded? I've seen some nice jpg samples, but nothing in raw format. Thanks.

Well, I meant to ask if it was possible that I might unknowingly purchase a previously-returned lens.

What happens to lenses that are purchased but then returned? Many retailers offer generous return policies. Over the past twenty years that I've relied on B&H I've returned a couple of lenses--and ...

Agreed. I use Topaz Gigapixel AI when I have something that won't print at my desired 300 ppi resolution at the size I want. I use it occasionally with my A7R III, because it is slow and it takes ...

Re: attachments for ball heads and quick releases: in general use, is there any significant difference in the strength of the attachment points using the standard screw mounts? The shear strength ...

Thanks for that.

Thanks for checking.

I've been unable to find the Mindshift pouch. Do you have any leads? Thanks.

The Mengs head (and the apparently identical Leofoto head, plus some others that might be made in the same shop) are nearly identical copies of the RRS BPB-16. Other similar RRS knock-offs are ...

You have repeatedly taken the time to report that the new Sony camera is a complete disaster and that it is markedly inferior to the Canon offering. Your comments are reflected on another forum by...

Because my most-used lens on hikes is a moderate wide angle, I think that you might enjoy the newly-released Sigma 24mm f/3.5. It's small and only 230 grams--and the images that I've seen so far ...

Good idea. FWIW, this is a variation on an concept that's been promoted off and on for years by Mike Johnston, the former editor of Photo Technique (and, FWIW, the guy who made us all add an "h" to ...

I enjoy using a 25mm lens as a hiking lens. 25-ish mm equivalent has been my favorite outdoor focal length for decades. Although I do often carry one other lens while hiking--either a tiny 85mm ...

"It's worth clarifying that when they said they couldn't find the space to have extra elements to make the 45 as sharp as they wanted, they meant **at closer focussing distances and wide...

I appreciate your willingness to correct errors (re: the weather sealing--although your assessment of sharpeness is clearly reasonable for your sample of the lens.)

Perhaps you like the 45 because the designers of that lens could not achieve the sharpness that they desired in such a small form factor and so instead retained the spherical aberration that gives...

The zoom in combination with the 45 and your 85 seems like a reasonable plan. However, since you've enjoyed the 35-85 combination, you might make things easy on yourself by simply picking up the ...
