Actually, consumer demand for all cameras is dropping off a cliff. 35mm lenses are capturing more market share... in a market that is plummeting towards the sea. In a few years, camera ...

I've explained to you twice already how auctions give an incomplete picture of market value. To make it somehow even more explicit: Imagine that only 25% of Amazon's stock was traded on the NASDAQ, ...

No, you just ignored what I said. You also don't understand the difference between economic value and market value (see below), though in fairness I wasn't precise about that either. To reiterate: ...

The OP was actually trying to be snarky about... something, presumably the insanity of the art world and/or art auctions. At any rate, he specifically started by saying "In terms of art value," a ...

I do. I also understand the art world a bit more than most people. That's how I know (per my post above) that: • Most sales aren't happening at auctions • Auction prices are at best fickle, at ...

Sorry, but no, they aren't. If you are looking exclusively at monetary value, auctions are only a part of the total. Most art is sold via galleries or individual sales. Often, this means that ...

Gursky's Rhein II is a digitally manipulated image. Gursky, Richard Prince, and Cindy Sherman dominate the list. They're all using digital capture now. Gilbert & George, also on the list, have used ...

Yeah, there's a reason I don't read that site. Much like today, in the pre-digital age photographers (and gearheads) constantly demanded for sharper films, lenses and images. Brands constantly ...

Cotton Carrier makes a few different types of harnesses that will probably work better with longer lenses than the Peak system.

Yeah, you can. I've done it, many times, as part of the process of choosing a format. If you can't figure out how to make a practical comparison between formats, then you're doing it wrong. Uh, ...

That's because the camera manual is a reference guide for how to use a specific camera, not a textbook on how to take photos.

I've tested M43, APS and 35mm sensor formats, printing from Lightroom. (I.e. I didn't use any sort of specific upscaling software.) I also have a lot of experience printing 35mm and medium-format ...

Uhhhh... Did you somehow not notice a global pandemic that caused wide-spread shortages, shipping delays, and increases in prices for a variety of products...? That said, picking out a few items ...

That post screams "scam." The plan is to what, stave off imminent homelessness with vague promises of a job, where they charge $30/pop? They want lighting equipment and free assistants? The plan is ...

Uh... okay.... In the pre-digital days, most people bought compact cameras or simple SLRs. Pros and "prosumers" bought a fairly small number of cameras. When digital took off, camera manufacturers ...

I'm not talking about aesthetic choices, I'm talking about optical properties of the equipment, hence my emphasis on "technical" in my post. "Image quality" is not the same thing as "aesthetic merit."

You might be in the wrong subforum for that. :D Anyway. If you are discussing technical aspects of image quality, that means, as mostly already discussed: • Sufficient resolution for your final ...

When the Panasonic GX8 came out, it was the "GX8 Forum" for a few weeks. Then it was back to normal. If the worst thing in your life is that you have to scroll past a few OM-1 posts, then consider ...

I don't think I ever predicted the doom of M43. My recollection is that I was somewhat concerned that Olympus being split off could be an issue. As a result, I stocked up a little bit on Oly gear. ...

Nope. A lot of it is just status signaling. If "best" means "highest resolution" or "most expensive," then definitely not. I have. In fact, I could squeeze a lot more resolution out of my cameras ...
