A negative film shouldn't be called "chrome".

On https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/page/super-8-camera/ it says "Micro USB". Regarding the EU, the USB-C requirement does not begin until December 2014, though, and it doesn't mean existing...

Names are smoke and mirrors. What does it matter what those sensor sizes are called as long as we know their exact dimensions?

That said, objectively, compared to the mainstream of digital...

@Becksvart: that's a grim outlook you're painting for us Linuxians regarding screen calibration (even though as a Linux Mint user I don't expect to be forced to go Wayland very soon), but...

Alle the more since it (and/or ArgyllCMS) seems to be the only way to calibrate a screen on Linux.

Doesn't the calibration dialog in the article's first image even look a bit like DisplayCAL?

The...

And you can get a 50mm f/1.8 even cheaper than that.

To add to what @HowaboutRAW said, "the same sensor" can also come with different filter stacks on top, which again may come with different levels of AA filtering. As Leica is rather known for...

@Nerdy_Andreas – yeah, seems we mostly agree, and it's more a linguistic question. But the 'intelligence' term covers a large range, even in the animal realm. And whether we like it or not – it has...

@Nerdy_Andreas: ChatGPT and DALL-E and the like *are* different. Not by principle, but by their factual creative potential, which is a completely new level. And while that is still far way from...

@dan pv: Even with today's cutting-edge "creative" AI algorithms like ChatGPT and DALL-E and so on, AI is still worlds away from real intelligence. The current state of camera functions like...

@MyReality: "Correct exposure and sharpness are bourgeois concepts", nice try, and nice line :-) Still, the images that struck me as underexposed were simply underexposed, nothing artistic about...

Exposing pictures even halfway correctly seems to have gone out of fashion these days.

"As until now evidence is rather on the opponent's side"—if that's really what you see, then we can only hope for you that your eyes function substantially better in your photography.

Anyway,...

"If it was as wide spread a problem as you suggest it is, they would have changed construction methods"—you obviously have no idea how market economy works. As long as people let themselves be...

Also, people who come to the defence of a manufacturer by defending plastic mounts are doing them a disfavor. Because of its clear disadvantages, if a manufacturer continues to cling to plastic...

@marike6: You're right in this. A lens does not become light and small by exchanging a metal mount for a plastic mount. It has to be light and small already. Size is unchanged, and weight is...

I never claimed a metal mount prevents all accidents. I don't need your council, either, I know what to do, I'm a grown-up person and I'm not dumb, either. Also, you're not entitled to speak for...

Things rarely break on "normal use". Accidents happen. And yes, I know many metal mounts are screwed into plastic. But they themselves don't wear and don't tear, and parts of them don't get broken...

@m_black: Now I'm afraid I don't even get what you try to say (except the part of me being silly, of course, that was easy). Do you want to say a plastic mount lens shouldn't be used on a heavier...

@wjan: If an object is very lightweight, possibly even so light that its weight itself might hardly be noticeable, the fact that a part of it makes "15-20% of weight" of it does not make that part...
