For quick and dirty b&w from digital images I still use the free version, but for real b&w I feed a roll film back on my large format camera with Rollei RPX 25 or Ilford Delta 100. No app can beat...

There are tens of thousands so-called Polaroid backs for medium and large format cameras in the world, which wait to be fed again with instant film. So when will Fuji revive the »Fuji FP-100C...

I have some 120 films from Fuji and Kodak which deliver unexpected colors, because they expired 04/2009. Anyone interested? All films are 100 ISO, packed in the original foil. Only 10 Euro per...

The better choice: Fuji X-E4 with any X lens. The body comes for a third of the price and the X lenses are fantastic. Perfect for image makers. Something like Pixii is for collectors who prefer it...

Interesting from the tech aspects, but all I need is a mobile phone to call someone in an emergency. For making images, I use my large format camera, because real photography offers front and rear...

A while ago I read following statement somewhere, and it still is and will be valid for the next decades:

Back when there was only film, most people with a camera pointed their Instamatic at a...

Truly amazing how much detail Hubble captures over that distance. 747 light years. Which reminds of Stephen Hawking, who stated the »Anthropic Principle«:

We see the universe as it is because we...

Who are you that you want me to disclose company internals? Do you think a nobody would get a reply from Coca-Cola if you ask them for the ingredients? If you had some brains, you would have...

Looks like urine to me because there is no life in the glass. This is definitely NOT the way to photograph beer professionally.

It will be the Nikon Z9, because last week Sony has taken over the Nikon company.

Built-in battery: A no-go. I have a Sekonic L-398a that runs without any battery, a Sekonic L-608 which needs a CR123a battery and a Gossen ProfiSix which needs a 9V block battery. No battery is...

The European copyright law clearly states that the author retains all rights to the image. Copyright is not transferable. The author can only grant the user (client) the right of use for certain...

If EPA would analyze the production of sensors, chances are high they would ban all digital cameras immediately. But wait, the raw material for sensors and LiIOn batteries are mined in other...

When I see the »huge and fat« body of this camera and the tiny sensor buried in it, I know there is something wrong. Comparing it to my Fuji GW 690 III Professional where the recording media is...

Roger, thank you very much for your in-depth information!

Fortunately I never ran into the above mentioned problems because I've never had wide open lenses, except for an »old« Nikkor 1.4/50mm....

The Gossen ProfiSix with an SBC has the same features. Both are still serviceable. You can purchase a 9V block battery (lasts at least 2 years) almost everywhere — better than USB charging, because...

Hamish, my comment has been published for about half an hour (it was visible!), then it was gone. You should send a complaint to WordPress — their weired behavior and coding is definitely not my...

It definitely makes more sense to invest into a Sekonic L-398A (around 199 Euro, doesn't need any batteries) or a Gossen Digisix 2 (around 139 Euro, uses cheap standard batteries) which even...

A company that can not deliver a distortion free architecture image? Don't they know how to handle their own »PC« lenses, or didn't they want to hire a professional photographer because they turned...

Is darkness in videos and images is a new trend? I hate this dull, low contrast and dark stuff. Too many amateurs out there who don't have a clue about using light.
