Scanning may be tricky for many people, but if you start from a simple, correctly controlled scan front any decent commercial lab, you have an open highway to control image quality fit to your...

WOW 2! I feel flattered to be compared to the great late Michael Reichmann! Needless to mention his importance in the early transition to digital era.
I am just an old photographer from a...

The key word here is hobbyist. For this category of photographer there still are commercial labs doing good quality negative scans. Whoever dares to make it themselves must study and learn the...

I am sorry for your experience. I have a completely different view from transposing film images to digital. First, there is no true color. Each film and paper had and still have a distinctive color...

For sure! Since my very first digital experience I realized that. I have a full study of the advantages of square sensors, but I never published it 😕
It is a simple physical feature that can...

I have the same experience with 35mm originals. The main difference is the use of diffuse light, that shows much less dirt and scars than the colimated scanner beam. It depends so much on the...

That is really insane!
It seems that the proposal for a moratorium on the technological development of photographic equipment is under preparation. As some are complaining here, it gives the...

BOTTOMLINE 2: So many people in need of psychological help. First, they spend thousands of words to disdain of the new camera features, as if they are worthless and you can do just the same with...

No need of lenses, as I make pinhole. No card, cause I just pretend to be a photographer. And no computer, since I still don't understand how it works and what is its function.

BOTTOMLINE: (or should I call FOREWORD, as this late post will figure on the top of the comments)
This was a funny discussion. I take it so, or should I be concerned with the desperate state of...

I started with digital cameras in 2002. I was doing stills and repro work with 4x5 and 8x10 film for a client. Their need for faster and lower cost processes made me buy a Nikon D100. Despite the...

You can use you smartphone or a tablet, whichever you already have, no exta cost, to have that larger screen, touch commanding not just the shutter, but many important settings. Have you tried...

I'd rather trust a paid ambassador than any paid or unpaid troll! Actually, it is not a matter of trusting, because any educated pro will not be fooled by luring publicity nor by cheap critics.

I guess you are not following sensor evolution. Sony has been doing the opposite but logical direction. From small sensors to larger. Their 1" sensors have much of the features of A1's since long....

@entropy512
For unusual applications, I agree with you. But for many every day practical solutions, such as focus Stacking or selective focus, perspective correction or diferencial exposure, every...

I don't mean to make a shortcut, but the first computation processing that comes to my mind is Focus Stacking. This is the pleasure and workhorse of many today. Since long I imagine that this could...

Congrats DPR. You were straight on the core. And you made it clear that the FF stacked sensor in A1 represents one more technological hurdle the industry has overcome. And it took just 7 minutes,...

DPR's conclusions are much like what I have experienced using IE. There is just one important information missing: RAW images opened in Image Edge show the effects set in camera using Creative...

Now Sony just needs to make a good camera for wedding photos, capable of high ISO and low noise, maybe a second option with high pixel count, both with silent shutter and good focus tracking. Then...

Seen the image. It was just a dream...
