Since Canon actually makes a camera named R5 and Sony doesn't, maybe we should stick to the actual name, a7RV, or perhaps RV for short? It's definitely a conundrum as all the manufacturers seem to ...

How so?  Not challenging this assertion.  Just genuinely curious.

This appears to be in the exact same format and style as Kraig Adams' videos. I am totally OK with that as I love Kraig Adams' work. More people should emulate it and improve on it. I've been ...

Couldn't get through the video. You can tell he's winging it so it comes off as unorganized and not very well thought out. I'm sure he's a smart guy, but a video consisting of primarily talking to ...

[...] Then avoid Lightroom Classic (the latest descendent from LR6) and Capture One.  These can be frustrating to users who don't want to spend time learning their intricacies. Personally, I would ...

well well well https://gregbenzphotography.com/photography-tips/acr-15-adds-high-dynamic-range-output/ It's a "technology preview" and it's currently limited to macOS only.  Looking forward to ...

Sorry, any thoughts on my hunch that a base ISO of 800 when shooting N-Log video is, practically speaking, implemented similarly to Nikon's Active D-Lighting and Fuji DR200/400 features? I.e. the ...

Nikon Z9 base ISO for shooting stills = 64 Nikon Z9 base ISO for shooting video in N-Log = 800 Sony, Panasonic, Fuji, Canon- they all do something similar with their log profiles. Is this ...

Nice series. I suspect you might enjoy much of the work featured over at subjectivelyobjective.com . They gravitate toward featuring artists who do a lot of small town rural photography. For example: ...

As already stated, JPG shooters should aim for getting close to a final image straight out of camera. So they should definitely adjust ISO to taste. For raw shooters it's a little more nuanced. ...

[...] [...] [...] Thank you so, so much! You've been a goldmine of useful starter info. _REALLY_ appreciate it. If I have any luck I'll be sure to report back with samples. And speaking of HDR TVs, ...

Thank you, that was incredibly helpful in getting me oriented to this technology. You've given me a bunch of great jumping off points to learn more. Really appreciate it. It seems like the video ...

So it turns out high bit depth is not a requirement for HDR display of HDR-capable photos. HDR display capable photos taken on an iPhone and stored in a HEIF container are, surprisingly, 8-bit, ...

As we all know, HDR displays are generally capable of much brighter peak output than traditional standard dynamic range, or SDR, displays. A few years ago Richard Butler wrote about the exciting ...

What's been lost in the subsequent discussion is I started this thread once my 1.4x already shipped, so I don't need it from any other shop.  I was just letting people know my wait time was 5 ...

Actually I'm the OP, and my 1.4x is already in transit (after a 5 month wait).  But thanks for looking out PLShutterbug.

That's a good counterpoint to Patrick's experience.  I guess there's a considerable element of luck, whether you go with big retailers or small.
