Headed up to Alaska later this week to see my son, wife and kids as well as a daughter who lives with them so it's mostly a casual family type trip. They live in Gustavus which is near Juneau, ...

Just got some new glass. I sold my old Version 1 of the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 and decided to give the Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 G2 a try as the price and reviews both seemed good. So far my test shots ...

I picked up a few new lenses this week. All 3 were really purchased for my DSLR line of bodies but I could see using the Sigma ART 135mm f1.8 with a converter. I tried it today just for a few ...

I was having focus problems with one of my Tamron lenses that was still under warranty and after they tried to fix it they contacted me to ask if I could ship my camera body to them to test ...

I purchased a lens through the connection they set  up for me with Henry's Camera. The Canon M lens I wanted was not sold at that time in the USA but was in Canada. The transaction was great. Also ...

I've been checking out the website for Scott Kelby's 2017 World Wide Photo Walk and saw that the grand prize for the photo judging is the Canon M5 with the kit lens. Canon is one of the big ...

Thanks for  your suggestion, I checked out their website and now I'm thinking of the M for my truck camera and just converting the M3 to an infrared camera!

So far I am pretty happy with my M5 and I am thinking of what to do with my M3 and original M. I really only want carry one M body in my light travel kit. I still shoot DSLRs for different kinds ...

I only just got my M5 on Thursday and haven't tried it yet with anything other than the M lenses but I might have a go with it and my longer lenses. I am headed back to South Africa and Namibia in ...

Just got back from a few weeks in Namiba. I made a day trip to the Cape Cross Seal Reserve where thousands of seals from young to old reside. I mostly shot my long shots with the Tamron 150-600mm ...

I had one of the early models of the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8, aka A007. By early I mean I got it when it first was released and mine had a pretty low serial number. Overall a very nice lens. But ...

Always love your shots and point of view. In scanning through your stuff here it looks very working class which so many tourists miss. Could be India or China but it's all the same, good hard ...

Nice! Always better than sitting at home/

Some unexpected bonus money came in and the wife said I could afford to upgrade to the M5. I own and shoot regularly with the M and M3 with the EVF.  I own the 11-22mm, 22mm, 28mm Macro, 18-55mm ...

My first foray into digital was with one of the predecessors, the Sony Mavica MVC-FD7 which also stored images on a floppy disk. I was working with a client who was hosting a trade show and he...

I agree and over the years I have bought and sold a lot of gear on Ebay, I even liquidated most of my studio there when I quit studio work and went completely digital. The fees are too high and I ...

This  lens is on the top of my "To Buy" list! I've been leaning towards more fast prime's with my Canon 5Ds. I got the Sigma 20mm ART a few months ago abd an very happy with it and will get the ...

I do most of my Lightroom work on my desktop system in my office but I also have it on my laptop which is mainly used when I travel for more than a few days or if I want to tether my Canon 5DR. So ...

Maybe I should have been clearer, I just find for me the fully Auto mode (on a Canon it is the setting with the green square with an A in it) very limiting but I think it's fine that it's there ...

I have used Nations Photo Lab for 10 years or so and overall been happy. At this stage I print more for myself than clients but I routinely do 11x14 through 20x 24 inch prints in both BW and ...
