Interesting analysis that might help others. A couple of comments, though... While I agree with your thoughts on ISO as far as they go, I'm more interested in image characteristics in the ISO ...

I've had this happen a couple of times with the 2X. The first time really worried me, but in a second I discovered that just zooming the lens out a bit released the limiter. Not a biggie once you ...

Take a look at the Build Order for your 3 galleries. If you want them to play at the same time, select "With the Previous Build", or "With Build 1". It sounds like you've currently got them set ...

I use Capture One and can’t comment about LR, but you’ve already gotten a lot of input about LR and its profile for this lens. The distortion, vignetting, and noticeable edge softening at the long ...

Do you mean that the "show" is really 3 images displayed on one slide, and that the images need to build and disappear independently? That's easy with Keynote and PowerPoint (I prefer Keynote): Pla ...

Turning over in his grave, I guess. What do you think?

I had my RF 24-105L repaired by CPS in January. They said they had to replace and entire front lens module, so it sounds like they can't just replace the front element like they did on my EF ...

Nope. Just like System Settings always opens at the top of the list and always highlights "Appearance", and there's no option to "open at last-used setting". So, for example, if you need to ...

On all of my machines, I have to press Fn along with the Delete key. And pressing Fn along with one of the Function keys invokes a function from the Function key. Pressing the Fn (“globe”) key ...

It was the default in my Keyboard Settings pane; maybe you changed something? What bugs me is so many options that require pressing ">" to see, and they're not consistent. And some, like some of ...

On my M2 MBP, the Fn key also has the globe. Pressing the key brings up the Emojis. Frankly, I strongly dislike the new iOSified "Settings" panel and have posted such to Apple. Too much scrolling, ...

This is OK for reach, but be aware that AF will be slower with the Extender, and your 5D3 may end up being able to AF with only the center point, which I find very hard to use for birds. I prefer ...

There are a number of threads on this subject; just search for something like "ef lens on rf camera". I've got a number of EF lenses and all work better on my R5's than they did on any of my DSLRs, ...

I don't know that Nikon actually makes their filters. I've had excellent results from Hoya HD and HD2 filters. I see they're now on the 3rd generation, and it looks pretty pricey. One thing I like ...

First guess: Have you installed any software (including updates) coincident with the onset of crashes? Even a macOS update could have created problems with software that didn't have problems ...

There are several "which monitor should I get" threads in the Retouching forum. You should be able to at least narrow your monitor choices down from there.

You just went from an Intel machine running (at most) El Capitan (capable of running 32-bit apps and HFS+ filesystem) to an Apple Silicon machine that can't run 32-bit apps, uses APFS, AND has ...

True; I wanted to be sure that "what if the machine needs to be repaired/replaced" consideration was mentioned. It wasn't as important when we could remove/replace the internal drive, but Apple ...

For most people, I don't understand why an internal SSD larger than 1 TB (maybe 512 GB) makes much sense. In the unusual (but still possible) event that the machine needs servicing, all of that ...

I've used Delkin and ProGrade USB-C readers on Macs (Mojave and Ventura) without any problems. I've never heard of Wise, which may be why B&H no longer carries them. I've been using Delkin Power ...
