For 4x to 6x images of stamps, a scanner makes sense. For much larger images or big prints, a camera with copy stand and lights makes a much better quality image.

I stand corrected. I only skimmed the specs and didn't have time to watch the video. Sorry.

No built in teleconverter?

I see this in the bike world. People go out of their way to buy counterfeit high end bicycle knock off parts. That $400 knock off of a handlebar you got for $20 is going to kill you. Or that super ...

In one word, no. There are nice photographers, but more are not from what I have seen.

I like this. See if you can pick up the gear for what you were paid after explaining what happened. Pile all of what you were given and bringvitvto her and dump it on her doorstep. Be prepared to ...

With a name we trust like GoPro, I wish they would come out with a dash camera with sensible set of features. High quality video with a well made camera. After a crash, it could load a clip to...

Maybe one hit of harder drugs.

Crooks don't generally know what is good or cheap. The fact that you are holding a camera is enough. They don't know a Leica is worth more than a Sony. Do you know what the street hock value is on ...

I carry my gear in a roller bag that fits under the seat of the plane. Full sized pro body and usually 3 or 4 lenses up to a 200-400. When I spent 6 weeks riding a bicycle through Europe, I used an ...

I learned that trick when shooting sports. Being able to see things that can really hurt you I critical. Keep both eyes open.

Maybe for you. I have no trouble hand holding my 7.4lb 200-400 lens for hours. My longest day was the 8 hours I spent shooting the Pensacola air show. I'm happy to use a monopod when the action is ...

That photo with the tiny little camera body on a 400 f2.8 is totally hilarious. Couldn't they make the camera body half that size so it is TOTALLY useless? I could put that body in the photo...

Enthusiasts and older shooters who just aren't strong enough to carry around a pro camera are who these mirrorless cameras are being marketed to.
Pros want the best tool for the purpose and don't...

I enjoyed reading the comment section with people defending and bashing the 200-400. Even Thom was there defending his review of the older lens. I absolutely LOVE my 200-400 and am very happy with ...

A pretty large number of people have very deep pockets. They all rush to get an early copy of anything new. It's good for people like me who wait for discounted used lenses. When a new version is ...

Exactly. Just as long as they please.
