Telephoto is the one issue I have with smartphones too. If that eventually becomes resolved good enough through computational sensors in smartphones, along with the optics of multiple camera...

Simply download 3rd party camera apps that give you all those adjustable settings you want to have and play with. One that immediately comes to mind is, 'Open Camera' for Android users. It's...

Spot on. Change is inevitable. the current crop of flagships like the Pixel 3 XL, the upcoming Huawei Mate 20 Pro, etc. And the technology will just keep better with each passing year.

Confusion for SmilerGrogan undone. Thank for the simplified clarification.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. ROFL.
Critics in the audio industry always used to say, "vinyl is final", scratches and all. O.... kay.... then, go for it!

@Daniel, thanks for the heads up on that application. I've heard of it but never really looked into it. I reckon because of the word, 'RAW' might've held me off from any consideration. I shoot...

Do you have link to this darktable?

That already has happened quite a while back, but as an extension to LR or PS I think, and not an incorporation into Photo Lab.

Interesting observation on Luminar. So then, out of curiosity, what might you recommend as tnon-rental, non-subscription-based alternatives? Affinity? Exposure X3? DxO Photo Lab? Other? ...

For myself the Canoscan 9000F Mark-II I mention of above for all practical purposes is sufficient for my needs. I am not a professional ready to dump 100's of dollars into some high end film...

Exactly what I was thinking. Soft plastic case to cushion the smartphone, and lessen any slippery grip. Better yet, used with a compact handgrip monopod/tripod and smartphone bracket holder for...

Out in that 'wilderness' the smartphone is still useful. The camera still takes photos / videos. Whether you want to send a photo immediately to Facebook or wherever is another issue. Immediacy...

Of those 3, which is the loser then?

I have exactly that model, the Canoscan 9000F Mark-II ( https://goo.gl/cwzDVJ ). I think it is sufficient and works well. 9600 dpi on the negatives and up to 4800 on all other documents (i.e.,...

Basically that is what it comes down to, plus, up to two strips of film can be processed at one go accommodating 8-10 frames in the holder. Or if mounted slides, then a single row for 4 frames at...
