For me: Nikon 18 points Canon 21 points Sony 33 points Hmmmmm. It was a fair test, and Sony clearly won it. But I've seen so many other real world portraits where I did like Canon and didn't like ...

Some people will say anything to get clicks, just like some people will do anything to get views. That's the unfortunate reality today.

Yes, keep a Canon camera for portraits. :( I'm not kidding, that's what I'm currently doing. Olympus is better than Panasonic, but still not as good as Canon for Caucasian skin tones. It's 2018, I ...

"Both seem to do the job." OK, so any adapter that says it is for Nikon F, or even just says Nikon AI, or AI-S with no mention of F are all going to work, because all Nikon lenses are F mount, is ...

I haven't read anything about that thick filter glass before. Why does m43 have it and not any other sensor size? Does it cause any problems other than changing the rendition? Like adding CA or ...

I've got my eye on my next vintage lens acquisition, which is a Nikkor 50mm f2 H. It says this lens is Nikon F mount. It is a pre-AI lens. Info about it can be seen here: ...

No, I don't think so. Light going through the lens is now going through an extra, unrelated optical device which bends/refocuses the light rays before reaching the sensor. The fact that that ...

Lately I've been getting more intrigued not just by the image quality of a vintage lens, but by the character, or interesting rendition of it, particularly for bokeh. For example, I sold my Canon ...

Ok, thanks, that clears that up. I didn't think it made a difference or else I would have come across that advice before. Good to know for sure.

What is the difference between a skylight and a UV filter? I always thought they were the same.

Today I was reading about a lens on the excellent pentaxforums.com site, and in one of the reviews, a person happened to mention that UV filters improve image quality (contrast, not sharpness) of ...

I thought they were a lot more expensive than that, did they drop the price? How do you find AF accuracy and reliability with it? I can't afford the Metabones and I tried a Chinese brand Jintu and ...

How are you adapting this lens?

OK, sounds good. I'll order the product this weekend.

Hi, thanks. I've got the rocket blower and already tried it. I did read about trying the brush first before wet cleaning, but they were recommending the Arctic Butterfly brush which costs around ...

Hello, thanks everyone for your responses. I've searched around and to get the sensor cleaned professionally in my area costs A$110-$150, so I think I'll have a try myself. I did some research, and ...

Hi, I bought a used 6D recently, and I was experimenting with pinhole photography and noticed lots of marks on the sensor, in the same place every photo. I took a photo of a white wall to show ...

If video is important to you, you should spend some time looking at comparison videos on youtube, to judge for yourself, since everyone is different. Just search for camera X vs camera Y video ...

Thanks for the good info. I'll think about it. What do you think about me getting a common silver one and just spray painting it black?!
