I have long held this view.  Eyeglasses are a pure rip off compared to even the most modest of camera lenses.  The technology within an even average camera lens is probably 20 times greater than ...

Newsletter 666 will have a thorough article on EVIL cameras.

Sometime in your life you'll end up with an image that will stir you.  You may place yourself in that situation, it may be thrust upon you, or you may happen upon it by accident.  But if you take ...

In 2013, my brother and I visited our aging parents in southern Oregon.  One sunny spring afternoon we went to a park and walked a bit.  My mother, then hard of hearing and going blind, took off ...

I know what you mean.  Surely the front and back cover of the book should have had a warning like, "Use of this book in conjunction with firearms may cause death or serious injury."  I think a ...

There may be a number of reasons for unsharp pictures. Do you have a steady hand when taking the picture? Are you using an adequate shutter speed to avoid motion blur? Perhaps you need to do focus ...

I need to take a few (several) intermediate/advanced online photo classes.  In the short term, that would help me the most. It would also help me think outside the box and change up my photography ...

Greatest frustration?  Hmm, I'd say having a full-time job that keeps me from traveling and taking awesome pictures.  But the job pays the bills and makes the photography (in my somewhat limited ...

When you have a lens hood for every lens, even the lenses that don't come with a hood. When you have backup equipment for backup equipment. When you spend 30 minutes trying to decide when lenses to ...

I used to have the Canon 24-70mm f4.0 L IS lens. Very nice lens, nice and compact. I never saw the 50mm-ish issues some photographers complained about. The only reason I got rid of it is I needed ...

Given your concept camera's tendency to encourage people to take time with their picture taking, it might be a good type of camera for high school (and some college) photography programs, to get ...

Has anyone noticed that many American motion pictures had wonderful image quality in the 1960s? Colors popped and there was minimal grain. Just watch a Doris Day or Cary Grant movie from that era. ...

I operate the same way.

Agreed. I understand why Canon uses white for some of their L lenses. But I still think white lenses scream, "I'm rich, come mug me, beat me, take my wallet, too".

You bring up a lot of good points. Yeah, the m4/3 camera companies might try selling premium camera bodies (I'm thinking of the GH5 and OM-D E-M1 mark II) to help make up for lower camera sales ...

Panasonic makes nice lenses, but are they really that much better than other brands, enough that people would buy them for their non-Panasonic cameras? I just don't see it happening. Sure, ...

I have been into photography since 1979.  Counting film and processing during my film days (through mid-2006), all the cameras and lenses I own and once owned, lighting and associated accessories, ...

That's how I do it.  It's quick, easy, and looks good.
