Do you have fake pictures of the rumour?  :-)

These are excellent! Really outstanding!

The problem is that 1.25 x is not very much. Except in some special circumstances it would be irrelevant, in practical terms. OTOH, a 1.4 x would bring the whole optics to almost f:9, and that is a ...

What I wrote above is about Ultrazooms , those like 30-300, or something of that kind. You talk Tele-zooms , and there I fully agree, I almost bought the Tamron one myself. But I don't see the ...

Ricardo, when somebody posts in a X-brand forum a message saying something on the lines "I just switched to Y-brand", and then starts enumerating "defects" of the abandoned brand, that is just ...

Great pictures, the seed explosion is quite interesting!

Have you ever seen one, or heard of one, that meet this criterion and is not ginormous and/or bankrupcy inducer?

I think that we live in different planets. First, the makers of APS and FF cameras have almost zero popular offerings in the super zoom area. OK, there is a 28-300 lens from Canon, may be an ...

I agree. I too am uninterested by the current 10-III, but if it had one of the newer 20 MP sensors  that might be a different case! But I am totally not interested on the small Panasonics, either...

But in the Panasonic line-up only GH-5 and the GX-8 have 20 MP sensors! None of the other recent Panasonic cameras share the top of line sensor!

As the previous posters, I like the second image better. But I agree with you, the treatment burnt the white back of the swan. I am not familiar with LR, but I think that to apply this effect You ...

Great picture of the slug! It shows motion, something that in macro is not very frequent. Looks like the guy is coming from the other side of the leaf to peep at you!

Here is the picture:

Very interesting photos you got! For me, in macro photography, especially in extreme macro, longer FL makes life much easier - you are further away from the subject. For insects and spiders, that ...

Thanks, Trevor.

Excellent and informative post. Bookmarked. BTW, do you use S-AF or C-AF? Thank you!

Yes, I agree with your puzzlement. The frames obtained with focus bracketing (12-100) can be easily used by Helicon Focus or PhotoShop layers with excellent results!

Good job!

Yes, thank you, I live in a urban area near the sea, and that is about as safe as possible. But it was a great tragedy, lots of suffering, my heart bleeds for the victims!
