Chris, Jordan, in general I agree with your recomendations, but now it's not even close.
Portrait shooting is a controlled thing with static subjects, you don't need any fancy feature introduced to...

madeinlisboa, my Z6 II does reports an error with my older third party batteries. I bought them for my D750 which works perfectly with them.
Here is an example for just updating the firmware on a...

Software locks with custom firmware? This definitely happens! Canon fights against Magic Lantern. Nikon firmware updates locks out third party batteries (okay, this is a little different),...

It's proportional to market share...

Coating greatly improves on flaring, but does not eliminate it.

My original concern wasn't the image quality question... The main point was protective filters aren't economical.

badi, I found the article. It does not messure lighting from an angle. The filters are good, but not ideal.
Saving the session in the field is a good point which I missed. Although I soot portraits...

Buy a filter for 105$ for your 24-70 scratch it (the lens saved, hurray!) and then buy another filter: it costs 210$.
Scratch your lens really badly and change the front element in the service...

My new SimplePiano 3 (C) has only three buttons and an LCD: up, down and play note. You can play anything on it. It also ha an auto mode for you, to simplify things like playing accords, where you...

These are the promotional apartments in the buildings. Not personal ones. Although they aren't show them to you if you are not a billionaire... These lies are okay for me.

2400 rpm/60 = 40 rotation/s. The radius is about 110 pixel, so 691 pixel movement is a full rotation. This mean 27640 pixel/s speed at the edge of the rotor which can bee frozen with 1/27640s...

Just get a higher tier used camera with a better lens. D7200 + Tamron or Sigma 17-50 F2.8 for example. If you get a good deal you can fit a 35mm or 50mm F1.8 also in the budget.

J.K.T That is the Godox TT600.

Apples and oranges. The Sony is much more versatile, the Fuji is a much more specialized tool, but if you have to choose one they are competing.

Hmm, cheaper than Sony A1. Interesting competition...

Finally I found another forum thread about it. Nikon bodies reports the effective aperture, so the original Nikon macro lenses work in the same manner. I think it's a silly engineering decision, ...

Thanks, it's good to know! I know effective aperture gets smaller when I focus closer, it's physics, although I think it shouldn't do this. My previous Pentax gear for example maintained the F2.8 ...

Is there anyone who own this lens and use it on a Nikon D750 (or newer) body? Mine reporting narrower aperture then F2.8 if I turn the focus ring, it goes down to F5.6 when I go to 1:1 ...

The optical formula may limit it too. There are cases when the image circle isn't big enough with such a converter. (Rear element size, max angle of rays coming from the coupled lens, etc, etc...)...

Looks really nice. I'am a Nikon user, but nowdays Canons development is what amaze me as an engineer.

Thanks Nokiron and badi! I've read some more info about CAI on their site, and now I see more use of this. I need a trusted source like BBC or NASA with their own photographer also for near full...
