Ulrik, I have an F2A with the DP-11 meter. Have you thought about getting your camera serviced by Sover Wong? Don’t know if it would be worth it to you financially, but I do know these meters are ...

Depends, and I don’t count how many exposures I get per full battery but, I can comfortably shoot all day long with 2 full batteries. I found on a good day, 1 battery is insufficient or at the very ...

Montreal, along with many Canadian cities, are not very urban compared to other big cities around the world like NYC. Streets are long and wide open spaces. I find a 50mm is a good focal length ...

The 23mm f/2 is a great lens, optically. One of the sharpest lenses when stopped down I’ve ever seen. Contrast and detail is amazing for what the 26mp Xtrans sensor can output.

I was just going to say, sorry to hear, but in future, use a microfibre cloth and NOT paper towel.

Glad I’m not the only one that noticed the obnoxious ad pop ups since the new ownership took place. It’s almost starting to become unbearable. I keep telling myself, it’s still a free site, but, ...

The 50mm f/2 is an amazing lens for street photography, especially if you want to get candid portraits of people without getting right up in their face. It’s also just a great little portrait lens ...

I have the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L and I’ve noticed the same thing. Wide open it has a distinct character, but stopped down and you get great performance, like having 2 lenses in one.

It’s not just for skies. Works on all blues. I find that this keeps the blues from clipping in harsh daylight or strong light, but it also keeps the blues from becoming washed out.

I keep it on permanently. It keeps the blues from clipping and I find it makes the sky look more natural.

Aren’t all photos just snapshots? Anyway, you make some good points, I’ll just say this, some of my most personal favourite photos, were ones taken either early morning or late evening. There is a ...

Yes, that was my point. And not just YouTube, but Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc. etc.

My Xpro3 did not come with a paper manual, rather, a link to where to download a digital copy from their website. Pretty standard now.

You have an extremely oblique view of the trees looking downward. In aerial photography, trees will appear to elongate or distort radially from nadir, or, the position directly below the cameras ...

That was pretty profound Weegee, and makes you think.

I’ll watch an occasional YouTube video on photography. It’s not all bad, I know, but, it seems like you too have seen the myriad of “influencers” online that are maybe not our cup of tea. I just ...

You will never get rid of the dust. Dust is life.

Like it or not, social media platforms like YouTube have largely replaced the previous generation’s more traditional platforms for photographers. These “old” platforms usually had staff ...

Depends on how you shoot. You won’t need any of the f/1.4 primes for documenting the protests unless you’re in low light situations, which, I think you’ve stated you won’t be. I’ve used my 23mm f/2 ...

My iPhone has had a global shutter for the past 5 years or so … old news …
