I've been intrigued by the possibility of a Ricoh GRIIIx as a go-everywhere camera, as it fits in a smaller pocket than my LX100. But, the price has put me off. And, if I had the GRIIIx and liked ...

I suggest you save that money until some important future project requires a particular bit of gear that you don't already have. Right now, you've got a good lineup of lenses with which to ...

I really like my Panasonic GX9 with pancake 12-32, which is a bit smaller than the a7C with 28-60. It's a great walkabout camera. But, you know what? I don't actually walk about with it unless I'm ...

The technology has been in use in one of their pro video cameras for a couple years now.

Keep in mind that the a7S is a 12-megapixel camera. As such, it's much less demanding of lenses in terms of sharpness. For example, many folks are happy with Sony's 28-70 kit zoom on 24MP bodies, ...

I'm no expert, but I think you're confusing glow-in-the-dark with fluorescent. UV/black light can cause some materials to fluoresce, which makes them seem to "glow" with unnatural colors. But, ...

If you work in a studio environment, yeah, DC may be more trouble than it's worth. I work in event venues, often with hundreds of semi-intoxicated attendees milling about in crowded spaces. ...

As I'm using an ISO-invariant camera,...

I made a poor-man's Manfrotto HiLite for headshots by suspending the white translucent core of a large affordable 5-in-1 reflector kit between two stands and placing a flash behind it. Cheaper ...

That's a good clarification. All of my eight Samyang primes, as well as my previous Sony 85/1.8 and 35/1.8 and Zeiss Batis 25/2 meet this criterion. My Sony 28-60 does, and my Sony 24-105/4 does ...

You'll want a second body and lens if either of your primaries drops dead.

I have 5big and 2big Thunderbolt enclosures connected to my M1 Mac mini, but I use Apple's Disk Utility rather than LaCie's RAID Manager software to configure my RAIDs, and I haven't tried the ...

Could be said of every lens maker.

What do you mean by "landscape lens"? I use focal lengths from 18mm to 300mm for landscapes. No one lens covers it all.

If you're doing paid work with that camera, better send it off to Sony for repair.

I remember when, back in the '90s, I brought Apple's high-end 20" CRT back to the shop soon after buying it because I saw two hair-thin lines running down (or was it across) the screen. Turned out ...

Hope springs eternal for Panasonic's organic-film global shutter...

Those are sale prices. The typical retail over the past year has been around $300 for the 18 and a bit over $430 or so for the 24. So don't buy them. They withstand my usage just fine. Fine. That's ...

I keep my LRC folders and master image files I'm processing on an external SSD (backed up to an HD) for the speed this provides. In particular, hosting the LRC folders on an SSD (even a relatively ...
