Visiting the 24h of Spa for the first time this year. Yeah!

It's a reasonable price, you're at €10k in Windows land as well. One thing that has to be seen though is wether Apple managed proper thermal management this time. Both the previous 4 core 4.5 GHz...

Jump past the 0:25 mark.

Actually the stitching is really great and there are no issues with weird one-sided flare - lenses seem to have really great coating.

Highlight DR seems to be very...

I was just responding to the myth that has been perpetuated here that 4K needs absurd sizes like 32" to be worthwhile. No, what you need is proper hiDPI implementation like it is found on...

5K is perfect for 27"

Me neither.

Printing is not the usual way photos are consumed anymore. That said, when I do print, at home, I prefer the 16:9 or even 21:9 aspect ratio. Gives me bigger sizes for the 17" max width and suits...

I wrote about ellipsoid elements and continued with cutouts from sphericals afterwards.

I honestly don't know about the optical properties of ellipsoid lens elements, but I guess there would be some severe sort of stretching going on. Further implications:

- Per definition...

Why is there no EI Mode in stills land? Why do we photographers have to guess around in the dark, when exposing for highlights? Yes I created custom tone curves for my D810 but it's totaly...

Compared my D810 + 24-70/2.8G with a A7II + 24-70/4 ZA. The Sony combo is beautifully compact. There is a nice feel of tightness to the whole thing that the (2 years old) Nikon doesn't have. Most ...

Yup, but corner performance is where I'm looking for improvement. Thank you for putting thought into this anyway!

Thank you for your reply! I had this one on the screen as well but it would even be a step back from my 2.8 in terms of sharpness at any FL other than 24mm - where they're the same.

Hi! Going for a 4000km road trip through the Alps (Route des Grandes Alpes, Route Napoléon, Rhône-Alpes, Dolomites) in a week and taking my D810 with me. I'll have tele covered with the 70-200/4 VR. ...

uhm, @lawny13, what's all this got to do with my LV AF gripe? ;)

@Jack Jian - The new AF certainly is excellent an I'm sure I'd benefit from it in a few situations (mind you, the bigger selling point for me would be LV-automated multi-parameter AF finetuning)....

Covered in the article

Many of my personal boxes ticked, congratulations! However, no on-sensor PDAF is a dealbreaker for me. I don't care about video AF, but if LV AF stays as useless as it is on my D810 (and before...

Coming from a D810:

- lock lever against accidental wheel adjustments change
- illuminated buttons
- lighter body with a slimmer main shell and a deeper grip with pronounced thumb grip
- Eyepiece...
