Excellent idea but Unfortunately I’m leaving the city with the convenient rental house.

There are clear differences in measurements like halation, focus rolloff, astigmatism, sharpness across the field, contrast, color rendering; there are lots of differences that add up to what we...

Normally I would because I have a rich wife, but the lens is a beast . It feels bigger than the old 24-70 f/2.8G. Does it make sense to take on the extra weight and size if I don’t need the extra ...

Owners of the Z50mm f/1.2, would you buy it again vs. the much smaller f1.8 Nikkor? Is the improvement in quality worth the weight, size, and attention-attracting of the larger lens? Just spent a ...

The problem with movie scans is always that dozens of people were involved in the quality decisions. And there’s the skill of the team doing the scanning and what their objectives, and the ...

You are correct. At its core “equivalence” was the editors secret weapon to heap shame on m4/3 and aps-c camera users and bully them into buying full-frame cameras thereby increasing the profits of...

Are you shooting objects in real life with a normal camera or are you creating renderings with a computer? The first I can help you with.

Depends on how much experience you have with full-frame photography. If you are a grizzled old veteran, then yes, the lens focal lengths you're used to will feel strange or a while but you'll get ...

Yes but it would be far, far easier to bounce off a chunk of white poster board or foam core held onto a light stand with A-clamps from the hardware store.. Some people hang white sheets for this ...

Thanks for the clarification. The flare in the top left is from the sun just out of frame; no idea why it's curved. I was on a backpacking trip in New Zealand and it's very hard to keep the lens ...
