  1. Pretty much every workflow ends up in 8bit sRGB, either via display or print. After decades of experimenting, and working, and in the processes wearing out 2 digital wet labs, 2 wide format printers, and 1 digital dry lab (in addition to what I am using now) and I can say with 100% certainty that: 1.) you cannot tell the difference between an sRGB and aRGB workflow 2.) While cheap, space is still not free, and big files slow things down, especially when you have a ton of them. A clean, printable, 8 bit sRGB JPG is my goal. Every single time. As soon as I have that, and am happy with it, the RAW files go into the trash.
  2. The only photo website I truly dislike is PetaPixal. Their content is clickbait(ish), the journalistic style is kind of jerky. Chris and Jordan will be the only reason I visit. Its truly a shame that they got purchased by Amazon and moved to Seattle. The quality of the photo samples got so bad when they moved (rainy, ugly Seattle) I stopped looking at them. Its a shame they did not move them to Austin, or some other cheap sunny place with a university and a good arts/history scene.
  3. I won't miss the comment sections, but DPreview has been the internet resource I have used to make every single decision about every digital camera I have every purchased since the Nikon D1x. I can't believe its going away.
  4. <p>How much stuff are you willing to lug around? With the hasselblad you have to deal with film backs, dark slides, lenses, and you have to make sure you do everything in the correct order. If you don't plan on doing that, and will likely just be shooting with a normal lens, then the hasselblad is a lot of hassle for no reason. With the a TLR, you throw in some film and go take pictures. Next question, what kind of photographer are you? Do you enjoy general photography (TLR), or do you plan on spending time setting up a shot, and don't mind carrying tripods, lens hoods, a spot meter and a box of filters and a few few film backs, then the hasselblad is for you. Or are you a hipster wannabe who plans on shooting nothing but color images of flowers with a ton of lens flare, or moody pictures of fire hydrants and tattooed women smoking cigarettes? If so you want a holga or lubitel. </p>
