If only Nikon could come up with some kind of sitting that took the mirror and external AF system out of the equation... (I don't we'll see a...
I've heard only good things about the 19mm, but can't say I've used it (donations gratefully accepted). I agree that the quality/price trade-off...
For what it's worth, I think there's a difference between tripod-mounted image composition using a 10x8 sheet of film that'll cost you £5 to...
I can vouch that diet Coke cans are very shiny and good at showing LoCA, especially if they have condensation...
Just to say... huh? Surely the relationship between angles depends on the focus distance. That's one reason I tend not to try to work it out, and...
I'm really envying the people whose dragonflies rest where they're visible. The ones at my local pond (small lake) can be seen zipping over the...
The reason it frustrates me is that there's already the ability to enter maximum aperture and focal length for manual lenses, which enables matrix...
I found myself dismissively thinking that surely the used price for the 50mm AF-D must be low enough to justify getting it instead of adapting a...
At least you can see the focus shift; I believe Nikon and Canon are both known for just racking out to infinity and back when focus is lost...
For the moon, even f/11 wasn't too bad at 500x1.4, but we're well into the diffraction range of a modern dSLR then; I often knock down to f/8 for...
I could believe that - as you say, if the camera lever moved but there was no pressure on a lens aperture lever, the teleconverter's lever would...
Actually, I'm going to repeat that experiment, because I need a break from conference calls. Nikkor 200-500 E-aperture lens D90: DoF preview goes...
Mike pinged me about this offline, so I did an experiment last night. My D90, which doesn't know about E lenses but does know my 200-500 is f/5.6,...
Finally, I call this "moonrise and pigeon"; Ansel would be proud. I also call it "don't look too closely", because f/32, a dirty window and ISO...
Infrared grey squirrel is... grey. (Channel swapped the sky, though, because orange is just as weird. And still using a Tamron 24-70, which is...
Cool. Weird toning and insects. I'm on topic. (I was inspired by others taking dragonfly photos and went out with my IR D90 while there was a lot...
You didn't manage to get funding for a 6mm fish-eye, then? (IIRC it was used for some pipe inspection purposes.)
You know, I almost mentioned that. Hopefully you can still cover the extreme angles from a different perspective. If in doubt, go wider... or get...
:-) I'm assuming a degree of haste over perfectionism, based on the last time I was involved in selling a house. It may be unfair to extrapolate...
And likewise - hence my acquisition of a solution which clips on. I've not taped the cap up and filled the hole yet, though. I don't really know...
Separate names with a comma.
