<p>Put an old 135 on an adapter. If I have just saved you from spending a mint on a Chinese lens, feel free to send me 10 percent. :D</p>

<p>As a long time user of completely manual Nikons, I'm inclined to agree with Roland. But a good tune-up wouldn't hurt anything :D I just don't know who does them anymore.</p>

<p>Chiming in late but the NEX-6, for my purposes - street, portraits and some more formal session work - is the best digital camera I've ever owned. For its size it has very good image quality. Sony lenses leave, ahem, something to be desired but they get the job done. Lack of a touch screen is what's called a "first world problem." I don't know when we went from using things as simple as say Nikon FMs, and they were fine, to complaining about cameras not having touch screens. But that's a different issue. My advice. Save a few more weeks and get the NEX6</p>

<p>We were doing this, or some version of it, in like 1973 when my dad was a studio photographer and I was four years old. Thinking I may patent Coca Cola with ice. </p>

<p>Mine's not that old either but I still have the first Nikon FM2n I owned, the first camera I bought new. It needs parts that are no longer available, and I'm not shooting much film. But it's a wonderful piece of machinery. </p>

<p>Ted. That's about the best inormation I've read so far, particurly about Hamrick and Vuescan. Are there better software options?</p>

<p>This is pretty much a self explanatory post but in the latest version of Vuescan I don't seem to have the option of choosing say, Provia, Velvia or anything else beyond "Kodak" and "generic." Have any of you had this problem and how do you fix it? <br> Thanks in advance. </p> <p>john</p>

<p>Hi folks.<br> <br />I've just started using DxO Optics Pro 8 and I think I've stumbled across a color-space issue. <br> I shoot in sRGB, always RAW. Using DxO I select the sRGB color space, process as 16-bit tif and open the images in Photoshop. The problem is when I open an image in PS, it shows a marked lack of contrast and saturation. It looks as if the DxO is actually outputting an RGB file that is not "being read" quite right in Photoshop. Images processed this way look flat and dead. <br> <br />Newbie questions despite the fact that I'm generally not one: Am I better off shooting RGB if I'm going to use DxO? Or is there something else I'm missing entirely. DxO does have a learning curve. <br> Finally, those of you who use DxO, "where" does it go in your workflow? First? Do you generally have to do a lot of processing after the fact? <br> <br />In short, what am I f-ing up and how can I best use DxO (given that I'm very happy with the way the software handles RAW files). <br> <br />Thanks in advance. <br> <br />John</p>
