    what has this site become?

    in PhotoNet Site Help

    Posted

    In the past 6 months, this site has becoming increasing

    disappointing. To start, the forums. Very often, an innocent thread

    becomes a personal attack. Then the photo critique. Again and

    again, I find irresponsible critiques. I have to say photosig is a

    much better place, at least for the serious photographers.

    Nikon 300/f4 or 80-400 VR?

    in Nikon

    Posted

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a longer lens. And I'm thinking 300/f4 or 80-400

    VR. What do you think after hearing my requirements?

    Image quality is my first requirement. Then the range, then the

    price/quality factor.

    I first tried the 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6D ED, and found the images too

    soft @ 300mm. Second, 300mm is not quite enough in some

    situations.

    I consider the VR because, well it goes to 400. Also, I won't have

    to carry the 80-200/f2.8. However, are the images stark sharp in 300-

    400 range? For those who own the VR, do you still keep the 80-

    200/f2.8?

    I consider the 300/f4 because it might produce sharper images. I

    know 1.4 teleconverter is a good add-on, but I don't plan to get it

    asap.

     

    If I see a side-by-side image comparison, that'll be great. I've

    searched the archive and didn't find the exact answer to my

    question. If you can share user experience, I'd really appreciate

    it.

    comments on Nikon SB-80DX?

    I want to buy a Nikon SB-28 for macro & portraits. Then I learned

    it's replaces by SB-80DX. Could anyone share some experience? Pros

    & Cons? I'd especially appreciate a comparison between SB-28 and SB-

    80DX. If SB-28 turns out to be better, I can still buy it on grey

    market. Thanks in advance.

    make slides from B&W film

    in Black & White Practice

    Has anyone succesfully cross-processed B&W film into slides? Any

    advice will be appreciated.

     

    So far I found one answer:

    "I do a lot of B&W slide stuff, and I find that Ilford XP2, exposed

    at 80 ISO and push processed by two stops (E6-P2) makes superb

    slides. The other alternative is Kodak release positive (Eastman) but

    it's very slow, at about 1SO, and processed in D-19.

    Though I understand the process, I don't fully understand why. Has

    anyone tried that?

     

    Thanks,
