    Sigma DP2 Merrill - Useless at High ISO? Not So Fast...

    Hi Ivoire, Firstly the trigger I have is a Hahnel Combi TF for Canon. I have found it seems to work with all Canon speedlites activated by Leica M9, Olympus OMD and the Sigma. Secondly the high ISO noise issue is lessened when capturing in the NEUTRAL mode and with apertures above ƒ8. The fact...

    Sigma DP2 Merrill - Useless at High ISO? Not So Fast...

    DP2 Merrill under some conditions This is a cropped photograph of an ageratum the small perennial shrub variety. Its remarkable in as much as the ageratum is quite hard to photograph and get the colour right both digitally and even more so with film. The camera a Sigma DP2M also a remarkable...

    Note to All Phone Manufacturers

    I have not read all the replies to this post yet but last week I had all my equipment stolen when my home was broken into so I have been using my iPhone more, until the insurance comes through. Anyway, while I was using true HDR (very good app) my thoughts returned to a line of thinking that I...

    Slowly I am writing my camera history with some of the photos shot on each of them on Perceptivelight, A photographers blog diary of photographic imagery, thoughts and ideas from W Australia The list is very long... and there is a huge gap as when I was in my teens my mother in a clean out...

    Thinking about new system: NEX or Micro Four Thirds? The now and the future?

    I am in a similar place at the present I got very tired of hauling 3 - 4 L lenses and a 5D in 45degree heat on a couple of jobs in January (this is Australia) So I sold my 5D and one of the less used lenses last week. So now I use an EP2 for the macro work and an M9 for everything else. To me at...

    Pentax Pentax K-01 Joins the Mirrorless System Camera Fray

    I agree, I like it too. Its a good thing that a camera company in this instance Ricoh Pentax are considering 'Design' and it really shows with this camera. The ergonomics and tactile surfaces are not what an engineer would have produced. The radii of the rounded edges are larger and look like...

    Etta James, the world renowned jazz singer know for "At Last" has died at age 73

    Rest in peace Etta James. Her voice, was the very essence of the blues. She sang with such sincerity heart muscles would constrict. Long may she be remembered...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus OM-D - A new camera!!

    OM Digital Here is said page... I read a detailed spec on a feed it looks good. I guess one of the things I like best about mirrorless cameras is there is no mirror lock up when shooting macro's. It can be a shot and time loosing process... I think its almost time to sell my 5d's...

    Fuji X-PRO 1 Fully Leaked by French Magazine 'Responses Photo'

    When Fuji last made 35mm cameras and lenses they were the equal of Topcon, Pentax and Canon FD (these were some that I used!). Recently my jaw dropped when I saw on eBAY an Xmount 35mm Fujica with a 50mm 1.6 lens sell for under $10 and a Topcor f1.4 for $500 (ebay's a crazy place!!) So if it is...

    SONY vs. Micro 4/3

    Yes Retow, I remember a few years ago that Olympus said it would produce a 'pro M43' with good sealing and presumably rapid functioning. They seem to have come close with the AF in the most recent introductions but some how with the companies current circumstances I can't help feelin we may have...

    SONY vs. Micro 4/3

    Lloyd Chambers got hold of a NEX 7 yesterday and said a few interesting things diglloyd - Blog I had to laugh at the Steve Jobs solution to Camera UI design. His opinion is not as glowing as Michael Reichmann's

    SONY vs. Micro 4/3

    Hi Gordon I have not even seen a GX1 here in Western Australia yet but I did capture a series of images with Panasonic's first offering G1(?) and I found that the in camera s/w was quite aggressive, even the raw files seemed to have been more highly processed in comparison to ORF's. I downloaded...

    SONY vs. Micro 4/3

    Thanks Pelao, I appreciate and thank you for your comments I see where you are coming from. I agree with you that less is more especially if one is his own master! I like David du Chemins ideas with this movement, however... For the last eight years EOS digitals with L lenses have gotten...

    PC laptop recommendation

    Why anyone who needs Photoshop, Lightroom or almost any other post processing software would buy a windows machine beats me. I have taught Adobe products on both platforms and those using Macs just do better because they don't have to battle with a poorly designed O/s and even those who know it...

    SONY vs. Micro 4/3

    Hi WT21, I am curious to know why you dropped your NEX cameras? I am quite serious about a NEX 7n because of the viewfinder. I really like my EP-2 but that detachable viewfinder does get in the way in most small bags and cases...

    Fuji Confirms Mirrorless Plans and Announces Pricing and Availability for X10

    I had a look at the X10 sample here Fujifilm X10 - sample images - Lenstip.com And to be brutaly homest I was expecting better particularly with regards to colour render. Take a close look at image 'fujX10_fot36' that red is flatter than I would have expected from the Fuji sensor. To their...

    Fuji A very interesting comparison!

    Mr Putts says... X100 Personally I don't totally agree with all the conclusions I love the M9 but would kill for the close focus function of the X100 in it. The wonderful people in Solms have hinted changes with the new sensor in next years M10 I wonder... :wink: Michael perceptivelight.com
