Found one for a decent price - was wondering if there is anything that I'm gaining by getting an L1 if I have, say - the Olympus E-300 and the E-510? Seems to me the E-300 is basically the same thing, in theory as the L1. I'm thinking no...but wanted to make sure before I passed it up...

You may have seen some other threads where i was investigating the E-300 from Olympus. After messing with if for a bit, I figured out how to get the best out of it. Very cool camera! I was looking to see if I could find a good deal on a 4/3 camera with IBIS and found one today at the local...

A little back story. Went to the local camera store on Saturday. I had some trade and I was looking at some of the old stuff...again...tinkering with Pentax, I thought to be a good idea. They had an *ist D and a K10D. Decided on the K10D and they had a 17-70/4 SDM. Hear good things about it...

I really want to like this camera. I do...but something is just not gelling with me. I have been shooting with the Olympus C-8080. It is decent, but I found it way too slow in processing images in RAW, and barely tolerable in JPG. Image quality was decent, even JPG only - he lens is actually...

The Portsmouth, Ohio Flood Wall Mural Project uses the floodwall that protects the town from river flooding as an outdoor mural space to depict the last 2 centuries of the town's history. https://portsmouthmurals.com/ There are a large number of murals that have ben documented by me here, so I...

Custom DxO Filmpack 7 preset based on Kodak T-Max 3200 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

DxO Filmpack 7 custom preset based off of Kodak T-Max 3200. Had a bit of an issue with access to cage-side this year, so had to shoot from the general admission section and a long lens. Not quite what I had hoped for but as the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! 1 2 3...

Originating in Russia, this sport's rules are relatively simple. Pull the stick from your opponents hand, pull them over to your side of the board, pull the opponent so that both feet come off the board. Created a custom preset in DxO Filmpack 7 starting off with Kodak T-Max 3200 as the base...

Weather has been very chaotic recently. For about a week is was cold and raining...then it jumped into the 50-60F range for a few days, now it is 29F as a high and last night we got about 6 inches of show. Wasn't sure of the roads, so I grabbed my trusty companion, Nova, and we decided to...

Wanted to drop some sweet, sweet pics from the first outing with this lens and some initial thoughts. Thoughts: I love the size of the lens. 20mm and FX coverage - YES! The focus ring is large and easily bumped depending on how you hold the camera...so be aware of this. Luckily, I have...

Yes, this is the OG G1X. I took it to a local history museum, which is a pretty difficult test for any camera. Dynamic range is extreme in some cases and the low contrast would give a challenge to it. Remember too, that this is my very first Canon camera - so I have A LOT to learn about the...

Just FYI - As a lot of you may already know, I've been experimenting with some vintage early 2000 digital cameras. 2 of which are Sony (F828 and R1) and they both came with Memory Stick cards. I tried connecting up the camera itself to the computer to download the images - but had no luck. I...

So, got my Konica Minolta DiMage A2 today. My first thoughts and this is with just running through the menus, setting it up and taking a few shots around the house. Love that it uses the same batteries as the Maxxum/Dynax 7D smaller than it gives you the impression online, but big enough to...

Picked up off eBay for a little bit of nothing! Thoughts... It feels well build. The plastic is there, but pretty solid except for some movement around the battery and card doors. It's a good size, not too big, or too small, great grip on it. Not a huge fan of where the rear command dial is...

This was ordered from Japan and was originally estimated to be delivered on 1/2/2024. It arrived yesterday 12/29! Kudos to DHL for the early delivery. First Impression: This is solid and feels premium. The brass plates are awesome. The rubber grip is very nice as well. The menus are classic...

Yes, I know this is a dead system. Yes, I know it only has a 1" sensor. Yes, I know that I'm insane. I'm looking for my next experiment and I think this might be it. Would like to hear from the current/former Nikon 1 system owners. I was always intrigued by the Nikon 1 system...on the spec...

The Panasonic GX85 arrived today. Here are my first impressions. It is the exact size that I wanted for a coat pocketable, minimalist camera. The weight in hand feels good. Makes the camera feel robust and durable. I like the off center EVF. While not the biggest or best - it is servicable...

I've been happy with 500px for a while now and much preferred it to Flickr for various reasons. However, here of kate I've been noticing a lot of weirdness at 500px. First, it started with intermittent issues when I am trying sort my images into galleries. I know I have a gallery created and...

Planning to visit the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. Thought I'd take the opportunity to invite anyone that may want to go. Date: November 18, 2023 Time: 11am - right at open! Gear: Planned for me is the Nikon Z f and the Z 28-75/2.8, adapted Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6. Temp...

Just wanted to throw this out there and request an opinion from the group here. First - you cannot hurt my feelings. It is impossible to do. Second - I'll still do what I want that makes me happy. While I value the opinions I have and will get - I use them to help guide future decisions - I...

I'm still in the experimentation phase as I just got this lens in the mail 2 days ago. plan on doing a full review of it eventually and posting on my site. Some snaps to test initial function. Right off the bat, I will say that it appears to need a bit more aggressive post processing in the...

So what do I mean? Show nativity, Christmas, Kwanza, Hannukah, or any other holiday stuff you want, religious, secular - no restrictions! Just share some great images! We had such a good response to the Halloween 2023. You may be asking yourself, why so early? Well, I'm already have seen...

Was reading through this thread: Pentax - Pentax KP And it got me thinking - as a side system I like Pentax as a DSLR. A little more so than the Nikon DSLRs in a relatively similar category. I was looking around and I can trade/sell my K-5 and K-3 for a KP. Seems like it would be a good...

I am one that LOVES horror movies. Always seem to have. Even at a young age, one of the things that my brother and I bonded over was our love of horror. On the weekend, we used to go to the video store and scour the horror isles for 1 or 2 to watch before going back to work/school on Monday...

Its that time again to start documenting those awesome halloween displays! Share them here. 1 2 3

So, had some interactions with some other "photographers" on other sites regarding the capability of the Nikon Z cameras AF in low light and in wedding scenarios. Also seems to be some false info out there regarding the ability of specific flashes that work on the Z cameras. Statement 1...

They called me an hour before close that my lens was in! I scrambled down to the camera shop and immediately went out to test it out. To say that this lens and the Z8 are a great match is an understatement. Here are a few shots. Some at full 45mp, and others were at 19mp, shot in DX crop...

My daughter wanted to a Mystics and Oddities Fair today and who am i to turn down a chance to get some shutter time in! Nikon Z8 and the Z 28-75/2.8 and 70-180/2.8 AF-C with 3D auto focus human eye detect was used. ISO was fluxuating between 640 and 14400, depending on where they were and what...

Found one of these used at the local store. It was this or the OG K-5 or a K30. Came with the grip. For now, I picked up a usesd 18-135 DA WR lens for it just for testing purposes. There were nota lot of options in K mount AF lenses today. Which brings me to the subject I alluded to in the...

Just received an email from Nikon with some pretty good refurbished deals. $1000 off a Z9 and many z mirrorless kits. https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-store/refurbished-cameras.page

Images taken with any lens that is also used with the Z TC 2.0x I noticed a that my usual processing parameters did not sharpen as I would like - so bumped it up a little more and it looked really good. So, initial conclusion is that the sharpness does take a hit but nothing that cannot be...

So spent 3 hours shooting 18 holes of a local pro disc golf tournament. The Z8 was FANTASTIC as was the Z 70-180/2.8 I played around with almost all the AF-C options and can say that Nikon has done an excellent job with the implementation of the 3D tracking and people detection...

Let's see your images with this lens! The f/2.8 zoom that's about the size of a 70-300/4-5.6 type lens! Placeholder for now, but if you got one, share the pics you got with it!

So just got this thing a few hours ago. I did get a chance to get out for an hour and give it a run through. Menus They are refined from what you'd expect from the Z lineup. It is easier to understand what is active and what is not. There are a lot of options for connectivity, so all that...

Literal first shot. With the Z 24-120mm, 100% crop.

Place holder here for showcasing this lens. Feel free to add images here!

I still cannot believe just how well this lens and even the Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 7D still performs. 6mp, mirror lens and you'd think it would be mediocre at best. This proves, to me at least, that the gear still has the goods! Full disclosure, I did use Topaz Photo AI on images 1, 6, 7 for...

Companion thread to the similarly titled, but monochrome. Processed the RAW files in Lightroom and Topaz Photo AI for denoise and sharpening. 1 2 3 4 5 6

Switched up the settings on the D80 to the most aggressive I could get for monochrome that I liked. Decided to experiment with an old 70-300G lens. It is decent up to about 220mm, then starts to get a bit soft wide open, which is where I shot it most because of the weather. Overcast and...

Dayton Ohio has an automobile museum - containing a large collection of Packard's as well as cars related to the company. First, the outside of the museum - it once was a Packard dealership. 1 2 The museum is structured in what they called a pre-war and post war sectioning (WWII). This is...

So, just saw this: https://meikeglobal.com/products/meike-mount-adapter-etz-for-sony-e-mount-lenses-to-nikon-cameras And got me thinking that if I got this and an A mount to E mount AF adapter, I should in theory be able to use the legacy Minolta lenses with AF on the Nikon Z cameras. That...
