    Thumbs up for MPB

    I trust them. Got a lot of glass from them and always as described. No negative surprises.

    Improving sharpness

    Gotta agree with others here. I have a Z6 and it breaks up pretty much regarding noise at 6400ISO. I have used 6400 but with a much darker exposure to purposely replicate a dark scene. A full second would have brought the ISO down to 800 which is much closer to native and would have been my...

    Topaz Photo AI2

    Sometimes. If I really nail a shot, I can do better with Adobe raw processes. If after adobe I think Topaz might help I'll give it a shot. It rarely nails the look I want so I'm always adjusting. Bottom line it can sometimes take the "almost" shot and bring it to life. If it's a shot that I...

    Primes or Zoom Lenses

    Last wedding I did started with meeting with the bride and groom and finding out what they wanted. From there I went to the rehearsal and talked with the Priest to see what conditions he wanted met. Next I did test shots to determine lighting conditions and such. Then I sat down with the...

    Got my Z8

    Just thinking out loud, so to speak. I don't get why the cinema crowd have not started noticing this camera. I watched reviews for half of forever. A lot of talk about the ai focusing and the speed of the camera but when it comes to video it is pretty much glossed over. This is a bonified...

    That was my wife's reaction. I'm not thrilled either. Not much I can do about it without putting other critters in harm's way.
