    Lens Dilema

    Here's another shot that may be a better comparator. I took these all at 300mm at f-6, maybe if you did some pixel peeping you might find another lens to be sharper but I'm okay with it. Edit - I think this may be too small to really see the sharpness, unfortunately the other version of this is...

    Lens Dilema

    I've read those words too but to be completely honest, I've not once had an issue with this lens. In fact, it's really the only reason I've not opted for the much more expensive 70-200mm f/2.8. Here's an example of a shot I took at 300mm at a moving object with the lens wide open (f-5.6)...

    Wet cleaning question

    I have a question about how people are wet cleaning their "sensor". There is the "one-swipe" and you're done method vs. the "swipe on way, flip the swab and swipe the other way" method. Does everyone use one of these two methods or maybe a third method? And then my next question is why? I've...

    Anyone own a Colormonki or iDisplay pro?

    I've decided it's time to end my attempts at calibration. My prints are very close for some colors but others need a little help so I've narrowed it down to the xRite colormonki or iDisplay pro instead of the Sypder. Does anyone on the board use an Xrite product? One of the reasons that I've...

    A once a year solar event - May 2nd, 2013

    I was using my 24-70mm at f-4.0 and each HDR was a set of 5 exposures at 1 stop apart. I may try using a stronger telephoto so as to increase the size of the sun, assuming there's enough sun to be seen tonight. Btw - here's an HDR compilation image that was taken a few seconds later than the...

    A once a year solar event - May 2nd, 2013

    Here in So. Cal. we've been in the middle of a weather pattern called a Santa Ana condition. It's a hot, dry blast of air that comes in from the Mojave and the Colorado deserts east of here. Here in San Diego the wind usually comes directly off the ocean and hence we have nightly bouts of marine...
