It was kind of those who took an interest in my mountain scene that I used as an example along with what I was saying earlier about rectangular proportions for panoramas. So here is the final ...

Not for getting a D800 when he does not need it but for owning up.

Professionalism has nothing to do with professionalism, if you see what I mean. It's just a label to attract more gullible people. Do they use f/2.8 a little, a lot or never? Sometimes, but it's ...

"And if you're not causal about it, why would want a lower-end body?" Because I bought my Nikon D300 when it was not lower-end and 12 p is still enough. However, it seems that idiots have to ...

I am commenting on several replies to what I originally wrote. 1) What proportion of customers for this new Nikon lens and others like it are going to be professional? 2) Do they use f/2.8 a ...

I would have probably bought the new Olympus 7-14mm F2.8 Pro for my Olympus E-PL3 Micro Four Thirds in spite of the price but completely lost interest much as you say over this Nikon lens, once ...

Your shot in the bar is superb and believable, which is what I always want in a panorama. Those one often sees where a straight or near straight object twists much like a snake annoy me. In this ...

Perspective is a function of distance, also position up and own, left and right and not focal length but surprisingly few people know this. However, a very wide angle enables you to get very close ...

If you had seen the original scene, you would not think I had overdone it. It was both incredible and magnificent. Different parts of the Dolomites are. Also I do not like photos without a ...

Since first writing here, it occurred to me to stretch vertically as shown below and the result is much better, now close to what I actually saw, including the road which did curve around just as ...

I hate panoramas where the distortion is obvious, but luckily, this is less of a problem with landscape photography where straight lines are not often an issue. Also, unless one knows the scene ...

Reassuring what you both say, even if very few are as careful about these matters as we are.

I have just decided that one needs to treat all lens reviews with very great caution. And I do mean all. Except for macros, you cannot expect the best lens definition or curvilinear distortion up ...

Everyone, have a look at this - all bokeh with a bit of image as well. Beautifully done, totally unexpected and ingenious.

Some other nice work on noncho's site too.

For a guy whose web site consists mostly of crap you talk with a lot of bravado. For you a Box Brownie will do.

I have been watching the Greek crisis closely and, while dire shortcomings there led to their financial difficulties, I condemn the creditors for existing and new measures they are trying to impose...

This is yet another example of capitalism gone mad and some people having money way beyond their actual needs to spend frivolously. I had this lens in the early 1970s in a mount for Exakta Varex...
