Ditto!

Thanks!

Thank you.  Not my house, but the furnishings are definitely in keeping with the age of the home.

With 2.8/28 Zeiss Contax mounted..... :) :) Actually a large mirror in a 19th century house I'm photographing.  The wife is a harpist. Same room, with the large mirror, which she uses to watch her ...

A good option depending on the photographer's needs. Thanks for investigating this compression and following up with Sony.

You're right, of course. My mistake. My apologies to Jazz.

A lens with the crop value of 75mm and f/1.2 would make an interesting portrait lens. (And if it had auto focus a street lens.) You have the crop factor backwards :). A 50mm lens on an APS-C...

Always manual focus only with Samyang/Rokinon/Bower lenses. For the price they are quite the bargain if you don't mind manual focus. I have two Rokinon's, the APS-C 12mm in Fuji X mount and the...

I have to agree with mcshan. There's a place for journalistic photos, but I don't think a portrait contest is that place. Photographers that think outside the current box show work that is a...

Absolutely true. But it's good to know what's available if you're looking for equipment for a speciific purpose. Also, I don't see much in the way of overkill about gear in the photos presented...

Such is the current genre, apparently. Look at models in today's ads. They are sombre, detached, and quite thin. Resembling nothing so much as jaded junkies. Whether this reflects modern...

Yeah, who needs anything more than a Kodak Instamatic.

Too true, I'm afraid.

A tendency I understand but don't appreciate. Back in the film days I started using Agfa transparency film because it retained natural colors. When I took a photo of pastel winter sunrise I...

I would agree with way too much saturation. Could be just on this site? Good photos though, and he's right about patience being the most important quality for a wildlife photographer.

Interesting.  The situation I have is that our homeowners insurance is now being handled by another underwriting company and I haven't yet discovered their policy concerning "mysterious ...

Thanks, I've actually seen that ring with an 18/4 on line.

Thanks!  There's a Planar in my Rolleiflex.
