The Pentax leaf shutter lenses are slower and older than dirt; what's the point? They just can't compare to modern leaf shutter lenses and Pentax should have its behind whipped for not having at...

I'm curious... How is syncing at 1/2000th "surpassed by other cameras in every way"? ;)

aris14, I agree, pixel peeping and DXO, and going on about MTF charts are for those who love talking about equipment. However, when you shoot in order to eat, size matters just like HP, torque, or...

"And this camera is really not that heavier than a FF DSLR. If you carry your D810 around, you can easily carry a Hasselblad."

... until you put a 120 macro or 300mm lens (basically a 5 pound...

aris14... I'd rather look at the anatomy-of-the-eye printed from a 100mp back, than from my 20mp Canon. I'd also rather view such on a 27" 2010 era computer monitor because the bottom line is that...

MichaelK81.... "Smart, financially successful photographers" do the basic math to figure out at what point does renting become far more expensive and limiting compared to just purchasing and...

pk... I haven't tried the XF yet but would love to. I just can't in principle, get past the 'system' costs, though I love C1. I bet you're enjoying it!

I think utphoto is referring to you...

50mp has never "cut it" for those who want 200mp worth of Large Format sheet film image quality with a bit of cropping room. We're not even "there" yet. It's not that 50mp is huge, it's that 12,...

pkcpga, kb2zuz ... it's all the other nuances and software that make the Phase/Hasselblad better overall "systems". It's up to each photographer to note what is/isn't important to their work, and...

I love Hasselblad, but the bottom line is that you're not typically *ever* going to see much of a *practical difference*, neither between 14 and 16 bit, nor between a 50mp...

Phase, Hassy and Pentax will likely have the same sensor; it's the electronic nuances and other offerings that will be different. I am very interested in how Pentax is going to play this...

It's a horrible bummer and I knew that going in, but there was too many good things about the 645Z for me to pass up. On the opposite end of the scale, the shutter speed goes up to 1/4000th which ...

Not worth it in my opinion if you don't really need the additional pixels. I think if you really did need the additional pixels, you'd already own or have your money down on a 5Ds series, D800 ...

Learning how to *apply* the concepts of a/ss/iso takes most budding photographers of at least average intelligence, more than just a "few minutes"... or even a few weeks for that matter. About as ...

I think him staying in manual mode is the best thing he can do- it'll make his mind balance shutter speed, aperture and iso in a more fluid mental motion no matter what the conditions.  He will ...

Using manual everything is the fastest way for you to learn the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, and iso.  Learn your camera in manual first, then worry about letting the camera take ...

eBay has great deals on Pentax 645 lenses.  You can find excellent copies that are practically brand new for less than half-the-price of what you'd pay from B&H, Adorama, Keh, etc..  Remember to ...

I agree.

He wasn't at all "talking down to you" nor "trolling"... you're just too touchy over someone telling you not only what you want to hear, but what a reasonable adult in your shoes, should be able ...
