Just passing through.
RawTherapee or Darktable for processing and Krita for raster. Not technically free, but with a generous trial, Photoline32 is very good, and in...
Graflex RB-series is better for handheld, though no movements on most models. RB-Series D is a hell of a camera. I used to shoot an RB Series B....
yeah, but isn't that kind of what's going on with a flat rate? I mean, I can cancel my Adobe subscription at the end of the term without penalty....
Of course technically that's how it's always been. The upfront cost of the license made it feel like "ownership", but it never was ...
One slight issue with some of the comments about subscription cost vs. film nostolgia though .... it isn't like there weren't ongoing expenses...
FUJI GX680!!!!!! Let me live vicariously through you! Seriously, though. In your case it might actually make sense. It's definitely going to be a...
We're talking about a brand that people will literally pay extra for the "double x" logo, which has no indication whatsoever on lens design ... so...
I'm not sure if APO actually means anything specific design-wise. I could be wrong, but from what I'm gathering it's more of a characteristic....
So I did some more digging, and I guess APO in Minolta-speak primarily means that they use "Anomalous Dispersion" glass, which I'm interpreting as...
For science!
yeah. that's what I was looking at, couldn't really figure it out and just assumed the 11/9 vs 11/10 was a something being passed along. But if...
Ahh! Ok. Yes. That should settle it then that it's a different design. Thanks! There is a service manual on the non-APO on the web somewhere that...
This weirdness: http://kurtmunger.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/May2010/3580scftclos3.jpg from what I understand, they're...
well, for twenty bucks, including a second crusty 80-200 with a corndog integrated shuttered lens cap (like on a p/s) "buy and try" is pretty...
No. I'm not professional and mostly use longer lenses for field flattening, not magnification. My only other 200mm is an old Takumar from the 60s...
Doing some research on a couple lenses I just purchased I've found that the 100-300 4.5-5.6 came in two varieties, the later APO version and the...
That definitely does make sense. And I'm finding myself not needing PS much with the latest version of LR - which is really *really* good compared...
definitely a bit rusty, so nothing too daring .... first exposure in like five years! [img]_DSC2218 by Shawn Kearney, on Flickr
Uhm. I’m not really sure I understand. Most photoshop users will be using adjustment layers pretty heavily, and pl32 and krita even have robust...
