Adobe enhance and the Q2
Lately learned about with Adobe's "enhance" feature which uses AI to make massive files out of smaller ones with shockingly very little degradation of the image. As a test a 13.2mb Raw file taken in 2008 became a 183 mb file. Dimensions of the smallish original print at 300 dpi went from 9 x... -
Q2 prices on ebay
Could someone tell me why prices for a new Q2 on Ebay are not only higher than they are now they're higher than the proposed price increases announced by Leica? I mean caveat emptor and all that but seriously do people who are considering a Q2 pony up $6100 say for a camera they can get now --... -
Anyone considering the new GM 50mm f1.2?
Just curious. Some of the images I've seen posted are quite impressive. P -
Viewfinder behavior question for R6 and R5 owners (and others with cameras sporting articulating LCD's).
I was curious what the effect using smart phones has had on camera behavior. Do you find yourself using the articulating screen more than the viewfinder? I know in my case I tend to look at the LCD to compose quick shots more than I use an EVF despite how fabulous their resolution has become... -
The Canon R6 may be one of the best kept secrets.
The Canon R6 may be one of the most underrated cameras around today. While its 20 mp sensor is at the lower end of the pixel wars relative to a lot of cameras, measurements published on the DxO website suggest it has a pretty decent dynamic range of nearly 14 stops. (It apparently has the same... -
OVF question with the X100 - X100V
Lately I've gotten interested in the X100V for a slew of reasons but what I'd like to know from anyone whose used either the new x100V in particular or the previous models is what the experience is like looking through the OVF with the frame line around the scene. Is the view reasonably... -
In praise of the new iPhone SE
Save for a few shots for a "rough draft" or "reference shot" on projects, or a quick snap on the fly when I didn't have a regular camera handy (which I suppose is the chief argument for having a camera in your phone) I haven't used a phone for a lot of photos. That's about to change with the...- peterb

Poor man's Noctilux?
I saw these on a video by Jared (Fro-knows-foto) Polin of Philadelphia extolling the virtues of SIgma's 35mm f1.2 Art lens that appears to offer tack sharp focus from center to edge and a very 'anorexic' depth of field. These two shots were taken with the Sony A9 which is the only other mount...- peterb

Question regarding the L mount and the Leica CL
Has anyone posted shots taken with the Leica CL and one of Sigma's L mount Art lenses? Just curious how the IQ and bokeh would be. Thanks.- peterb

Thambar lens announcement.
Announced in Japan today. DPReview posted some sample images. While I've come to expect amazing results from Leitz optics which I feel justify their lofty prices (although some may demur), this time $6500 seems like an awful lot of money for a lens whose prime selling point is its softness... -
FS Sigma DP2 Merrill camera with MASSIVE Array of Accessories.
Hi everyone, I've been fighting a pernicious bone marrow cancer called multiple myeloma. I'm 63 am recently out of work and, thanks to the chemo have become disabled. To help take on the absurdly high costs that aren't covered by my insurance I am reluctantly having to sell my camera gear...- peterb

Leica Q vs Rx1r II
I'd been considering the Leica Q and, of course, the Sony RX1r was just announced. So I went on to Flickr (my go-to site for comparing lenses and cameras) to compare images and sensors. I looked at images produced by the Leica Q, the Sony RX1r (to mostly see how the 35mm f2 Zeiss fared on a... -
Thoughts on this?
Saw this post on photo rumors: Konost FF is a full frame digital rangefinder camera that seeks funding | Photo Rumors Here's their website: Konost | They're using a 20mp CMOS sensor. So I suspect it may be the same as the sensor used in the Canon 6D which I can attest is REALLY REALLY... -
M240 Viewfinder question
Could anyone tell me what the magnification and the apparent horizontal field of view through the optical view finder is on the M240 (or M9)? Thanks! Peter -
Brenizer Method w/6D
About a year ago or so I started reading about this incredible technique developed by a NYC based wedding photographer named Ryan Brenizer. He was on vacation in Ireland and wanted to get a particular shot of a cemetery (I think) but didn't have a lens fast enough or wide enough to shoot it. He... -

Wow! Is that thing ever loud!
The other day at work we were notified that a photographer (who is a friend of one the business managers) would be coming in to take head shots of staff members. Well this morning this guy comes into office I share with a colleague and he starts snapping away first at my roommate then at me... -

Major problems with new Canon 6D!
Recently I bought the Canon 6D with a Sigma 35mm f1.4 "A" lens to use with it (no kit for me). Until then I had used digital cameras that were limited in the ISO's available (ISO 400 or under), glacially slow AF, questionable framing (DP2 Merrill). As a result I had adopted a shooting style...
