    The 16-Bit Fallacy

    You did but it's now hidden behind a paywall. As you own the copyright you may want to post a download link to a pdf.

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    @Doppler9000 Thank you. I should have expressed myself differently. **off topic As an aside, The Oxford English Dictionary lists three distinct meanings for ‘open book’ with the first known use dating back to the mid 1600s. Apparently, there are 0.3 occurrences per million words in modern...

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    It’s an ‘open book’ because the final outcome of these financial machinations are unknown. The 10% tariff is but an interim step valid for 90 days.

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    … ostensibly ‘cos US customers are the ones targeted by the new tariff? Nevertheless, it’s an open book as to how P1 finally decide to implement the increase. Once a decision is made, the dealers should be the first to know. @Steve Hendrix - where are you? The 3% surcharge isn’t the only...

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    The 3% is a price increase in response to the current 10% tariff. I’d suspect that if/ when the tariff rate changes , so will the 3% surcharge. IIRC, PhaseOne orders are always priced in Danish Kroner (converted to your ‘local’ currency when you place the order). With a weakening dollar...

    Capture Sharpening, output sharpening & up sizing?

    In case anyone's interest is piqued, Dave is referring to software by PixelGenius, now discontinued but available as freeware. Full details and download on the website. PixelGenius Announcement Regarding PhotoKit™ Products https://www.pixelgenius.com

    The thing about GetDPI ....

    Unfortunately, both those aims seem, to me, to be mutually exclusive. A gentle change in focus would, IMO, be more beneficial than a wholesale surgical ‘transplant’ of the site’s identity - a focus on MF to the exclusion of FF/35mm format would certainly limit the site’s appeal. The focus of...

    The latest image-processing tool you discovered and love it

    Not the latest but one of the first. Best described ss a ‘capture sharpening’ tool - the link below describes it better than I can. Judicious use recommended. https://www.focusmagic.com/

    S4

    All good news added to the latest revenue record report confirming that Leica are on the right path: "Wetzlar, 20 November 2024. The Leica Camera Group registers another new revenue record for the fiscal year 2023/2024. With a renewed increase in revenue of 14% to EUR 554m against the previous...

    Good free photo editing programs

    Leica SL3

    I’d misread one of your earlier posts and promptly deleted my post well before your reply. Nevertheless, notwithstanding the patronising intro, thanks - as I see from the time stamps you kept on refining it for over an hour after my deletion! Back on topic , do you have any info as to whether...

    Leica SL3

    Given the scenario you're suggesting then I'll buy the new S4 optics - irrespective of whether or not I add the S4. Tend to follow the mantra "you date a camera body but marry a lens". Just a personal opinion. Just to be clear from your statement above - the new S4 optics will also be usable...

    Leica SL3

    Perhaps we should rename this thread 'Paul Spinnier - unleashed' [/jesting] But Paul does have a point. I bought the SL3 for use w/ M mount lenses - both latest versions and the irreplaceable vintage 75mm Summilux - for that 'look'. Everything else is sold except for the original M8 (and yes...

    Thoughts on Leica SL2 with M-lenses (landscapes)

    Imageprint Black for BW pictures

    Going back a long way here. I used Imageprint briefly back in the early days of the Epson 3800 and instead ended up using B&W profiles made by one Eric Chan (who was promptly hired / hijacked by Adobe) ! Can't comment on how they make their profiles, but How many printers do you use ? How many...

    Coming back to Leica

    IMO, it most definitely is if you’re in the habit of looking back over photographs and wondering ‘what lens did I use ? ‘ When coding came out I sent my old lenses back to Leica but with ‘non-Leica’ glass one doesn’t have that option. A black felt-tip marker and good ‘how-to’ info should make it...

    Leica SL3

    Leica pre-empted the clamour for firmware improvements, but nothing in the appendix so far!
