Is the latest kid on the block EVIL?
I'm still of the opinion that an EVF is not a match for an OVF but the latest crop of EVFs are getting closer, in particular Oly's VF-2 is very good. The advantage of an EVF is that you can accurately judge the exposure in real time and to a degree the white balance. Another big plus is accuracy w...

Is the latest kid on the block EVIL?
I think it's a very long way from being able to judge either exposure or white balance. I'm surprised at your comment John, my experience has been that judging exposure simply by looking at the image presented to you is certainly an EVF's strong point. Image definition of course is not there yet...

Is the latest kid on the block EVIL?
I wouldn't mind seeing the histogram and or zebra stripes overlaid on the image in an evf... the bottom line for me is this... Video shooters with dslrs are resorting to mounting hoods/loups/eyecups over the back lcd to use it as a evf.. or the rich ones are doing something like this(off the vi...

Thank you Shaky to throwing the topic back on track. And Tim it was you and Unlucker who trying to praise Apple into the skies and no one really went into this. Come guys this something different. It's about Apple killing competition and forcing developers to use Apple software to develop Apps ...

I have always read that Apple were pretty good at complying with open-source licences, certainly compared to most other big businesses. OS X's open source components are available for download here http://www.apple.com/opensource/ Well that certainly does sound impressive on cursory inspection, but...

Carl if you join the Canon forums then hopefully the mods there will be a lot warmer and friendlier than here as the abuse of power here sometimes is disgusting - will I now be banned for saying that :?: Have you ever read a Canon forum? I joined one a while back when looking at different options...

Time to say goodbye
Have you ever read a Canon forum? I joined one a while back when looking at different options .. they have no sense of humour whatsoever .. in the end I banned myself. I agree entirely :D, sense of humour is really something that abounds here in this forum and it makes a jolly great place :D, and...

ISO 3200 and 6400
And in the early '60s, a REME recovery team on the way back from Kiel got "lost" in Hamburg. They ended up in the Reeperbahn, and had to wait right through the night, until mid-morning, for the civilian police to get them out. Opinions were sharply divided as to whether the getting lost was accide...

Best way to take photos from a plane?
I'm after a few pointers as I have a trial flight lesson over Snowdonia/Anglesey this weekend and would like to get a few shots at the same time. The flight is in a Cessna...just wondered which lens would be best (choice is 17-70 or 50-300 or 50mm prime). I'm intending using manual focus and...

Best way to take photos from a plane?
I find that aerial photography is actually an ideal opportunity to use my old FA 28-200. I took , for instance, at 38mm. Much wider than that, and you'll have a lot of aircraft structure in the shot, and detail on the ground will appear too far away. I took , on the other hand, at 200mm, ...

Best way to take photos from a plane?
It all depends on how long the flight is, There are several routes that you can take (or you can choose your own) To get Snowdon summit only you will need around 30 minutes straight out from Dinas Dinlle,(Caernarfon Airport) I was lucky to get some nice shots of a paraglider over a frozen Glaslyn du...

Returning to the world of Wide Angle
Hi Simon, I have the Sigma 10-20 EX DC and find it gives very little distortion, one of the reasons I bought it. The following test confirms my findings: http://www.photozone.de/pentax/146-sigma-af-10-20mm-f4-56-ex-dc-pentax-k-review--test-report Regards, John Hi John, I read the tests ...

Returning to the world of Wide Angle
Awaiting delivery today so once I've had chance to take a few shots I'll report back.. I read a few user reviews before buying which were mostly positive, it's weakness seems to be flare due to the bulbous front element which I guess is a factor on a lot of UWA lenses to differing degrees. S...

Returning to the world of Wide Angle
Just a follow-up to my original post... My return to the world of wide angle was extremely short lived - the Sigma 14mm F2.8 was so disappointing I immediately sent it back for a refund !! The DA 12-24 is now the only wide angle I'm interested in, unfortunately current pricing puts it beyond...

Returning to the world of Wide Angle
I sold my Da 12-24mm in order to get the Da 14mm. I was just too frustrated by the minimum focus distance of the 12-24mm. When you're shooting this wide, a strong foreground is often needed I find & you need to get pretty close to help fill the frame. I also found the Da14mm to be more flare resista...
