Infrared with K7
yes, I know, my first slr digital was the *isd and I took some IR shots at 1/125th of a second without an issue using a R72 filter. I then traded up to a K10d and was stunned to find out that camera was useless for IR. I also now have K7 that works fairly well but certainly not as good as the *is...

Vivitar 2X Macro Teleconverter
Thank you both for your answers! Frogfish: That is an amazing macro! I would not have enjoyed having an A2 format print of that fly in my bedroom:shock: I realise that the Vivitar TC is mainly for macro, but I wanted to see what result I could achieve using it as a 2x TC. I paid about GBP 30 ...

Hyperfocal distance.
You can of course use the DOF preview (or take a test shot) to check depth of field well before the bat flies into view... or whatever it is you're photographing! You could experiment in daylight to see how big the dof is with the camera at various aperture and focus settings. With some film came...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
I owned a Minolta A200 'bridge camera' before a Canon G9. These cameras are not a patch on Pentax DSLR's. They are very poor at high ISO, have very limited EV range often with blown highlights. The optics can't compare and they certainly can't match the speed of my KR. You certainly can't judg...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
I basically agree with Hefty. DSLRs won't last much longer IMO. Another 20 years maybe. By then every mobile phone will have some incredible video camera in it, where every single frame will be better than current dslr IQ. They'll have tiny liquid lenses which reshape themselves to change focal leng...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
EVF's/LCD's and CCD's etc follow Moore's Law. dSLR's will fade from the mainstream within a decade, just as film SLR's were swept away a decade ago. But not to extinction, just to mass-market irrelevance. Note that SLR's date back over a century -- 4x5in SLR's were used by combat photographers then....

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
There´s very, very little in the way, technology-wise, of getting rid of DSLRs and replacing them with mirrorless cameras. The biggest problem is that C & N have far too much invested in their current systems to want to change to a new one. The lens line-ups are massive, and all designed for DSLRs...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
Development costs would rapidly be paid off by savings in exactly-manufactured & expensive mirror-boxes & penta-mirrors / -prisms. AF problems would be a thing of the past. But the EVF also cost money. Also to use the camera you must use a LCD screen and that means the sensor is also on and the pr...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
apples retina display for the iphone is close to the cost of the glass in the pentaprism of your camera. optical glass is expensive.... EVF also have optics in them for the diopter, it's only missing the prisma and i've no idea what the price is off that. But back to the topic, EVIL will not repl...

Ten Sexy Up Coming Models for 2011
The Ten Top Models on Benjamin Kanarek Blog was a huge success and we felt that it would be a worthy addendum to list Ten Sexy Up and Coming Models for Spring-Summer 2011. The choices out there were numerous and as a result choosing ten girls from the massive choices available was not an easy task. ...

It’s a bit embarrassing but
My best advice, from what works for me, is snap with your gut feeling. If it feels like there's something catching your eye then take the picture. Don't worry too much about the settings being correct ( Often the wrong settings produce a better vibe picture) but try and make sure you've got some...

It’s a bit embarrassing but
Just to drag this back to the question, there is a reason great photographers only ever seem to make great photographs - because they only show the ones they show and you never see the bad ones. But this site is about learning. I reckon I am happy if 1% of all the photographs I take are good enou...

So is there an optical viewer for the live view screen?
For a few days I've been doing what algernon suggested which is to use the camera with capture mode set to monochrome. This has no effect whatsoever on the RAW image, but it means that live view and review modes show a mono image. The advantage for me is that I can then compose in mono, so the...

For a few days I've been doing what algernon suggested which is to use the camera with capture mode set to monochrome. Good idea.... but it wasn't me :wink: I use the 5x magnifier hood off my Bronica S2A 6x6 camera to look at previews to check exposure, focus etc. The same as this It's not fix...
