The Great JPEG Shootout (The Camera Store)
I would also like a test on what bread toasts best. That's how meaningful this is. Back to my RAW, or adjusting the JPEG settings. Cheers! Simon

My K5ii chews up SD cards
Always use Sandisk, never had an issue, use the camera almost every day, put over 100,000 shots on my old K-7 in 3 years prior to retiring it, never a hitch. The only time I've had a problem was when I loaned a card to someone and it came back with one of the plastic bits between the contacts snappe...

My K5ii chews up SD cards
It's hard to disagree with Sandisk's take on it .... They have been very accommodating really, and have probably gone over and above considering its clearly a problem at the user end ....ie the camera SD slot or 'misuse'. I'd have tried a different make of card also to see if the problem occurs wit...

Monitors
Taking the advice of members on this forum I bought a Dell Ultrasharp 24" - the U2415. Look back in this section and you'll see 2 threads on monitors with their discussions. All I can say is they were right in their recommendations. Very good monitor at a good price

Product photography set up.
Hi Dave I would certainly use a lens of at least 100mm focal length, easier to isolate the subjects and get diffused backgrounds. Also, one that has smooth bokeh. I wouldn't be afraid of using manual focus as it's immaterial on static subjects, you can use the Live View to get it 100% spot on...

Aperture (RIP!)
I have been using Aperture for years, ok maybe these days not the most up to date app out there, but I like what it did. For me it did the basic stuff - imported my RAW PEF's - allowed me the basic manipulation I wanted, crop, levels and sharpness. But most important, I liked the way it could ...

sigma af superwide ii 24mm 2.8
I have this lens (and previously owned the manual focus version). It's an excellent lens, though in common with other older Sigma wide angle lenses it suffers from flare if you're not careful, so try to get a copy with the original hood. Nothing apart from the usual to check, I'm not aware of an...

Coming up to 10k photos, how can I keep files separate without getting duplicate file names?
I altered the prefix to BILL for in camera some time ago (you could do similar and alter slightly with an additional digit in the prefix in future) but I use my K3 so much I will soon have the same issue again this next month or so. Personally I either locate/sort files by taken date and/or by f...

looking forward
I shall continue photographing the things I like best, street photography, steam trains, people getting dressed up in fantastic costumes such as at the Whitby Goths, the Edinburgh Fringe performers and the occasional Scottish or Welsh mountain landscape. It would also be nice to come back home with ...

looking forward
Something recently prompted me to get the Spotmatic out (and it all still works) so I shall be looking forward to the anticipation of getting one's processed film back once again. It is surprising how much you have to think about what you are doing with it so the first bit of 2017 will be a retro le...

Boxes, and what to do with them
I try and keep boxes whenever I can - I store them in the back of a wardrobe, behind jackets/coats, etc. It's a 'dead' space. Phil

Boxes, and what to do with them
Thanks for the responses. Divorce is not an option. Nor is collapsing the boxes - many have complicated insides to them designed to protect the original contents. I have put them all in a removal box, along with some other bits and bobs of photographic stuff. We will end up sharing a room for hobbi...

When the lens model doesn't show up in the Exif
Many a Pentax photographer wonders why their exif data fails to show the lens used.... sometimes! In fact the problem isn't just one for Pentax users, looking at comments regarding images taken on other marques suggests the same problem arises. Yet sometimes the lens model does show up in the exif...

When the lens model doesn't show up in the Exif
WHY? Do you need to know what lens was used to take the photograph? It's immaterial! Why? 1. Someone might ask you which lens you used to take a particular photo. 2. You might be comparing several lenses for a review to see which performs best (and worst.) Safest to be able to get the detail corr...

When the lens model doesn't show up in the Exif
It isn't the lens or the camera that makes a photograph good, it's the person behind the equipment. that determines the image, i.e. composition, lighting, etc.. People ask because they are ignorant of the facts, they think a "good" camera and "lens" make "good" photographs. One of my early photogr...

When the lens model doesn't show up in the Exif
You walk closer to the object when using the 50mm lens. (Both photos have to be taken on the same format.) Moving closer changes the perspective on anything other than a completely flat subject. If you were 100m from the subject & walk to 50m away that's halved the distance, so the subject should b...
