The No:1 Rule in professional photography is that you don't take
chances That's why in the film era 5"x4" was the minimum
acceptable for architectural photography even though it could
have been risked and done in half the time with a Hasselblad.

A magazine editor working to a deadline would love you if they
sent you to get some shots of the piece of sculpture holding
the blue flowers in it's natural surroundings and wanted it
800 pixels wide and they got a complaint from the printers
saying they couldn't use it and won't meet the deadline because
the edges were jagged

I don't think the editor would be very impressed with the
excuse that you've got the full sized one in front of you
and it's OK and it's Photoshops fault and you don't know
how to use any other tools with say Lanzcos algorithmns

That's why they (editors) use photographers that they've
known for years, because they can get the image correct
and meet the deadline. That's the reason the likes of
David Bailey have such long careers. Editors won't risk
using unknowns.

The guy who did the George Formby stuff should be on TV,
some really brilliant impressions of musicians.

I like this one of the Beatles....

Of course it's correct When Mr Wu moved into Window Cleaning
George Formby moved into food and invented the 'GEORGE FORMBY GRILL'

As advertised on Youtube... LINK

"Drink the FAT and chuck the meat"

Did you know that in India a 'George Formby Grill' is sold
as a 'Sanjeev Kapoor Grill'

You can partly remove moire in Photoshop, which is OK if
you only have a couple to do..... bit of a bugger if it's
a 500 shot wedding though

Waters a brilliant cleaner..... especially when fired
through a Karcher high pressure jet washer...... it can even
remove concrete

When I bought a Huey Calibrator it came with two sachets of
KLEAR SCREEN Tissues. Just one wipe and the screen was spotless.
I keep meaning to hunt them down in the UK.

EDIT: They seem expensive These from the US
cost £1.61 each... Ouch!!! link

EDIT2:
Just ordered 12 + cloth from Amazon £7.99 delivered.
Well worth it. The tissue will keep a few days if
you reseal the bag. Will do TV as well.

Who said anything about being precise
As the man from LensRentals says...
"I should be clear, I don’t do a full-ballistic, OCD, 600-shot microfocus adjustment. I’m too aware that phase detection AF is a shotgun, not a sniper’s rifle. "

--

Do you mean USB Dock?

It's just a docking station for the lens so that you can
carry out the micro-focus adjustment about 16 times
Something to do during the dark cold winter months that
lie ahead
