Much depends on the dynamic range of the scene. No way a jpg can touch a raw in high contrast situation. The same goes when you need to correct white balance.

Just noticed that one of the house HDRs has some ghosting. Here is a better one:

Recently a couple of Chinese companies have come out with 9mm full frame lenses. The first was Laowa, but now Seven Artisans has also come out with their version which is considerably cheaper. I picked up the 7 Artisan version for a couple of prime time documentaries I will be shooting this summer, as I will be doing some tight interiors and thought this might be helpful. This lens is not only wild but is of extremely high quality. I have the version sold under the label "Brightin Star", which includes a removable back ND filter, but is otherwise identical to the 7 Artisans. The lens is VERY sharp, from corner to corner, has excellent contrast and hardly any flares or comets working against the light. Downside is only that it is relatively slow (f5.6) and has quite a bit of light falloff, which is inevitable in a rectilinear lens this wide, but which is easily corrected. Here are some shots. The look is extreme and obviously not for everything, but it can easily be cropped if desired. Shots are in a famous old abandoned mansion near Lake Como and in Venice

Selling some DSLR gear. Took my D500 in hand and snapped a few pics. Great feeling and sound. That mirror moving up and down brings back fond memories.
Anyone else?

So absolutely past DSLRs. Mirrorless forever. The advantages are too numerous to mention.

Syncing free run or time of day time code on all cams is the easiest way, then load them all in Avid as multicams

Just FYI these are water lilies, not lotuses. Lotus leaves do not lie flat in the water.

Sigma 8-16mm. Much wider than Tokina, if you can live with f4-5.6

The Zone System works best with sheet film, where every exposure can be custom processed. Trying to do it with roll film ensures that compromises will have to be made, unless you have the same exposure objective with every frame on the roll.

Makes no sense. Why do they care if the jpgs started out as raw only capture? I can see why they don't want gigantic raw files, and certainly jpgs are all a news organization would need, but how the photographer took them originally is a moot point I would think.
They are trying to ensure minimum processing of images. For what they need the quality loss in jpgs doesn't matter, and it ensures consistency.
