Until we see otherwise I stand by my statement that Dan is a liar and a fraud.


I don't think Dan is a liar or a fraud! I think he is naive and doesn't have good taste.

He has already been caught in several lies. He has also made claims he can't back up.

It's time for him to put up or shut up.

I'll keep all you delusional deniers up to date as returns on the 850 continue to come in. Rockwell said its purchase is a no brainer but, that doesn't count for much. Of course, Tony Northrup said essentially the same thing, but who the hell is he! So let's keep track of all LKP deniers so that we can ID those that are seriously dumb. Let the experts speak, but don't forget you heard it from me first. I'll not let you deniers forget it!

I'm not sure who you mean, I don't think that anyone would think or claim that this is not a great camera. I think people have an issue with your delivery more than the camera itself. If you were to be honest, you would admit that if you saw yourself and your posts as a different person, I don't think that you would trust yourself of give much credibility. Speaking the way you do, yet not having any proof of your skills or lack of skills on a photography forum is silly. If your pictures looked half as good as you claim, everyone would respect what ever you had to say as far as photography was concerned. As you stand right now, are you really surprised how you are being treated? Let your work speak for itself. You don't need to call Steve Perry an LKP to give your ego a false boost. Have you even seen Steve's work?

Because all Nikons do exactly the same thing.

When the highlights begin to exceed the limits of the JPEG range (the histogram just passes the right be of the display) the blinkies start to flash. If you have not gone too far (about 8000 in the 14-bit raw file) you can still recover the highlights when you do your own raw conversion on your computer. If you go too far the highlights will pass the limit of the raw file (about 16000 in the raw file) and the highlights will be irretrievably blown.

This does not happen at the same level for each RGB color. To get a better idea of how all of this works, download a copy of RawDigger.

This works the same for Sony cameras - at least for the ones I have tested. It's probably different for Canon cameras but I have not studied them.

Gotcha, thank you for the explanation I will check out the Raw Digger😊
Although this being a Panasonic sensor this time around it is supposed to handle highlights a bit better.

Based on what I have seen on DxOMark I am assuming that Canon sensors don't blow out as abruptly as Nikon and Sony. Panasonic and Olympus may be somewhere between Canon and the other two but I can't say for sure.

Maybe not a Panasonic sensor but in a Panasonic camera it is using Panasonic software.

It will be using Nikon software an meet Nikon specs, designed by Nikon but made by another supplier. We'll have to see how it performs.

You can Google it. It is actually an Israeli company 49% owned by Panasonic. Tower Jazz

I do have a Bronica ETRSi in the closet... But I haven't needed it in 20 years.

You beat me as I never used 120/220 film camera. I did use 4x5 but I didn't have a 4x5 camera. I used a Polaroid 150. I put the camera in the changing bag and load 1 sheet of 4x5 in there at a time. I used Vericolor III (kinda Portra) and they came out great. Not very sharp but grainless, very smooth looking. I like that very much. Making 8x10 print on RA-4 paper those negs look very nice compared to prints from the 35mm cameras.

That's creative, using a Polaroid for Kodak sheet film!

Vericolor III was an interesting film. We bought it, and Portra, by the truckload, where I worked. I remember the switch from Vericolor II to III... MAJOR controversy. V-II was *ASA* 100. V-III was *ISO* 160, but performed like VII when exposed at 100 on the meter. So every old pro thought Kodak was lying when they blamed V-III's softer gamma...

Actually the 70mm with Estar base had to be exposed at 80. The 46mm and 35mm unperforated were both 100, and 135 (35mm perforated) was 125, "most of the time."

Why do people argue over brand x vs brand y?

It is so frigging pointless.

Get off your a$$ and go make images, and quit trying to TELL everyone, "Mine's bigger than yours..."
