I own and use the Color Munki.
Works well and is very easy to use.
I calibrate before printing (I do not print very often).
I use it on an iMac with an hp monitor.


Thank you

Would like to hear any views on the Spyder 5 or any other Monitor calibration device.

As said in OP this is just out of curiosity.

What's your experience? What's your review of the Hasselblad compared to Nikon, Canon, or others?


Difficult to compare, Very different cameras, Medium format against 35mm.

My goal is not to get my lens or filter dirty so it does not need cleaning.
If it does I have a Lens pen brush to clean off any dust.
Then I use a high quality lens cleaner with lens tissue. Zeiss has combined both into a single one time use lens wipe. If you keep UV filter on your lens, you should have no need to clean that lens.


I agree, The number of times I have seen photographers scrubbing their lenses, I'm sure doing more (possibly permanent) harm than good. Use a blower first (I have a Giotto), if necessary a blower brush, and as a last resort very gently wipe with an appropriate tissue or lens cloth

Your best bet is Wacom, but beware. I just couldn't get the hang of it and now back with the mouse. One problem I had was that when moving the pen it has to be held a few mm from the tablet, when touching the tablet with the pen I would usually miss the target. A problem I do not find with a mouse, Just move the mouse until the cursor is on the target and click. I find this much more positive and accurate.

I (and I am sure most who have contributed) would like to find out the source of the focus problem. (Probably camera shake or a lens problem) so would it be possible to post another shot of a suitable static subject, at about the same distance as the bird with lens set on the same focal length (300mm) and aperture (f5.6). (and maybe another at f11 as the lens should give its best results around this aperture)?

If you haven't a tripod with a remote release, place the camera on a solid support, hold it firmly down and gently release the shutter (It might be worth adjusting the ISO to allow a shutter speed of 1/500 or faster)

All to often we don't see the results of suggestions.

As most have said it certainly looks like camera shake, so do put camera on tripod (or solid support, hold it firmly down and gently release the shutter) focus on something static (like sign or something with a bit of contrast) and take the shot at anything over 1/400 sec. Try it at f5.6. Please let us see the results.
The aperture at f5.6 should more than cover DOF in the photograph you show, but a lens gives its best usually a couple of stops down from wide open.

The third from top (outside waiting for my wife) could have made a good shot, making it into portrait by cropping from the edge of the trash bin on left to the car aerial on right. Unfortunately its not as sharp as it could be.

It is confusing but your Panasonic FZ200 has a actual focal length of 4.5 - 108mm, that is equivalent to 25 to 600mm on a full frame camera. 70 to 300mm is the actual focal length of your Canon lens, but because you are using it on a (APSC) crop sensor that would be equivalent to 112 to 480mm. (The Panasonic lens however should have brought your fox a little closer).
Hope that hasn't made it even more confusing.

I had the A6000 with the Sony Zeiss 16-70 f4, (have now changed the body to 6300, with same lens), lens expensive but great combination.

Would the Property Details give any indication of whether it is a double exposure?

besides a slightly wider angle there is an f stop difference, one is 2.8 the other 4 and the 16 to 70 is APC the other full frame.


The Vario Tessar, 24-70 full frame E mount lens is f4.
The Vario Sonnar, 24-70 full frame A mount lens is f2.8, but would require an adapter to fit the A6000.

By the way they are both E-mount so will fit the A6000, and they are both f4 lenses but I would definitely go for the 16-70 because it is designed for APSC cameras and has a longer zoom range
