"People are taking more pictures now than ever before, billions of them, but there are no slides, no prints. Just data. Electronic dust. Years from now when they dig us up there won't be any pictures to find, no record of who we were or how we lived."
Except my occasional Tri X prints and negs.

It is the distance from camera to subject that determines the perspective. If you crop and thus you change the FOV to a narrower one then you have to move away from the subject to get the same framing thus you get the same perspective.
I grant you the first point - subject to camera distance leads to perspective. However, in the case of a short lens, e.g., 28mm and a desired head shoulders portrait, the photographer would have to move closer to the subject and thus "distort" the perspective unfavorably. IF the photographer moves further away, then the perspective might be better but the extent of the crop would be much greater.

What Burghbyrd DID say is quite correct.

Sorry, I still disagree. Cropping only changes the FOV, not the focal length. Changing the FOV from cropping can yield the FOV of a different focal length lens. The focal length can change the perspective of the subject.

Bingo!! One might choose to mount a 26mm pancake lens on a small mirrorless body (e.g. Nikon Z7II) for a "street photography" set up and rely on cropping as you point out to extend the effective focal length when necessary.
cropping does not extend the focal length. It only changes the FOV. A head and shoulders portrait at 26mm isn't going to look very pleasing.

. Perhaps my visitors/potential customers are not very knowledgeable or sophisticated photographers, but I think lacking intimate knowledge of the equipment involved makes a huge difference in the ability of many people to assess (and perceive) image quality. Or lack thereof.
Is the print from a slide one from Kodachrome 25?

First I heard such a rumor. I'd sooner give up photography than have to twist my lenses the wrong way.

Wasn't it Mark Twain who said the rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated?

The only time I could tell them apart was at the full resolution pixel peeped at 100%. But the only way anyone can see that is on a monitor where the magnified image is way too big to fit the screen.
There is a message here and some of you aren't going to be happy with it.

I am planning a specific landscape photo shoot which is 300 miles away (summer home location). I plan to capture a shot that I can have printed to a large final size (ca. 30x36). For this I'm taking my D850 and several lenses on a hike to make sure the resolution can work for this large print size. My other FF body is 16 mp. So the 46mp of the D850 seems to make sense for me in this situation.

The only topics in the digest linked at bottom of this page are new in the past couple of days. When you re-open the email now, is it still there?
I thought it was in the "main photography" section, but no longer there.
I will pay closer attention from now on. Thank you for your help. I'll be careful about Zombie threads:)

The topic showed up in today's "issue" of UHH. I'm confused.

I ask if the buyer has an E-Bay user name which I could look up and see their satisfaction rating. Mine is 100% and I've worked diligently to keep it that way.

Currently I have a 200-500 on a D850.
Thanks to all in advance. I appreciate your responses.

I'm 80. I can't hand hold my D850 with 200-500. I use a 300 f4 with 1.4 and it offers enough that I don't plan to go longer for hand holding.

I passes this along to my wife. I should be discharged from the hospital in about a week. :)

Read the book with the camera in your hands and try each function as you read that section. It's just a few electrons and this began my muscle memory of handling the controls. The expected shutter life is very high. You won't wear it out.

[quote=selmslie]We [should] already know that visible noise (signal to noise ratio aka S/N or SNR) is the determined by exposure, not ISO.
When I view images on my monitor, especially images of people wearing black clothing, the noise is very visible in the clothing. Therefore I conclude from your explanation, I should expose for the dark clothing and then post process to darken the overexposed skin tones?
