SOL! One of the many reasons I never touch Apple......

What a sick pervert the democrats have nominated with a proven record of rape.


Just as all Trump Supporters have done. He's proven to be a sick rapist with no sense of morals whatsoever.

Based on income. Those on Social Security get it also.

The Df has a D4 processor and sensor, it is also the only camera that Nikon has that is hand assembled from machined parts in house in Japan. It is a work of art but it also one of the better camera's that Nikon has produced! I purchased mine a few months after they came out and it is still a joy to use. I do get tired of people making statements about a camera that they have never used let alone ever held in their hand.
Nikon's D5 flagship sells for over 6500.00 and it only has 20 mp.


Love your piper..... I lived in Cincinnati and took my flight training at Waynesville airport roughly half way between Cinci and Dayton. did my first 20 hours in one of their four Piper J3 Cubs on a 1600 foot grass strip, No Avionics (radios,only handhelds) They also had a couple of soaring gliders and a largish jump club. There was an occasional DC3 that came over from lower Indianna and the sky was full of general aviators, jumpers and a few warbirds buzzin the field.

Played havoc on the first tee of the golf could across from the routine takeoff end of the strip.

Would love to visit their again, if it's still in operation.

This is not digital -- but is analog. Check out the Rollei/Agfa 400 film. When developed in HC 110 64 or 128 to one mix --- It is outstanding. Not as convenient as digital -- but striking results.


SORRY? You are WRONG.. The Fuji is DIGITAL in the form of the X-trans 16MP MILC -mirrorless interchangeable Lens camera and a damn fine digital at that. It can be used for the purpose discussed when upon conversion to infra-red.

A very good candidate indeed after you take in the conversion cost to infra-red. I have two X-A3's and use them a great deal.

Look for the last lens that was designed for AF and that range on film canons. All film camera lenses are designed for the 35mm frame. I think you might find what you are looking for. But it won't necessarily be state of the art. Just good. I use Canon film lenses for EOS mount full frame digital.

Good condition, clean optics. Smooth controls. Lens cap and lens hood included. Shows iittle wear.
it on X-E1s and X-E2s, plus my X-A3. Focuses fast. Firmware is 1.10. Nice images on this lens. This is OEM Fujifilm. Came as a kit lens with my last X-E2. These lenses normally sell over this price on eBay. And new... fuggedaboutit!

equivalent to 80-90mm focal length (35mm aov) to avoid the "big nose" problem on head shots.

Old film rule.... never fails.

In fact, the best test is the "dog nose"...

Shoot six pictures, just head shots of a dog with a routine snout.... no pekinese, pugs, or bulls allowed for this test. Best are black Labrador, Golden Retriever, and German Shepard. A Greyhound is a bit too much snout.

shoot the six pics at varied focal distance. The one in which the dogs snout will look right at about 75-90mm equivalent.

The person who posted the best example here of this was the 6 panels with the girl, but harder to select the best looking nose. A dog will give a better testament to this rule.

I am going to credit Cholly and Lukan here with two very good posts about the reason different camera's using the same or similar sensors (Sony in this case) produce different results.

Olympus paired with Panasonic on the 4/3 consortium.

Oly first used a phenomenal Kodak sensor that rendered beautiful colors. The Oly went with Panasonic on sensors. I'm not sure if there was another sensor in the Olympus mix, but finally both Panasonic and Olympus went with the current Sony 16Mp sensor.

I use Oly... have since 1972, with a few others mixed in. I have had Oly digital with all the sensor variants. The first two were the E300 Evolt and E-1 with the same Kodak sensor... what great color rendering. Then I have had Oly's with the Panasonic, and Sony sensors.

It has been my experience that Olympus has always wrung a bit better color than Panasonic from the same sensors. So I have only had two Panasonics.

Why is this?... same sensors different output. Nikon uses Sony and often does not muster up to the results from a Sony sensor use in an Olympus, in terms of color rendering.

It's a software explanation in the camera. It's the Process Engine that processes what the sensor collects into the final data for the RAW or Jpeg file formats.

My personal observation is that Olympus has the best process engine I have encountered in a number of digital cameras. Or at least I thought so until I purchased a Fujifilm S5 Pro with their Super CCD sensor, and their process engine. WOW... colors that amaze and a larger dynamic range than found in most of their competition.

That camera was profoundly designed for whites, highlights, weddings (where most of them found a home) and portrait use. No other digital ever came so close to rendering the colors found in Fujifilm Velvia 50 and 100....

Duh.. wonder why.

However, that camera was dropped by Fuji because of other limitations, but it did have a truly specific process engine for rendering great colors.

So, as Lukan and Cholly pointed out.... Process Engines.. version and date.

Olympus takes a lead in this area for pulling great information from the Sony sensor.

Sony has it in their power to overcome what Nikon can do with a Sony Sensor, in terms of what Sony does for their own Process Engines, AFTER they collect the "buttload" of money from the palette loads of Sensors they send to Nikon.

Sony may need to talk with Olympus about writing the software for the Process Engine.

Where is Panasonic in all this Process Engine talk. They don't use the Olympus process engine. They have their own. Personally, I think the Olympus Process Engine is better. (Opinion) Personal likes and dislikes enter in here.

The new Panasonic GX7, with IBIS added, is designed to compete with the EM-1, but rest assured, the results from the same sensor will be different. You may like one over the other... your choice.

I am only happy that I am using Olympus, and yet still have the opportunity to use ALL the great Zuiko, M.Zuiko lenses from Olympus, as well as all the great Lumix (leica) lenses from Panasonic... Primes and Zooms.

Olympus/Panasonic have a greater native lens stable than any other mirrorless system.

Since the implosion of film/Kodak and the like, electronic camera designers/producers have blossomed in a geometric fashion. At the moment, within the same price ranges, what company does the average professional or advanced hobby photographer perceive as the best value given a choice of only two - Canon or Nikon?


Fortunately, there are far more than two choices. If Canon and Nikon were the only contenders, the market would languish.

It's the competition from a broad market of manufacturer's that keep Canon and Nikon on their toes. It's certainly not the competition of the two against each other.

Take this for an example:

In spite of a growing market in "mirrorless" camera's, neither Canon or Nikon can bring a real "mirrorless" competitor to that market. Their mirrorless offerings have little value, and the used prices for their mirrorless products certainly demonstrate that point.

The camera's nipping at CaNikon heels drive them to refine and evolve their products. The money they spend on marketing must eclipse what the other contenders spend. That alone is a large part of their product prices.

Sony (who provides Nikons sensors... Nikons first partner in sensors was Kodak) is fast on their heels and in some cases providing a better Sony product at Nikon's expense. The income from this collaboration with Nikon is helping Sony compete in "Nikons Playpen". This is evidence by the number of pros switching to Sony.

If you are truly a "wannabe" professional, you are being bypassed by not looking at Sony.

Then there are the other "right on the heels, and sometimes surpassing" CaNikon offerings.....

Olympus
Pentax
Fujifilm
and more.

Primarily in the mirrorless market, which again, Professional Photogs are starting to pick up and use.

Your world is fraught with blinders if you are ONLY interested in what CaNikon is doing. They are losing their shirts in some markets, and while they are recognized market leaders, one might ask... "Yes, but is that from name recognition, or from a significant lead in product and image quality?"

Take for instance, the improvement in three of Nikon's camera's... the D800E, the D7100, and the D5300 by increasing sharpness from the camera with the removal of the AA filters. This move comes as pressure from Olympus, Pentax and Sony on starting to weed the AA filters out of their camera's, as much as three years ago in Olympus' case.

And where is Canon on this new move which should have been done a long time ago. Nowhere to be found. No talk at all of taking out the Low Pass AA filters.

Could it be that Canon has not addressed the sensor specifications that allow, or favor, "moire patterns". I bring this up since they are having such large problems with "moire" on the video of their low priced full frame sensor... the Canon 6D?????

The suggested Canon for no problems with Video is the D5 MkIII, over the 6D. While the 6D is getting great reviews for it's still images, I would never buy a 6D. Last thing I want to do is sell a camera with a feature that never cut the mark, no matter how good the still images may be.

Some will surely take Canon's side by mentioning that Canon will fix the Video problem in "firmware".

Remember this about "firmware". It's not attractive as truly designing the product right in the first place. It's an indication of a company rushing a product to market before the design is completed. "Firmware" fixes are a "wing and a prayer". You buy, betting on the come, and what if it doesn't happen. You have a flawed product to get rid of. Thank god for unsuspicious "Wannabe's" in the used market.

Oh, yeah, it's a wonderful car, but they did not build the Air Conditioning right, and it's reputed to not work properly on all cars of that model.....Hmmmmph.

Who knows.

Canon and Nikon the only players worth a look???. I doooon't thiiiink soooo!!!!!
