Yep, both will be used, but the 28mm will probably yield the higher mag ratio. I'm just grateful to be able to use them again. Not sure if I'll be able to select the aperture, as the selector tab is now up front. Might have to figure out a hack for it. Maybe a shim or something. Also looking at a pretty cool focusing rail from newer, for focus stacking.
I put a slender Zip tie on my ap ring now I can feel the buckle to find the ring and position it, so many clicks to f/8, etc.

Look in the menu for the "steady shot w/ shutter" option. It is seperate from the steady shot on/ off selection. Make sure that is turned on.
On my A77ii, it is under the gear icon. Just an FYI, I found having it turned on reduced the sharpness slightly on some longer lenses. I have a much higher keeper rate with it off. It's something about the steady shot system making last moment adjustments and moving the sensor slightly.

I've noticed that my telephoto shots are soft if IS is ON with high shutter speeds. Much better result if it is OFF when over 1/500th shutter spped is used.

I've had similar results with 60D and 7Dii and 400... (show quote)
IS referred to is with my 300mm f4L. 400/5.6L has no IS.

Just trying BIF. Any help would be appreciated. Canon 80D with 100-400L lens.
I've had similar results with 60D and 7Dii and 400mm f/5.6L. Significant improvement was achieved when I made sure IS was OFF (recommended at 1/640th and up ) Also, when I "snap" a shot as you did the quick push on the shutter button doesn't give the camera enough split seconds to grab sharp focus, I get "almost there" focus instead. So, I now use 1/2000 or more, f'6.3 is fine, IS= OFF, squeeze the button. Practice on everything that moves quickly. Get some weird expressions from drivers when shooting highway traffic LOL!

Download the free Adobe DNG converter: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adobe-dng-converter.html
Convert your Lumix raw files to DNG and LR 5.7 will open them.

Send them raw files if they want, but only of the shots you are proud of or think they would have bought had you been charging. When you do a wedding for pay, you can still send the raw (only the good ones) but charge them for what you were going to charge for finished pictures. Finishing the photos and selling them a package is where most of the money is made on a wedding.

Right on! Few folks realize how many photos are "throw aways" to get a few good ones. Our local newspaper advertised for those interested to come to their Photographic Department to choose a pic for an 8x10 enlargement (if desired) of a sailboat race their photographer covered. I did that and was amazed to find that there might only be 1 in a 36 exp. roll that was acceptable! This seemed to speak to his unlimited film supply versus my limited supply. Also I once read an article in Nat. Geo. that pointed out they typically take 25-30K photos and edit them to 20-30 photos for an article! Only send em your best!Oct 24, 2020 11:58:11 #

Although the DOF is very shallow you have submitted a great photo of the chironomid. Well done.
The narrative was excellent too.

Love midges and their plumes! Difficult to capture a good pic. They spook easily so a longer focal length lens is helpful. I use the Raynox 250 on a 150mm trying for success. Patience and practice, practice I tell myself.
