Bryan Peterson vs. Diffraction
burkphoto wrote:
It depends on the context... my favorite answer for all of photography and life.

The smaller the sensor, the worse the diffraction at wider apertures.

If you are looking for it and comparing images of the same subject taken at the same time at different apertures:

Based on 20 to 25 MP sensors, diffraction annoyance starts:

> Around f/8 on Micro 4/3.
> Around f/11 on APS-C.
> Around f/16 on full frame.
> Around f/22 on medium format digital.

When I photograph with my film camera {I guess that should count as ‘full frame}, I tend to use F/16 and don’t notice ‘a problem’

I have every camera that I have purchased since 1970. It's well over forty cameras and more than 50 lenses.

Recently, I’ve trashed the ones that don’t work and sold most of the ones that do work.

Onboard flash question with Nikon Z8

I’m reading it and now I understand what you meant. Why should I be embarrassed? I didn’t understand your reply. You clarified it and I’m supposed to be embarrassed about that? It seems to me it’s called communication.

Amateurs pose for a camera. The type of person of interest have ‘radar’ that causes them to either avoid a camera or seek it. [unwatch]

we both had the same question. LOL. Glad it’s not just me.

Yeah, you should both be embarrassed that I answered.

Huh? what does that mean? Please explain.

A professional photographs people {like politicians} who almost always want to be photographed - except when they are somewhere or doing something that will cause embarassment.

Onboard flash question with Nikon Z8

Huh? Ever see a professional event photographer NOT use flash indoors in a poorly lit room?

Professionals are often after ‘shot hogs’; as an amateur, I want people to act naturally.

Interesting. I haven't used a flash with mine yet.

I’m not sure why he was using flash in any case. My Pentax gracefully handles high ISO values, so I can normally use ambient light, and avoid calling attention to the camera, as flash tends to do.

Myrtle Beach SC

My wife and I are planning a trip to Myrtle Beach to visit relatives this Christmas. I have visited Brookgreen Gardens in the past and plan on going again. While there, are there any other sites that are worth visiting? I will be bringing my new (to me) Canon 80D and most likely an 18-135mm zoom.

Thanks in advance,

I’m not sure about the weather at this time of year, but when I think of South Carolina, I think of Ft Sumpter. The boat ride out there alone was worth the fee {but we went in summer}.

Buying from a Foreign Country
When I was a grad student, I made a trip to Yugoslavia paid for in Yugoslavian dinars that the Ford Foundation had collected somehow. I ‘brought home’ my pay in merchandise, including a Canon QL19 rangefinder camera. I never calculated what the camera would have cost me at home, because the dinars had little value home. When I filled out the customs form, I was questioned about whether it was fixed focus - no explanation about that affected custom rate, which was small in any case.

When, Where and how you started in photography
My parents gave me a basic Kodak box camera {I believe they had gotten it for n Kelloggs box tops} in the mid 1950’s when I was 8. By the time I was in high school, they had given me a Kodak Instamatic 100 and the Kodak “Duaflex” my Dad had used to photograph me {I accidentally left it behind in one of our moves}. When I graduated from college, I used college graduation money to purchase a Yashica Minister III. Then in 1979 I purchased a SLR, and have used (D)SLR’s ever since.

It's all good, keep 'em for nostalgia, collection purposes, or sell what you don't use anymore, and use the funds for whatever new interests that you want to get into. After all has been said and done, it's a free country (somewhat), enjoy yourself.

I have a Pentax “Super Program” I purchased in 1983 that I still use B&W film with - lots of fun {that was the reason for purchasing it in the first place}.

I have a couple rolls of film, don't remember where I got them; Signature Color, 20exp 400 35mm Professional Color Film, 5311 Fleming Court, Austin, Tx, DX process ECH II. My local lab says they cain't process it. Any suggestions.


It’s unfortunate you didn’t process them promptly. I believe I went thru several rolls of that film at one time; the slides are still fine I believe. I’m not very good at identifying old film, so I’m not sure which negatives are them, but I don’t recall any problems with scanning either old negatives or old slides {I did both}.

So its gifting season, and some of us will also generously gift ourself as well. In many such cases the arrival of a new whizbang machine should spell adios for some seldom used relic that we havent yet kicked to the curb ... "out of kindness I suppose".

Fess up ! Whats your still functional but quite neglected old relic that has just hung around thru benign neglect or chronic procrastination.

I can fess up to six SLRs and a Pocket Zoom, some of them never having seen regular use at all and retired before their first birthday :-(

Okaaay Hawgz ! Step right up and Fess Up ! Itz good for the soul and good for the biome. Time to cleanse your soul and spill your gutz.

“Six SLRs”? I purchased my most recent DSLR five years ago!! Before that, I had two fail and get dumped. Before that was compact camera I gave my daughter because she had broken hers. I’d have to go back into my Film Era to find a sixth camera.

Wat's in your camera bag?

Do you carry any lights or light modifiers?

Occasionally I carry a flash, but my cameras handle higher ISO values so well, that usually ambient light is fine.
