. 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:)

You replied to a topic that is eight years old The OP is long gone.

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

[quote=isokc] I'm interested in knowing what strategies people use to increase the safety of buying from each other through this forum's classified section. Are there ways to help minimize the risk of fraud (that sounds so harsh)? I'd

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.

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?

To offer another perspective to OP: if you are weight sensitive remember as pointed out, the 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8 lenses are heavy. I had a 24-70 f2.8 and sold it because I didn't feel like I got the benefit of this zoom for the weight I had to carry vs. a 50mm f1.4 and a 28mm f2.8. I also opted for the 70-200 f4. I do not doubt that the 2.8 zooms so often mentioned by Hoggers are both good glass. I just didn't feel like the return was worth the burden. Buy a used example so if you decide it's not for you, selling it will cost less than doing so with a new lens. Plus remember the D850, while a marvelous camera is also substantial.
I have an outing planned where I want the resolution of the D850 for a large print. I plan to carry a 20mmf2.8, 28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.4 and an 85mm f1.8. Without picking nits on the total weight, these 4 lenses are not much more than a 1st class 24-70 f2.8 and after this particular outing, I'm not carrying the weight of the 24-70 all the time. PS I do have a 24-120 f4 when I want the flexibility). Just my perspective and my own desires. Everyone has to decide what they want to accomplish and what the cost (weight and $$) will be.

Yeah, If I get a long lens it would be a fixed lens and not a zoom. It seems to me when I need long focal length it's simply as long as I can get it. There is no need to zoom back.


Not to argue, but a counterpoint from my use when my camera location is fixed then I use the zoom (200-500) to frame the shot.

Man, these folks are spending a huge amount of money on ads! You can hardly watch TV without one of their ads coming up in just about every break and I get at least 20 to 30 e-mail ads a week as well. Now they have even re-branded the product to pull in male customers by calling it "Mando." Personally, I would rather stink than buy this product due to all the annoying ads! Just wondering if anyone else here is sick of hearing about it as well and needed to vent a bit. Good luck and good photography to all.

Glad to join you in this rant. I find the ads obnoxious. I joke when they start, "Hey is that the woman with crotch rot?"
