Re: More K-3 BIF: more noise, but more detail

It's also unlikely that a camera company will release a new level of camera without accompanying lenses, because lenses is where the greater profit lies, not in the camera, especially since I don't think Ricoh can put out a FF at $4,000 and expect anyone to buy it. Cheers, --M. Boris Liber

Based on theoretical assumptions alone, I would imagine it's a lot easier to focus this lens on the K-01's live view, while at the same time the lack of an EVF makes holding the camera steady harder, thus making correct focus distance harder too. Do both of these cancel out, thus making this lens a

I have to agree with Boris here, manually focusing at f/1.2 through an OVF, even with a split prism screen, is extremely difficult, and even then there is practically zero tolerance for missplaced mirrors, screens or sensors. On the other hand, getting sharp pics with an EVF is child's play, even w

First Full Frame (digital) P&S: Sony RX1

E, guys? Why aren't we discussing this milestone? http://photorumors.com/2012/09/09/breaking-sony-rx1-the-first-full-frame-compact-camera/ http://photorumors.com/2012/09/09/sony-rx1-specifications/ Oh, I get it, we're all too busy discussing the exciting K-5 II and its new/better/improved 16M

Re: Cool astro photo opportunity

Larry, You might appreciate this photo: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120824.html I like that it clearly shows how much slower than the background stars (and, errr, planet) the Moon moves in the sky. Cheers, —M. \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com
