That one you won't regret, you have my word.

One would think so. The way to approach this would be to check their documentation on the matter very carefully, exact wording including any caveats Then get yourself a subscription to Which online - around a tenner a month, something stupid like a quid for the first month - and make use of...

Yes, Brazo, the LAE4 uses a semi reflecting mirror, drops a third.

The review I was referring to was at slrgear.com and it was scathing but checking out comparisons at dxomark there's not a lot to choose between the two and both perform better there than the Canon 24-70 2.8 1. That's a win for me coming from Canon. I'd have liked to have seen it on dpreview as...

So while I'm here ... I had in my head that I'd be picking up an f4 24-70mm for this camera. F4 always bothered me and I've just read a couple of reviews of the lens which aren't great, particularly sharpness and edge fall-off, so I'm starting to look at the A-Mount 24-70 f2.8, which is a far...

A7R :-)

Me, a Canon 5D MkIII. I bought the A7R with the 50mm 1.8 as a carry around because it looked better than the X-Pro1 that I was using. I liked it so much I'm selling my Canon gear and replacing it with a second body and a couple more lenses. Likes: small, light, quick to work with, excellent in...

Gimp wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Photoshelter, smugmug, zenfolio.

Getting to know how colour correction and balance work, generally as well as specifically, would help you a lot here. Presets are great but you don't learn much by using them and as you've seen already, the result you get can be quite shot specific. Better to just noodle around with some...

Personally I use single point focussing to focus on whatever I'm interested in then reframe and take the shot. You can set the camera up so the focus is removed from the half press on the shutter button onto the afl button on he back. I've never understood this thing about manual focus. Back in...

I can't see how you can make that judgement. Unless someone specifically tells you how they took a shot you couldn't tell.

I never said it was, not once. Let me be clear, I never tell anyone how they should make their pictures.

I don't see it as a problem, I see it as adjustment that's just a part of the process. The point I was trying to make was why this obsession with bang on exposure in camera when it's often just as easy, just as quick to adjust in post and when it makes absolutely no difference to the finished...

No, you can't, it's not there, what you see, or rather what you don't see, is what you get. You can, if you like, pull up some detail from the low end bits but you will, without any doubt, get noise and banding if you push it to any useful degree. It is possible to mess with contrast to some...
