    I showed that tiny crop which is at the pixel peeping level to show what could be squeezed out of the R7. Here is the uncropped image...

    I know a lot of scientists. Most will report findings that disagree with their predictions. Some will not report them (in part, that's...

    I will get duly excited I promise.... when there will be a solid rumor with an announcement date 🤘

    For the lens in question with a 19.96 mm image height, we are discussing ~1.5% of the resulting image, and that ~1.5% is in the extreme...

    Thanks, Alan – that is the correct explanation! The light of an image circle falling on a sensor would still be quantized into discrete...

    You're more relaxed than me! I had to change my underwear yesterday when I saw about the 14mm and now today. Sometimes I envy those...

    They could be inflatable similar to an airplane life preserver, but filled with hydrogen! A clumsy person could drop it , but it's...

    Riiight (in my best fake BBC English) Where is the "L" in my nickname coming from? :ROFLMAO: How can I be quick at replying to a new...

    After I saw the note, I looked as well. This is the only spot I found suggesting it - https://youtu.be/FXWhtUFT9GM?si=x7_bZ4gK9wCtpXKi

    Then buy the RF 35/1.4L VCM.

    I'd rather have a f/1.4 lens that is smaller, lighter and cheaper.

    The benefit of BSI decreases with increasing pixel size. Below 2 µm it’s evident, above about 4 µm it’s minimal to none. The driver...

    What about pneumatically or hydraulically in- and -deflatable lenses? I'm sure he has already developed them in his secret laboratory...

    What they need is something like SA on the RF macro, but it changes how the image is corrected while increasing or decreasing the mass...

    I don't know enough scientists to know, but I do know one thing - many scientists with bias towards an outcome will report findings that...

    My experience is that to judge the AI output you need to have a certain level of knowledge to start with - which is why I posted the...

    Can you include the equations as screen grabs? There should be other methods, eg calculating the size of the rectangles and then doing...

    Always show your working is what they say in exams - which is why I screen grabbed the equations.

    Possibly. We're being asked to accept that 19.96 is ok. Why is that number ok and not some other number? Where is the limit on what's...

    My experience of using the R7 extensively for a couple of years is that I can go up far higher than the iso 2000 that you concluded...

    I usually guess and call it an L or not. sometimes you can gather the intent and if Canon would slap the L onto the lens, and sometimes...

    Back-side illumination has been the only architectural improvement to imager sensitivity since gapless microlenses.
