    Canon FD 50mm f/1.2 L

    Haven't done any real shooting with it since picking up the a7rii. Just some snapshots around the house. This is a straight dxo conversion. I would mask out the purple ear fringing but I want to show it straight up. I am going to have some fun with the closet lenses I haven't used in decades. I...

    Quick and Dirty AFMA

    I am sure I am not the first to do this but I don't recall reading it elsewhere. A quick and easy way to check and adjust your afma is: put the camera on a tripod or on a table and focus on a target using live view (make sure to turn off "enable continuous focusing" in the live view options)...

    dof calculator ff vs crop

    Here is a link to an online dof calculator http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html I understand that as focal length increases, dof decreases and as subject distance decreases then dof decreases. If you use the online calculator it will show less dof at a given distance and fl using a crop sensor...

    I've made a few post here so I get ae-1 next to my name, made me think I should bust my ae-1 program out of the closet! Then I thought about how 15 or so years ago we were amazed to be able to just take a picture and look at it on the computer. Look where we are now, its an incredible...

    decisive moment

    When I started out I never had a motor drive so I always had to try and anticipate the decisive moment. I still shoot that way but I suppose I am not taking advantage of what the modern camera can do. I guess if I was shooting for a living I would feel obligated to shoot a sequence to deliver...
