    Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro on Nikon Z?

    It may well be. I just saw the original Panasonic press release making these claims Notably the breathing can manifest differently at infinity - 1m and the macro range. My Sigma 70mm is atrocious at macro, but while not perfect significantly betters 100mm macro and crucially 70-200mm f/4 IS...

    Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro on Nikon Z?

    If you were looking for one good reason I believe Panasonic one was marketed as free from focus breathing. That's a huge one, while personally working distance is not as important (static subjects all the way) My canon and sigma ones breathe a lot, and stacking is therefore nightmare...

    Is this typical lightroom performance for other people and how do i make it better

    Their Mac would crash if they attempted any work such as this. Some people have taken less images in a year than we do in half a day

    Do graphics cards really help Lightroom or just increase the energy bill?

    They do help, and no they don't increase your bills much at all if they don't do heavy work Desktop uses a lot more power by default than laptop. If that's a concern perhaps best to go with highest model of MacBook but that will put your expenses up considerably upfront and you will still need...

    Puffin survival and Brexit

    The whole thing was done extremely badly whether you were for or against it. You bet it works ££££££ for someone who was running the show at a time

    Is this typical lightroom performance for other people and how do i make it better

    Also I bet it is using no more than 4 CPU cores at a time, so really pointless upgrading that, other than maybe a monster gpu

    Is this typical lightroom performance for other people and how do i make it better

    For starters try not scroll but just click around the middle of the sequence and if happy just take that. Failing that try next one or two and most the time it will do. When you are importing don't use any auto settings and ideally have lens profile disabled as this adds the most processing...

    Is the 'entry' level IMac suitable for photo editing

    I really struggled with 32gb ram and find 16gb laptop nearly unworkable. Perhaps I push things beyond what many are doing here but at end of the day you are not opening 10 50mp layers or working with 3m long posters on a system with compromised ram capacity. A 24" glossy screen with colourful...

    Canon R1 announced (sort of)

    You can bet it will be £10k, and no better than z9 or Sony and nobody will buy one. That will be funny

    Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro on Nikon Z?

    The width is the problem, so unfortunately no

    Tamron 35mm f1.4 SP Discontinued

    It doesn't make much sense to keep producing these for a dead end format. It doesn't make existing copies any worse. This is a really good one that should serve for years to come. I am actually surprised tamron doesn't have any equivalents in e or z mounts, just budget zooms and mega zooms...

    Massive aurora alert for tonight!

    I was in Malvern which is by all accounts in the southern half of the UK and it was in ALL directions. to begin with, including SOUTH, but then we lost the south part.

    Massive aurora alert for tonight!

    I saw a similar comment from someone in the far north of presumably US on a different site. The sun hardly sets in the highest latitudes these days.
