      The 50 Lux focus speed has been improved significantly with subsequent lens firmware updates following release. Is it bigger than the 50 APO-Summicron? Absolutely, but the Lux offers a truly unique rendering among SL lenses.

    How can I upload the original RAW file from Lightroom Classic into my Adobe Cloud? I am only able to upload smart previews and always need to go through Lightroom CC wich is more work. I use the Adobe cloud as my main storage for the raw files.

    Hi. I'm new too. I just bought a Q and an SL in used/like new condition. Using vintage Canon FD glass – also with a Novoflex – on my SL. And the answer is ‘no.' Vintage lenses don't transmit any data. The Novoflex is the best adapter I've used. Rock solid. Vintage glass isn't for everyone. But I love the look. I find modern lenses too sharp.

    Hi there. I am looking for all possible information about the polls. I need to write an essay on different types of plagiarism. Through a survey, I want to know what type of plagiarism is most common today. You need to find an effective platform on which to conduct such a survey.

    I will be grateful for any recommendations.
