David,
The S can take waves better than your lights. Where are your lights placed?
As I have reported, I have had waves wash over my S2 multiple times while on a wave runner photographing sailboats up close. Absolutely no issue. But your lights must have been behind you where?

Kipper,
I suggest you offer to lead a Farkas experience called “Fashion Models” this November.
No, “Fun in the sun” sounds like a better title. Why November? Because we will have enough CS lenses by then.

Very good work Jackperk

This is the almost full view of the falls.

Josh,
Where is your shot of you with all the cameras again?

Very nice work, I hope others post too.

Jack

Very good news.

Ouch!
Very sorry to see your name attached to this post.

I believe that the fix is not as difficult as one would think. You send it back, they do a software fix and it's solved. Of course, that means sending it back.

I know there was a program someone did for M8 files that allowed you to accomplish it yourself, but of course on each…[Read more]

This photo gives a sense of the location and the feel of the place

RVB,
Yes .8 times 24 is indeed 19.2 not 18.6.
This was a test for Josh and David and either:
1. neither saw my error in reporting or
2. were too nice to think they should correct the error, or
3. starting to worry that I would want to return the lens to Solms to have them make it a 23.25 mm.
4. Too busy preparing for the Everglades…[Read more]

This is the full frame of the 24mm on top matched for size with the full frame of the 18mm of the WATE shown below the 24mm. Having the plane of the sensor nudge a half an inch or so in location may make more a difference than 18mm vs 18.6mm. While they were both on the same tripod sequentially, I was not as precise as I wanted to be. I used the…[Read more]

Thanks Richard,
I really don't foresee a need to merge 24mm shots. I took that as a record keeping shot of a location, and was curious how it would merge.

I shot this photo with the 24 to check on the distortion of the 24mm vs the 18mm of the WATE on the M9. The WATE is a zoom, so no surprise that the prime is superior.…[Read more]

I had said that I was tired of merging three 35mm shots to get to what the 24 gives me.
But the 24 gives me 88 degrees, not 180 degrees. Today I was trying to capture 180 degrees with three 24mm shots. This could work for landscapes, but with architecture it's a bit of a problem. If you want to see more detail of the steps, just…[Read more]

Nice.
Don't let her fall

This third shot shows the field of view of the 35mm superimposed over the full 24mm image.
I have also moved the field of view to the corner to show that the 24 gives more than twice the area than is captured by the 35mm.

I was doing some interior work with the 24mm and decided to compare it with my 35mm.

This first shot is the field of view with my 35mm lens, shot from the same tripod position as the second photo.

The second shot is the cropped result of using the 24mm at if it sere a shift lens.

Pete,
There was 25% sharpening applied, plus some exposure work in the previous images.

Here is an untouched out of camera shot, nothing applied. Followed by the cropped and spotted and sharpened and exposure adjusted, etc.

Here is the third photo cropped to final. It is a 48″ wide photo on paper.

OK Pete, here are the tripod shots at f11 or more.
Most full frame, unless I needed to slightly straighten. One is shown both before crop and after.
Leveling remains a challenge even with bubble levels. The S would help right?

The very edge of the corners seems ever so slightly a bit soft when pixel peeping. So it would be visible in 6…[Read more]

One more just for Josh who apparently likes car photos. 96% full frame, f6.8
