    Sony Showcase Tamron 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD FE-mount showcase

    Sorry to hear, Brownie. That's a bummer. I've had both good and bad experiences with MPB. Mostly good, but the bad was so bad; I definitely keep all the "receipts" whenever I transact with them. I received a used copy of the 28-200 a few days ago myself, though purchased through a different...

    I was able to pick up a used one, as well, for the same price on Monday. Should be here this weekend and I, too, am looking forward to it, especially for an upcoming trip to the great white north. Enjoy!

    Sony Showcase Tamron 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD FE-mount showcase

    I, too, am considering the 28-200 for the extra reach it would provide over my 24-105. I have the Tamron 20-40 to cover the wide end, so no loss there. For those who have the 28-200, is the lack of optical stabilization a significant bummer? I have an a7c with IBIS, but its IBIS is nowhere near...

    B&W Landscapes in B&W

    Great shots, Dan. Quick question, the photo at the SmugMug link lists the focal length as "16.0 mm (16.0 mm in 35 mm)." Being that you shot with the 12-40, it seems like it should say "16.0 mm (32.0 mm in 35 mm)," since 16mm in 35mm terms isn't possible with that lens. Just confirming as I will...

    Advice Wanted Photoshop Borders

    Yes, one chooses canvas size as a part of the process. In fact, that particular step in the image is the canvas size. It actually kind of makes some sense to me that there wouldn't be a top border if I move the anchor to the top position, but since the example image still has a border, I wasn't...

    Advice Wanted Photoshop Borders

    No luck on the social interwebs, so thought I'd solicit the brain trust here. I often create a border around my images before I post to social media sites like Facebook.

    Lake Louise and Lake Moraine - Silly Question

    I had my Captain Obvious hat on but took it off in the hopes that if by some strange weirdness the crowd was noticeably thinner on Thursday than Friday. It's a bit of a stretch, I know. I can't go to Banff and not visit those lakes, but I've planned what I believe is a much less crowded...

    Hi Mark, We are visiting at peak - end of July. Parks Canada is no longer allowing personal vehicles to drive to Lake Moraine starting this year. The plan is for us to take the shuttle in and we have the choice between a Thursday or a Friday. I have a slight preference for Friday due to some...

    Lake Louise and Lake Moraine - Silly Question

    For any with the knowledge, I have a bit of a weak question. Weak in that it might really be neither here nor there. Anyway, when visiting Lakes Louise and Moraine, is there a significant enough of a difference in crowds between going on a Thursday versus a Friday (these are my only choices)...

    Hi @wildcatlaw2011. Welcome. Yes, I did end up returning the Df. Unfortunately, for the life of me I can't recall whether it was black or silver, but the body was in pristine condition.

    Ricoh Surprise! Ricoh GRIIIx (Showcase)

    I very much appreciate the info, Andrew. This is very helpful.

    Ricoh Surprise! Ricoh GRIIIx (Showcase)

    I wonder if perhaps Ricoh decided to slap the newly developed 40mm equivalent on (nearly) the same body to squeeze out as many sales as possible before moving on to a 28mm equivalent GR IV with tilting screen, then later the 40mm equivalent GR IVx also with tilting screen.
