    Really Random Shootout - Fuji 18-55mm f/2.8-4 and Fuji X-E1 vs Zeiss ZM 35mm f/2.0 Biogon and Leica

    +1 But really ~ the Fuji's obviously a nice lens, but, when you put it up against the Leica? The Fuji couldn't even resolve the pigeon at the bottom of the right edge in the Leica frame! OTOH, do you think it might have been the Zeiss glass on the Leica? :rolleyes: Irenaeus

    Ricoh Mercedes 1, Ricoh 0...

    So upsetting!.... OTOH, you could try using it blind, with no chimping possible, as some people say they'd prefer to work. With all those refractions and light leaks you could give Lomography a run for its money! It could even be the start of a whole new cottage industry and I could...

    Completed Ricoh GXR 28/50mm Modules + 2 EVF's + Cable Release

    Might you be interested in selling one of the viewfinders separately? If so, what would you need to get for it? Hope Ruby's surgery goes well. All the best, Irenaeus

    Fuji Did I mention I love the X10 ?

    Amin ~ I remember that the LC1 or Digilux 2 were once your favorite cameras. The x10 has a 2/3 sensor, which, if memory serves, is the same size as those older siblings. I've got an LC1 and would be extremely interested in any comments you might care to make comparing it with the x10. Thanks...

    How is Nik Silver Efex Pro better than Lightroom for B&W

    Thanks, Streetshooter, that answers my question perfectly. I'll go with the LR version. All the best ~ and a thankful Thanksgiving to us all!

    How is Nik Silver Efex Pro better than Lightroom for B&W

    I'm sold on the pictures I've seen processed with Silver Efex in B/W; my question amplifies this one. I do have Photoshop cs5 and Lightroom 3 (though I've not yet installed them on my new refurbished Mac Pro.) is the extra cost worth it to buy the Complete Edition for Photoshop, Aperture and...

    The Poet as Photographer ~ and vice versa!

    Great stuff, stratocaster ~ what a wonderful way to spend your youthful hours! Just to find that out would have been well worth the (admittedly miniscule) effort of starting this thread! Here's another thought from me, and in haiku's 17 syllables, though after the poetry you have shared...

    The Poet as Photographer ~ and vice versa!

    thanks to each and every one! these are great answers ~ cummins and yeats were old friends, and frost I knew, of course. i'd never seen that poem by herman hesse, however, though i loved reading his siddharta many years ago and this particular piece rings a certain resonance in my own life...

    The Poet as Photographer ~ and vice versa!

    Here's a question for you: what camera or cameras would our best poets use? Emily Dickinson, for instance, who wrote: To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few. Here's another: If mulling over this question...

    Ricoh GXR - A Lonely Path

    A beautiful picture that both draws one in and leads one out! My eye comes in the partially open gate to the brighter leaves and then out into the welcoming distance. My first moving into it was very dynamic ~ scintillating, even, with the curve of the gate drawing down to the left, only to rise...

    Ricoh Upgrading Ricoh GXR firmware

    Thanks, BB, for the clear procedure. As it happens, firmware version 1.37 was released before I was able to do anything and I didn't have to do it twice. I did cut to the chase after getting the firmware files onto the SD card, though. I'd tried to figure out each step once before and...

    SIJ31 ~ giving back

    Nancy was part of that icon workshop at our parish I shared a photo from on the 26th. This is her first. In light of our a small discussion after the workshop picture, Bill, it interested me a lot to hear a spontaneous observation from one of the other beginning iconographers. They had...

    Anyone want to join in another challenge - "The Single in...."?

    Not me this time ~ I learned a lot about the GXR, though there's more to absorb, and I learned that figuring out the x100 was too much for me at the present time, in spite of its many wonderful qualities. I'll be watching closely what Fuji does with the next one (and appreciating what you all do...

    This is a remarkable juxtaposition of one of the ungainliest of animals with one of the most graceful of airplanes, isn't it? I like it. I've never been to Glasgow, though my name is from the Lowlands, but I'd like to visit sometime. (I am, however, an Honorary Glaswegian, so declared by a...

    Hunhh. You're just full of insights, aren't you? I knew I liked it, and I do like lots of IR photos, but I hadn't noticed that, myself...wonder if the GXR is more sensitive to IR? Cheers!

    Comment by 'Irenaeus' in media 'SIJ26 ~ icon workshop'

    Yeah, I see what you mean. It seems to be the way this teacher works, though, in order to get each student to have a finished work by the end of a single week. There is a definite procedure that's normally followed, though, and it's apparently different from what students might normally expect...

    Comment by 'Irenaeus' in media 'SIJ23 ~ Zach: Roofer, Friend, Orthodox Godson'

    You're a good judge of character and ability, Bill ~ he's very capable indeed! As for the focus, it was a quick pull to the eye and I was delighted to get it this close to focus. As you say, something of the man shows through and, if it has to be an "either/or," I'm happy with the way it turned out.

    SIJ26 ~ icon workshop

    Icons are an important and integral element in Eastern Orthodox theology and worship, as they underscore that "God made matter capable of bearing spirit." It's one of the things that attracted me from the beginning, as art has been so central to being human for so very long that I...

    We live in a place just outside of Billings, Montana, USA that's a bit vulnerable to wildfires. (We've been evacuated three times.) When lots and lots of shingles started blowing off the roof of our house, we knew we had to do something fairly soon. Zach helped us find a metal roof (which...

    We lost the right side rub strips in a museum parking lot recently. Nobody 'fessed up and we're looking at the equivalent of a second body for the GXR to fix it! And yours looks even more "Ouchish!" than that!!!
