  1. If you find humming distracting, OIS lenses are not for you.
  2. In short, no. I used to keep my Canon 1-series cameras on CL all the time, and that was the most comfortable modus operandi. On Nikon it was not so comfortable… and on Fuji it's nearly impossible to consistently shoot just 1 frame on CL. Height of the button has very little to do with it, it's a combination of overall travel and force needed to break that last resistance. Canon got it nailed, Nikon got close (but no cigar), Fuji is… well, mushy.
  3. Keep calm and run for the Canadian border.
  4. This needs an illustration. Exhibit A: "Japanese manager is about to give a gentle nudge to subsidiary representative for losing face and honor"
  5. …Which is nowhere to be found on a roadmap. (I need to make a TextExpander shortcut for that phrase)
  6. I would advise against using CA anywhere near the camera ports. However, a strip of glass or carbon cloth soaked in a good epoxy might be just what doctor ordered. Just cover the ports with masking tape and lightly grease the outer edges on camera side (don't forget to remove the grease later, before peeling the masking tape).
  7. It's a backup solution, not storage. They're all very slow and supposed to work as a background process with 24/7 connectivity.
  8. A-a-and… My port side (in both nautical and technical terms) door just started bulging. Guess it's a camera, not the user after all.
  9. There's only one cheap and secure raw-compatible solution with unlimited space, it's called /dev/null
  10. After a five year long hiatus in Eastern Europe, I will be moving back to ATL in early October. Any Fuji users in the area interested in a meetup?
  11. How many AF lenses you had in the 70s? How many rolls of film that was capable of producing 300+ frames you had in the late 90s? We're shooting too much.
  12. Any C1 (Canon thin jack) timer remote will do the trick. I use this one.
  13. Since you mentioned microscope, I assume that you have one. I'd recommend getting some forensic lifting tape (like this one), carefully shaking and/or blowing your sensor over exposed sticky side of it, then putting it under microscope. What looks metallic aren't necessarily metal.
  14. Nothing Happens Unless First A Dream by Trenton Talbot, on Flickr
  15. There's no waxing with any RAW converters I used, including LR, ID, C1 and Silkypix. No Image Intelligence either.
  16. How 'bout B&W? http://yadi.sk/d/0NkDMdwCKCmkG (don't worry, it's a Russian cloud storage service, not a virus repository))
  17. You shouldn't use Galilean viewfinders for precise framing. HVF is great for its ability to see more than 100% of the frame and zero lag. If you don't want to crop in post, use EVF.
