Be Straight And Honest.
Heute Abend das 41. FolyFos. Vor über drei Jahren haben wir mit der Nummer angefangen. Dies ist also das vierte Weihnachts-FolyFos…. Den Link zum FolyFos gibt’s wieder nicht hier, sondern hier: https://oly-e.de/gruppen/folyfos-stammtisch/forum/topic/41-folyfos-22-12-2023 Und damit man das kucken kann, braucht man einen Account bei oly-e und muss sich in der Gruppe angemeldet haben.

The Nisi is a block. And of all the wide-angle lenses I’ve been lugging around over the last month, it’s the slowest. And with 2.8 you can’t expect much bokeh: Focusing distance 20cm – quite good, but the 7.5 mm Laowa goes up to 12cm. Right in the center of the image […]
I’ve already reported here about my WD NAS – which was suddenly nauseous. And quite rightly, some commentators have pointed out that operating temperatures of 53°C are not the yellow of the egg. The WD NAS are pretty simple in design. The disks hang vertically and the device relies on the chimney […]
In a comment, I once again came across “iMatch”, an image management program that is made in Germany and has been in development for several decades. I tried out the program four years ago and put it aside relatively quickly. This time I let the program loose on 8TB images – just […]
Der dritte Advent ist rum, und vor dem vierten Advent haben wir tatsächlich noch ein FolyFos – das letzte des Jahres, denn “zwischen den Jahren” hat der Stammtisch Pause. Es geht natürlich um Plätzchen. Und ein paar interessante Fremdprodukte. Und die neuesten Gerüchte. Und vielleicht sogar ein Fotothema. Interview haben wir diesmal […]
I’ve already played with the Ricoh WG-6 in Salzburg and if I said I was happy with the results, that would be a strict lie. But I saw some decent photos from the WG-6 at dpreview and wanted to know if I’m just too stupid to take photos…. So I’m off to […]
Your data is safe there! Anyone who still believes this nonsense is really beyond help. Because of course the cloud operator can access everything. And as OVH has demonstrated, cloud servers and their backups are completely fail-safe. Now Capture One has gone one better. They have discontinued support for “Capture One Express”. […]
I had the WG-6 in my hand for the first time a few weeks ago at the Ringfotomesse and thought to myself – Hey, this thing can do almost everything like the TG-6 and has 21MP. And costs 200 euros less. I have to try it out. Two days ago, I took […]
The spectral color filter was probably modern in the last millennium. I got hold of one about 15 years ago at Heliopan and haven’t seen one since. In a price list from 2012 at Heliopan, it was supposedly still in stock. It doesn’t make the usual star around light sources, as a […]
Writing big news about the seven-and-a-half Laowa is probably no longer possible. The biggest problem with it is that at f/2 it requires focusing with magnification. If you do this, you will be rewarded with crisp images. If I had rejects, it was because I thought I could save myself the trouble. […]
Ted has been working at Olympus since 2010, to be precise, and takes photos on the side. Professionally, at least that’s what he says on his website “Hire me!” It’s a bit silly that in a “making of” photo shoot on Independence Day, he not only shows slippers in camouflage and a […]
There is often the problem that “commercial photographers” are only allowed to take photos in some areas with a paid permit. In what are actually public parks, but which are the “private property” of a state institution. In Binz on the island of Rügen, they have now come up with a cool […]
