By David Kilpatrick, on August 27th, 2010 Sometimes earlier this year, early Spring I think, I had a vivid and detailed dream during a slow waking-up hour. It was the kind of dream which feels rational not random. I knew what I was doing in it – in control!
This time, I described the dream to my wife and son; he knows . . . → Read More: A dream of the future – and past

By David Kilpatrick, on August 24th, 2010 It’s a funny word to use, because the mirrors involved are transparent and not translucent (which implies passing light but not in an image-forming manner).

By David Kilpatrick, on August 19th, 2010 Before the launch of the NEX models, the last camera we reviewed here was the Alpha 550. The final review pages dealt with the high ISO performance.

By David Kilpatrick, on August 16th, 2010 I have made a simple (f/2.8 and f/8 chart set) Adobe Lens Profile for the 16mm f/2.8 NEX E-series pancake lens. It seems to work well for closer distances, because that’s how it had to be made; CA is reasonably well corrected, vignetting is eliminated, and distortion of closer lines – maybe if you are . . . → Read More: Adobe Lens Profile for 16mm f/2.8 NEX
