Gotta learn to carry a longer lens even for casual walk-arounds
In article 15b7913a-8606-42e8-8985-2acfb5c1a895
@googlegroups.com, says... Only had a 14-54mm f/2.8 lens. Cropped. https://pbase.com/andersonrm/image/170639022 I always carry along a 75-300 lens just in case. It's quite lightweight and the optical quality is reasonable. -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Gotta learn to carry a longer lens even for casual walk-arounds
In article 1dd6038e-b4e5-43a2-9a33-
, says... I had the 75-300mm II and sold it, stupidly. I'm using the older 50-200mm 4/3rds lens, contemplating if I should spend $4000 Can on the new 300mm f/4.0. Why not the Panny 100-400? -- Alfred Molon Olympus 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras forum at https://groups.io/g/myolympus https://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

You never liked Adobe anything, and Lightroom is stand-alone. But it was some time ago. ....and you can’t even remember what that amazing software you once knew of is/was. -- Regards, Savageduck |

It's a one-off purchase at a much lower cost - no subscription required. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/ It's half price right now (GBP 24 for Mac/Windows, GBP 10 for iOS per program), and there's a 90-day free trial. (I recall you mentioned it some time back - thanks!) -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

(I recall you mentioned it some time back - thanks!) While Affinity Photo (AP) is a very capable piece of photo editing software it does not fully replace Photoshop, and it has zero capability as an asset management system. That means AP is not able to provide the FL analysis originally sought. So while it is software I will recommend for folks seeking to avoid the Adobe subscription model, for me I prefer the Lightroom/Photoshop workflow, and I will continue with my subscription. That said I have an up to date version of Affinity Photo on my iMac, and the Affinity Photo for iPad on my iPad Pro. Since I am a sucker for photo software I have also bought copies of Luminar, Capture One Pro, Exposure X5, On1 Photo RAW, Pixelmator, the DxO NIK Collection, and others, all of which supplement my Lightroom/Photoshop workflow. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Of course, you and I have different approaches regarding post-processing - I use it only when required, and shoot JPEG! I agree with your comments, but for me a simple date structure provides all the management I need. I do also use PIE (Picture Information Extractor) on Windows as a directory viewer and that provides sorting by focal length if needed. I guess I tend to prefer separate tools (GeoSetter, AutoPano Pro, and so on) each specialising in a particular function rather than a single do-it-all program. Pet annoyance: cameras which save photos with a LOCAL time yyyy-mm-dd filename - I want everything in UTC! -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |
