Camera and Lens tests

@robert3985  - your image isn't appearing for some reason.

It looks fine on this end.  Why would that be????   Hmmmm....

Okay...I went to Googlephoto, looked at "sharing options" and flipped the "share with anyone with the link" slider switch.  That should do the trick...

Cheerio!

Nope.

[tom mann]

Still can't see it.

Weird (Google problems?).  I saw it last night but now it is not showing up for me either.

[Chris333]

I can still see it 

[Cajonpassfan]

I can't, and never could. Wth?
Maybe someone can *describe* it for us.

UPDATE: I see the image ok at work but not at home (Same browser - Seamonkey).

Peter, that's weird....

Tom, Did you get the Sony DSC-RX1R II (with the tilt-screen and 42.4mp sensor) or the previous Sony RX1R (with the 24mp sensor)??

Probably the main reason you're not getting diffraction at f22 is the excellent Carl-Zeiss lens, which has superior anti-diffraction properties built into the design.

Cheerio!

I would have liked the II, but it isn't affordable yet (for me) ($3900 new and $2500+ used). I think at that price point I would get a Sony A7 II with the 35mm F2.8 lens (about 2k).  But again, I don't exclusively take photos of model trains, but if I did, I think that the Olympus might be the way to go.

So a longer model at more of an angle results in a little bit of blur at the rear  :

  Another thing full frame gets you is the ability to shorten the exposure time due to the fact that the sensor is absorbing more light. 

Nope, this is a fallacy.

[tom mann]

Nope, this is a fallacy.

In what way?  More surface area to absorb more light, right?

[peteski]

Nope, this is a fallacy.

Instead of just saying "false", some sort of a reference would have been nice.

Tom, maybe thinking of it in shorter exposure times isn't the best way to put it?

From what I (think I) know, full frame cameras can shoot with higher ISO settings (less noise) than crop sensors which make for a better low light photographs. I don't know if that also means you can reduce exposure time to get that better picture.
