It's about end-user freedom, not developer freedom. It prevents the developer from limiting others' freedoms later. If upstream uses a permissive license, then a developer can build on it without giving back to the open source par

When you have straight-edged aperture blades, the diffraction pattern creates spikes on the point spread function of the lens, and this can be predicted by just taking the Fourier transform of the aperture shape.

* Price: one shutter for many lenses versus one shutter in each lens. * Range of shutter speeds: leaf shutters on large lenses struggle to get to 1/1000 of a second. They can do 1/2000 on digital sensors by electronically beginnin

For that you can use Rapid Photo Downloader. Or if you want something more integrated, my editor Filmulator has that, though it's far from being feature complete...

It's like Matlab or SciPy in terms of how easy it is to set up a quick script, but far more performant. The syntax is fairly similar to Matlab, which makes it familiar for engineers like me. And then there's the speedup. For one b

I use them for months without that ever happening, and I'm very particular about capping them every single time I even pause for a short time.

Without knowing where the lens is in relation to the sensor, you can't correct for the time-varying perspective distortion. Perhaps the decade of publications have never involved optical image stabilization in the loop. What you could

Bezels make a phone easier to use. It's incredibly awkward trying to reach the space bar with my thumb on a phone without bezels.

This works best in lenses that have zero vignetting, like the purpose-designed Minolta/Sony 135 STF and the new FE-mount 100 STF. By comparison, the Fuji 56/1.2R and the Laowa 105/2 with apodization filters lose the effect in

If you just want to put words on a page and print it out, sure, use a word processor. But if you have to generate more than one document with the same formatting, or a very large document, LaTeX is the way to go. I use it, interfaced with S

They also held a much more modestly-sized area. The larger you are, the bigger the attack surface and the more your defenses are spread out. Plus, you attract more attention when larger; the 1G logo northwest of Canada was originally a good
