If you want JPGs to look different, you can change them in the camera, and RAW files are just that: raw. They will vary between cameras slightly because the cameras have different sensors. Editing RAWs from 5d3 vs. 5d4 vs. 6d (my only exper

Magic Lantern is fantastic software that makes EOS cameras even better, but I understand why manufacturers make it hard: Camera manufacturers live and die on their reputation for making tools that deliver for the professional users of those

The "ding" is a bell that is mechanically activated when the carriage gets close to the end of the writeable area (in many typewriters, this is a moveable stop to account for variable paper width). So when one types, the bell aler

Likewise! Though Latin American engineers also tend to be some of the priciest offshore developers (along with European engineers). Excellent engineers, but there's still some churn from the friction of hiring and maintaining teams ove

I have noticed many nice projects built on Rust + ratatui - many thanks to the creators and mantainers.

Thank you for your comment. I must admit that I am baffled by it. Is this a series of general observations on the function of the Twin? It does not seem to respond to the prior discourse about 6L6GC power tubes being run above design maximu

Without looking up the answer (because someone has already computed this for you), how would you find the highest geographic point (highest elevation) in your country?

Guitar amps that routinely blow tubes usually operate past maximum rated plate voltage. As an example, the Fender Twin Reverb[0] runs 6L6GCs[1] at 460V plate voltage, above the stated class-AB pentode max of 450V. I've used the same t

I wonder who will be held at fault when the low-paid in-person troubleshooter discovers 15kV with his fingers (I do not wonder who will be killed) while his lock opens the wrong breaker. The business is not broken and does not need "fi

Same thing on the current F-800 and F-900: identical engine blocks, different power outputs, F-900 comes with taller suspension, spoked wheels, and so forth. I believe part of the rationale is that Euro A2 licenses permit a "restrictor

If you're interested, hunt around for an EOS-1 or 1N - it's a 35mm film camera with pretty fast autofocus that can use contemporary Canon EF-mount lenses. (Canon still sells the cameras and lenses, although they're being phas

Perhaps not so surprising: Fuji was producing excellent film cameras and lenses in the 1980s and 1990s, whereas Kodak was not.

Fujifilm recognized that they were a chemistry company and partially pivoted to cosmetics.

I recall a Greek 240D that had exceeded 4M kM (i.e. 4 GM). Regular motor and transmission rebuilds at intervals that would shame a contemporary dealer's service department.

Kodak in the early 2010s, maybe? Eastman Kodak (the spun-off film business) in the 2020s has been more or less stable. They even brought a discontinued film (E100) back. Production and pricing are now in line with the limited demand from f
