25 December 2022, Christmas Day

Merry Christmas!!!

 

24 December 2022, Christmas Eve

$150 off: Canon RF 100-400mm IS USM: $499!!!

No one else makes a lens like this. The RF 100-400mm is tiny, ultrasharp, and nearly free. I highly recommend it. I love my EF 100-400m IS L II, but it weighs a ton. The RF 100-400mm is easy to take everywhere so you always have it.

$200 off: Canon RF 100-500mm L IS USM: $2,699!!!

 

$300 off: Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR: $2,396.95! (review)

 

There's a sale over at Radiant Software on Radiant Photo, which is the current iteration of Perfectly Clear which I use for almost all my photos to make them look better, faster:

Backlit Kelp in the Waves at Sunset, Oceano Dunes, California

Backlit Kelp at Sunset, Oceano Dunes, California, 7:12 P.M., 20 April 2022. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 1.6mm (0.5× or 13mm equivalent) camera at f/1.8 at 1/201 at Auto ISO 32 (LV 11.0), Snapseed on iPhone and then Perfectly Clear. bigger or fit-to-screen.

Yes, my Nikon Z9 has a crappy little flippy LCD screen, but my Phone 13 Pro Max has a huge, bright OLED screen I actually can see from arm's length, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max' 13mm (equivalent) ultra-ultra-wide lens has far more depth-of-field than my full-frame Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4, and forget trying to hold a Z9 in place as the waves keep crashing in. In this shot, it was trivially easy to get my iPhone 13 Pro Max in exactly the position I wanted for this shot as I envisioned it. Only with the pretty much unlimited depth-of-field of its 1.6mm lens could I get this all in focus in the real world racing the waves.

 

Up to 85% Off: Skylum Luminar Neo and HDR Merge (in Neo).

I use these to take my photos from OK to WOW! See samples at Autumn Light in Yosemite & California's Eastern Sierra:

Half Dome in Last Light as seen from Cook's Meadow

Half Dome in Last Light, Cook's Meadow, Yosemite National Park, 6:12 P.M., 14 October 2021. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 9mm (77mm eq.) camera at f/2.8 at 1/122 at Auto ISO 50 (LV 10.9), Snapseed on iPhone to bump up the colors then Skylum Luminar AI (updated as Luminar Neo for 2023) in my Mac to add clouds and finally Skylum Aurora HDR to add snap and vignetting, all from my one original JPG file. bigger or fit-to-screen.

Adding clouds later is nothing new; photographers have been adding clouds to empty skies by using two different negatives to print them onto the same piece of otherwise blank photo paper ever since the 1800sSkylum Luminar AI (updated as Luminar Neo for 2023) just makes it much, much easier and even has its own cloud templates.

 

23 December 2022, Friday

LEICA M6

LEICA M6 TTL 0.85× mit LEICA SUMMILUX 50mm f/1.4.

New: We now can order the new 2022 version of the LEICA M6.

I'm not that excited; I prefer my used M6 TTL (How to Win at eBay). My old TTL version adds these features over the older non-TTL and over the newest 2022 versions:

1.) TTL flash control,

2.) A much larger and more usable shutter speed dial, and

3.) You can get the superior and optional 0.85× finder in a used M6, as well as the 0.58× version if you prefer. The 2022 version only comes in plain vanilla 0.72×,

but then again I'm an actual photogtaphic artist, not a camera collector whose gear spends more time on the shelf than in the field.

"ProBook?" Can't anyone other than Apple innovate anymore? Why does the whole world have to copy Apple with their named-alike and look-alike but crappy plastic laptops? I've even seen a big sandwich chain offer "Pro" versions of their sandwiches. Maybe HP ought to try the name "CrapBook Pro" for windows PCs? Geesh, these junk brands are still using 1997-era 140 DPI screens. The base-model 2017 MacBook Pro I've used to make this website for the past year and just about everything Apple have Retina screens with many times the screen resolution of the old crapscreens used everywhere else. The 15.6" HP CrapBook only has 1,920 pixels horizontal resolution, while my five-year old base model 13" MacBook Pro has 2,560 pixels horizontal resolution — on its much smaller screen! Do windows users still really live with 140 DPI displays? PS: Apple Macs are pretty much forever; my desktop machine is my late-2013 Mac Pro; works great with no need to change it. Invest in a Mac and you don't have to throw it away every few years, so they cost much less to operate long-term.

It's super well-made of waterproof cotton canvas, cloth linings and leather trim just like the Retrospective camera bags; it's not the usual nylon duffel bag. Perfect! Here's mine in action:

More Sales

Of course the sales from yesterday are still valid, as are many of the older ones. I'll skip repeating them all.

 

$200 off the EOS R10

R10 review, 18-45mm IS review and 18-150 IS review. The R10 and RF 18-150mm each are brilliant; possibly the only lens and camera most people would ever need at a low price. While the R7 offers some great features like Automatic Leveling, the R10 is very similar for much less money, especially now that the R10 is on sale and the R7 is not.

R10 body-only: $779 at B&H, at Adorama, at Amazon and at Crutchfield.

R10 & 18-45mm IS kit as shown: $899 at B&H, at Adorama, at Amazon and at Crutchfield.

Big Sales: Fender Squier Affinity Series Guitars: Stratocasters, Telecasters, Precision & Jazz Bass.

I got my daughter a Fender Squire kit a few months ago! These are great Fender guitars at super low prices. In the case of the complete guitar and amp pack my daughter picked out for herself, I bounced it off a lifetime pro guitarist I've known since the 1970s, and he confirmed these Squire kits are the perfect way to get started because they include everything, they're all more than decent quality and the price for everything is ultra low. It's as if Fender wants to get people hooked on guitar with these so they love it and buy plenty more over the years.

Holy Crappy Camera! Holga 60mm Interchangeable Toy Camera Lens.

This is a crappy plastic $16.49 lens in a Canon mount (also comes in Nikon) that lets you get genuine Holga crappy camera effects direct-to-digital. For $17 how can you go wrong?

Coming in Nikon or Canon DSLR mounts means it's trivial to adapt to mirrorless cameras.

Help me help you

I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.

If you find this as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.

If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!

If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.

The biggest help is when you use any of these links when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. eBay is always a gamble, but all the other places always have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.

Thanks for reading!
