Apple Watch ULTRA 2 and Series 9

Apple Watch ULTRA 2.

You've probably seen the news about a patent dispute limiting Apple's ability to bring more of the ULTRA 2 and SERIES 9 into the USA due to their highly advanced pulse oximeter technology, but regardless of that you certainly can buy all you want from existing stock for as long as that stock holds out. These will continue to be available — but only until they sell out or the dispute is resolved.

I love my ULTRA 2! They will continue to be available at Amazon and available at Adorama until they sell out, or the dispute is resolved.

Likewise, the SERIES 9 will continue to be available at Amazon, available at Adorama and available at Crutchfield until they sell out, or the dispute is resolved.

Why are lenses so sharp today?

A reader asked why pretty much every mirrorless lens is so sharp compared to 35mm SLR lenses, and it's simple:

1.) Designers have better software and more computers to let the computers better optimize the designs over many local maximums. In older days the designer needed to dream up the big strokes of the design and let the computer optimize around one local maximum of performance, and for the past ten or 15 years computers have been able to try all sorts of different approaches (local maximums) on their own, optimize each and compare for the best results (a more global maximum) than the designers of old could do only trying a few more basic or classic designs.

2.) Today's lenses are bigger and more complex, letting the designers do much more to make them sharper. Compare a typical 50mm f/1.8 lens (6 elements in 5 groups, 5.5 oz./157 grams) to a Z 50mm f/1.8 (12 elements in 9 groups, 14.5 oz./412 grams). Today's lens has far more clever technology that could make it just as sharp with even fewer elements in a smaller size, and yet Nikon chose to use twice as many elements and it's over 2½ times as heavy to insure that you people won't ever find any lack of sharpness when you look at images at 300% magnification on your computer!

3.) The reduced flange distance helps give designers even more freedom to optimize designs, especially for wide lenses. This is how we get tiny masterpieces like the RF 16mm f/2.8 full-frame ultra-ultrawide, the likes of which we haven't seen since 1950s rangefinder lenses like the LEICA SUPER-ANGULON 21mm f/4.

4.) Modern manufacturing processes make it easy to manufacture these complex designs, and also have made it trivial to manufacture precision aspherical elements in bulk. Aspherical elements allow huge advances in optical performance, but used to be incredibly expensive to make by hand. For instance, the Nikon 13mm f/5.6 was from back in the day when aspherical elements were just too expensive to use for just about anything. The Nikon 13mm f/5.6 uses only conventional spherical elements, and its performance is therefore inferior to cheap modern lenses of the same focal length with much smaller size and higher speed like the Pergear 14mm f/2.8 II.

Nikon 13mm f/5.6 AI-s.

Nikon 13mm f/5.6 with box, filters and case sells for $50,000.

They used to go for about $30,000 as a collectible and I haven't seen any sell in the past couple of years. Looks like their value is still climbing, and this one especially as it has the original box, essential to collectors. The service manual anyone can buy, but having the box and case is harder to find than the lens. The rear filters are easy to find, they're the same as sold with the AF-D 16mm f/2.8 fisheye and other older Nikon ultrawides.

Audeze MM-100.

NEW: Audeze MM-100 Review.

American-made planar magnetic headphones. These new MM-100 are the best $399 you can spend on headphones — if you can wait to get them because they're so popular. They have 95% of the performance of headphones costing three times as much.

$47 Off (open box with full new warranty): Nikon Z30, Z 16-50 VR & Z 50-250mm VR: $899.60.

$30 Off (open box with full new warranty): Nikon Z 2× teleconverter: $567.10.

$177 Off (scratch & dent with full new warranty): Nikon SB-700 Flash: $150.

Wow! The SB-700 is an older pro flash that works great on all modern Z cameras. It's a full-size, full-featured powerhouse. Newer flashes add crazy radio control and other modes I never use; for a solid on-camera flash, this is among the best ever made for Nikon.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Review

I'm working on one, but honestly, how much writing do I need to do? Last month I shared a ton of fall color photos from my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and here's one from the other day:

Sunset, Fletcher Cove, California, 4:37 PM, Monday, 18 December 2023. iPhone 15 Pro Max, 1× 6.9mm (24mm eq.) camera at f/1.8 at 1/1,767 at Auto ISO 80 (LV 12.8), Snapseed and Radiant Photo software. bigger.

Yes, I had my Nikon Zf with me, and it was so much easier to reach down with my iPhone and just nail this from inches away from the kelp than it would have been to try to fiddle with the Zf and its tiny screen (like all mirrorless cameras) at arm's length. Just reach down with iPhone, and you've got it.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II with Canon EF 50mm f/1.0 L USM on EF to RF Ring Adapter.

NEW: Canon EOS R6 Mark II Review & Sample Image Files.

NEW: Canon EOS R6 Mark II Plain-English User's Guide.

My review says it: this is the world's best camera for its flawless ergonomics that let me get my shots more easily than with any other camera, as well as having flawless technical performance and unbeaten autofocus at 40 FPS. I can't seem to get an out-of-focus image with my R6 II, it rules for every kind of photography. Get one while they're on sale!

No one pays me anything to write these reviews and I don't take ads from camera companies so I can say it like it is. I've been shooting seriously for over 50 years, so I just don't care about brands or fluff. All I care about is how well the camera gets out of my way and gets my pictures and how they look. The R6 II is the best camera I've every used, period.

$80 Off: Canon V10 Vlog Camera: $349, also in silver.

EOS R6 II

Have you noticed that with the $500-off sale on the R6 II that people are still paying about $2,100 for used ones? (How to Win at eBay.)

That's right, people are paying more used than today's $500-off sale price!!!

Here are the current new prices;

R6 Mark II body-only: $1,999 at B&H, at Adorama, at Amazon and at Crutchfield.

R6 Mark II w/RF 24-105mm IS STM: $2,299 at B&H, at Adorama, at Amazon and at Crutchfield.

Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 VR.

New: Nikon 28-300mm VR available new at B&H!

The 28-300mm VR has been my favorite DSLR lens for over ten years. It's not sold new anymore in the USA, however B&H has brought them back in, brand new, gray market.

Of course there are plenty out there for about $400 used if you know How to Win at eBay, and they're also available used at Amazon, and once again we can get them new.

As I show in my review, this lens does everything and is super sharp. On Z cameras I prefer the much smaller Z 24-200mm, and this 28-300mm also works great on the FTZ and FTZ II.

Here's a sample image:

I know, I know. I'd pay attention to the Canon R6 II deals. Right now I'm shooting my R6 II and updating its review. I have 3,000 shots from the past two days through which to sort in Photo Mechanic, and I shot those in a few minutes!

It's an awesome camera for everything from landscapes to sports. It silently runs at 40 FPS and I get over 10,000 shots per charge with long sequences of continuous shots - and they're all in perfect focus! Its ergonomics are the best I've used and it's my favorite camera at any price right now.

Oh yeah, you want these. These are high-power stabilized binoculars, so you can read just about anything through them at any distance, no tripod needed. I got the Fuji equivalents for Christmas ten years ago and still use them, but if this deal was out there then, I would have gotten these instead.

$310 off: WD Elements 18 TB Desktop HDD: $229.99.

HINT: I bought three of these WD Elements drives in September and returned them because they were 50% slower for backups than the two-year-old Seagates I had been using! Instead I bought three Seagate Expansion Drives which are 50% faster and smaller and better looking and easier to move around and less delicate than the gloss black plastic of the WD. Sadly drive makers no longer make any claims or offer any specifications as to how fast are their hard drives so now we have to fly blind. I tested the WD drives which gave random speeds of 50-100 MB/s, while these Seagate Expansion Drives run at a solid 200-250 MB/s which is getting close to SSD transfer rates. I use a fleet of these for daily backups using Super Duper software:

YES again! This is an affordable 800mm zoom, which is now the world's longest mirrorless zoom. Birders rejoice!

Pop this full-frame zoom on an APS-C R7, R10, R50 or R100 and you have an unbeatable 320-1,280mm equivalent rig for wildlife!

This is the world's first 24-105mm f/2.8 zoom. 105mm is 50% longer and 200% more useful than the lame 70mm "tele" ends of 24-70mm f/2.8 zooms.

Free Think Tank Bag: Nikon Z30 with free ThinkTank Retrospective 7M v2.0 bag.

My friend Jim just got one of these combos and showed it to me on our Fall Color Trip.

If you use this link B&H will throw in a free ThinkTank Retrospective 7M v2.0 bag along with a Z30 for the same price as the Z30 body alone! The ThinkTank Retrospective 7M v2.0 is awesome; I use my Think Tank Retrospectives for all my cameras.

It's odd that this is what I consider a very large bag for such a tiny camera; B&H must be overstocked on this top pro bag. This same weekend I used my original Retrospective 7 bag to carry my Canon EOS R6 II, RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM, RF 24-240mm IS STM, huge EF 100-400mm L IS II USM, EF 1.4x extender II, EF 2x extender, EF to RF Ring Adapter, 320EX flash, Nitecore BB2 blower, Nitecore 20,000mAh power bank, filters and more!

Why don't I have the newest 7M v2.0? Simply because I'm still using my original Retrospective 7 that I've had for ten years and it's still like new! This "free bag" isn't a throwaway; it's a work of art, for free!

11 October 2023, Amazon Prime Day

World's Widest Non-Distorting Zoom: 130.5º

NEW: Canon Full Frame RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STM Ultra-Ultra Wide (also at Adorama)

130.5º undistorted angle of view on full-frame, rear gel filters (only), 20.1 oz./570g, 3.3 × 4.4"/83.7 × 112mm, 0.8'/0.25m close focus (from image plane; focuses almost up to the front surface of the lens), 0.12× macro ratio, 9-bladed diaphragm stops down to f/22.

Wow! World's first 10mm full-frame zoom!

This is insane! Ultra-ultra wides are extremely difficult to use, and if you know how, no other zoom goes this wide. There have been off-brand fixed lenses this wide, but nothing ever dedicated to a real camera system with the level of performance and modern electronic communication seen here.

This is not a lens for carrying around your neck all day because there is no way to use front protective filters. Therefore, like the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, you constantly have to be vigilant in protecting the front element against everything. Not only is it unprotected, but due to the extremely deep depth of field of ultrawide lenses, any damage to the front element will be seen on your pictures. You can scratch or have dirt or fingerprints on a tele and no one will notice, but you will see what's on your front element in your pictures with lenses this wide. I'm serious; a small fingerprint smudge will show up as a slightly darker region in the sky and its a bear to try to fix later. Be careful and be clean.

For most uses I prefer the much more practical RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM which takes normal 77mm filters and caps, and now Canon has broadened our perspective beyond anything ever seen in serious photography for those who need the widest of the wide.

While 10mm versus 11mm may seem like just one silly millimeter, it's significantly wider than the previous world wide leader, the EF 11-24mm f/4 L USM, and adds image stabilization.

In-camera stabilization doesn't work well in the corners of ultrawide lenses for geometric reasons, so it's crucial that this lens has optical stabilization. Geometry requires a sensor to move over twice as far in the corners than in the center to compensate for the same angular displacement with a 10mm lens, which sensors can't do. Only with a tele or a fisheye does image displacement remain the same across the sensor for the same angle of lens shift; with ultrawides the sides and corners are displaced more with motion than in the center. Therefore it's magnificent that this lens has optical stabilization.

I show this in my review of the unstabilized Sony 14mm f/2.8; the corners can't be well stabilized with sensor shifting alone.

Here's another crazy great thing about the new RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STM: it's about the same and weight as the small RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM and weighs only two-thirds as much as the RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM and it's smaller, too!

NEW: Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR (also at Adorama)

95mm filters, 9-bladed diaphragm, 51.9 oz./1,470g w/collar, 49.0 oz./1,390g w/o collar, 4.2 × 11"/106.7 × 279.4mm, 13'/4m close focus, 0.15× macro ratio, stops down to f/32.

Super light with a Fresnel lens, it's designed for hand-holding and rated 5.5 stops VR improvement.

Did you see the weight specification? It's the same as the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR!

HINT: I just bought three of those WD Elements drives and returned them because they were 50% slower for backups than the two-year-old Seagates I had been using! Instead I bought three Seagate Expansion Drives which are 50% faster and smaller and better looking and easier to move around and less delicate than the gloss black plastic of the WD. Sadly drive makers no longer make any claims or offer any specifications as to how fast are their hard drives so now we have to fly blind. I tested the WD drives which gave random speeds of 50-100 MB/s, while these Seagate run at a solid 200-250 MB/s which is getting close to SSD transfer rates. I use a fleet of these for daily backups using Super Duper software:

ZeissImages.com Photo Contest

This contest is a little convoluted to enter, but it seems to be free, doesn't care what lenses you used and could result in wining a free ZEISS lens, so why not? The only cost is that you agree to let Zeiss use the winning image(s) for their promotions.

Here are the contest details. You have to sign up at the site (free) if you haven't already, and then to enter you upload up to three images. To upload, click "Galleries" in the upper left of any page at that site, click the "Upload Photos" dropdown, select the "Zeiss Contest - 2023" category and select image files from your computer. Dragging JPG images or files to the "Drag Here" box didn't work for me; the Select Files option did. As you upload each, you can edit its data and I think you're done.

I entered three shots from my HASSELBLAD 903 SWC with its space-grade ZEISS BIOGON T✻ 38mm f/4.5 and we'll see what happens.

iPhone 15 USB-C Accessories

While my new iPhone 15 Pro Max works great with the same wireless chargers I've had ever since the first iPhone had wireless charging and I have loads of USB-C chargers, here's a new adapter that lets me connect my new USB-C iPhone 15 Pro Max to some older infrastructure:

NEW: USB-C to Lightning Adapter.

This new adapter has a female Lightning receptacle and a male USB-C connector, effectively turning your new iPhone 15 Pro Max back into a Lightning device for charging and audio with older devices — or so I hope.

I was hoping it would let me connect to docks and to my 2013 Mercedes S550, which has a 30-pin connector for the iPods and iPhones of its day. I've been using the Apple 30-pin to Lightning adapters for years, with which my iPhone 14 Pro Max worked great in my 2013 car.

Apple says its USB-C to Lightning Adapter supports data and charging, and mine works great with Lightning EarPods, but sadly I haven't gotten it to work with any kind of dock. To be continued.

Old: USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter.

I've been using these ever since my iPad went to USB-C, and I just ordered some more at a whopping $9 each for my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I use them to drive my corded Audeze planar magnetic headphones for serious listening.

Hint: Instead of buying new USB-C corded earpods (if anyone still uses these), you can use this USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter to let you use your 3.5mm earbuds from ancient times with your new iPhone 15 Pro Max. If you need corded earpods, I'd get the newest USB-C corded earpods rather than adapt old 3.5mm ones from under your couch, however in my case since I have adapters and old earpods I rarely use, I'm good.

Fast Charging

I forgot to charge my iPhone 15 Pro Max last night. No worries; it had 40% charge when I woke up. I plugged it in to charge, and half an hour later when I was ready to go it was mostly charged. Use a 20W charger or better and it's super-fast, charging at a maximum rate of about 20~25W if your USB-C charger is rated that high or higher.

BMW CarPlay with iOS 17.0.3

For whatever reason, I lost CarPlay today after updating to iOS 17.0.3. Resetting and restarting and deleting and attempting to reconnect from my iPhones Settings > Bluetooth screen got me nowhere.

It turns out what I needed to do in my 2019 BMW M850i Convertible running iDrive 7, is to:

1.) Turn off my iPhone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections in my iPhone's Control Center (swipe down from top right).

2.) I needed to run the engine at the same time I held down the radio power button for 70 seconds (exactly). The screen popped on and off a few times.

3.) I went to Apps on the BMW screen (press the APPS button on the center console), pressed OPTION on my center console controller, and selected something like "Update Apps and Software" and said OK a few times. I said it was updating, and about 15 seconds later it was done.

4.) Turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth back on in iPhone Control Center.

5.) Here's what I probably did wrong before. Instead of trying to reconnect with the iPhone at Settings > Bluetooth, the trick is to get the BMW to its pairing screen, select the CarPlay option in the BMW, and in the iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay.

AHA! Works like a champ again. I'm sure you couldn't care less, but I wanted to write this trick down in case I'm stuck again and can't reach BMW support who were actually the ones who worked me through this. The trick of going to Settings > General > CarPlay instead of Settings > Bluetooth to setup probably applies to other cars as well. Also at Settings > General > CarPlay > My Car you can reorganize your apps on your car's screen if you select your car in that iPhone screen and hit Customize!

Review Coming: iPhone 15 Pro Max.

iPhone 15 Pro Max in natural titanium, in Taupe FineWoven case. (click either to enlarge.)

I know you're all curious, but I have to shoot it for a while to be able to comment intelligently rather than simply repeating what we all already know from Apple.

Overall I'm loving the 5× (15.7mm actual or 120mm eq.) camera that's unique to the 15 Pro Max. I've been asking for longer lenses for years; longer lenses are critical for many kinds of photography. More than just trying to catch things far away, longer lenses let us stand farther away to get much more natural perspective rendering for everything 3D, from people to cars.

The 15 and 15 Plus have only two lenses on the back, the 0.5× (13mm) and 1×/2× (24/48mm) cameras. Neither has the third telephoto camera, which everyone here needs.

The 15 Pro has a third 3× (77mm) telephoto camera, and only the 15 Pro Max has a third 5× (120mm) telephoto camera. This is a big deal; the 120mm camera is 57% longer than 77mm, the same difference between a 50mm and 80mm lens.

Normally I wait until I after I've shot the heck out of it on my Eastern Sierra Fall Color Photo Trip each year to report, but I'll see if I can knock out more comments before I leave. You should definitely join us on our trip.

It takes forever to create these studio shots, which is what I did this weekend, so here you go as a teaser for now:

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!
