jaapv Posted July 2, 2014 Share #61 Posted July 2, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I agree it is certainly not as precise as an aperture readout. But I genuinly wonder what one would need an exact readout for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Is the T made for M users?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pop Posted July 2, 2014 Share #62 Posted July 2, 2014 There are several conditions which depend on the aperture and which are or could be corrected either in-camera or in PP and where a more precise correction could be applied if the aperture value for each shot was known. I think even the Italian Flag depend on the aperture. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 2, 2014 Share #63 Posted July 2, 2014 I was more thinking of the user. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted July 2, 2014 Share #64 Posted July 2, 2014 I was more thinking of the user. Aren't we all? Actually, I think I've seen some contests 'out there' where contestants were required to submit the statistics with their pictures, such as focal length, exposure duration and aperture.

yeokpd Posted July 5, 2014 Share #66 Posted July 5, 2014 I use a good variety of cam n lens and compacts, I use LR to sort and PP all my shots. I compare my shots taken with different cams systems and figure out for my own what each system / lens does best, then plan ahead and use diff systems in the right situation. Hence the F stop comes into play here. I may be just an odd ball doing this, but that's just me and why I am interested to have the F stop info.

jmahto Posted July 8, 2014 Share #67 Posted July 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) ......I compare my shots taken with different cams systems and figure out for my own what each system / lens does best...... During lens testing, I write down the f stop used and later tag it in LR with keyword for f stops. This way I can review them later. Once I have sorted out my lens/aperture combo that works (and I know the intended effect) then I shoot freely with the knowledge. There is no need to know f stop from the pic files any more (to me).

Herr Barnack Posted July 8, 2014 Share #68 Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) As an M240 user, I cannot see the T as a substitute for the M240. Comparing the two cameras is akin to comparing apples and... broccoli. They are two vastly different cameras intended for two vastly different kinds of photographers. If I want to go fast and light, I will take the M240 with the 28 'cron attached. Of course, the T would make a smaller package - but with nowhere the capability of the M240. Smalll and light? An M240/28 'cron combo is small and light. Smaller and lighter are well and good, but not at the cost of camera performance and image quality - in my book, at least. YMMV...

IkarusJohn Posted July 16, 2014 Share #69 Posted July 16, 2014 I agree the comparison is fruitless, but I'm not so sure they're intended for different photographers. For me, it's less a case of "small and light", and more a case of EVF, AF and zoom. I have a small AF camera that takes a native zoom, my Nikon macro and long zoom, and as a bonus my M lenses. It has detracted slightly from the use of my M cameras, but they remain my first preference. Cheers John Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSFO Posted July 17, 2014 Share #70 Posted July 17, 2014 Different approaches and different audience. I am using the T as a supplement to the M. The T for me is a versatile small and light package. The M is for serious work and for times where I want to have the rangefinder experience. I'm still putting the T through it's paces. Some good and some bad experiences so far but overall... still happy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
