I get 20x30 prints off my 5d3 and I don't notice banding issues. Are my eyes broken?

ExecuDork posted:This is one thing I absolutely adore about SomethingAwful - a professional mechanic wanders into the Dorkroom with his new camera, and ends up discovering his lens has a gearbox, and is otherwise extremely similar to a late-90's Hyundai. The second hand zoom lens I bought, whilst having no AF, seems to be of considerably higher quality. The end part that moves back and forth has very little play even when fully extended and the general fit and finish seems much tighter. The only irritating thing is that when you operate the focus ring, there is no way of disengaging it from the little screw that's supposed to mesh with a full-sized body, so you can hear the entire geartrain softly whining. It doesn't bother me, but it's strange that it happens and I'd like to play around with a brand new lens of the same make and size to see if it's just how they are or if mine has a missing tooth on a gear somewhere, or something. Can you grease lens gearing somehow? Now that I've taken one apart, the other seems to have similar construction, at least in the broad strokes.

Pukestain Pal posted:WIth wildlife photography, or some others that you you might aggressively have to crop it can be an issue. I've gone birding with everything from a 10D to a 7D and somehow have managed to end up with a big pile of really nice prints (often heavily cropped) from these completely useless outdated non-Sony poo poo sensors. Even in poor light I still get some worthy images, but maybe my standards are just too low.

That's what you get for not diversifying. Maybe you could negotiate a trade for some property in SAS or AI.

Av in spot meter mode for most stuff, center weighted for sports or other fast moving events with shifting light. Generally if it's a constant light situation, it's easiest just to nail down the exposure and set it to manual. Sunny 16 is a pretty easy quick and dirty approach, too.

spog posted:Sure. That way you can fix your exposure at the widest aperture your lens can offer. I shoot sports for a wire, and I can't imagine ever shooting Av. You need control over shutter speed and aperture. In bad lighting (half sun, half shade), I'll use aperture on the fly to adjust exposure without touching my shutter speed.

So glad there's someone like you here to tell us how to shoot "for a wire".

I was playing around with the Set Picture Control options, learning how they work and so on, so I took a neutral photograph and a more vivid one. This is how they look in-camera and in thumbnail form on my computer:  And this is how they look in Lightroom and in Explorer:  Am I missing something here or is the effect only applying to the preview thumbnails? My guess is that the profiles are meant only to be used when shooting in Jpeg format and that using them for RAW does gently caress all. Is that right?

Set the camera profile in Lightroom to Camera Neutral or Standard. That'll make sure lightroom doesn't apply it's own, which is more 'contrasty'.

Yep - when shooting RAW the thumb and histogram will be based off those settings but the raw is still.. Raw. If you use the mfgr software (like dpp for canon) it will usually default to the settings you selected in camera also. With acr/Lightroom you can select the 'camera X' calibration profile to get back to that look

If you have a camera with an electronic viewfinder and focus peaking you can use this to your advantage, but mostly it means don't bother setting any filters or styles in camera.
