Nikon has also revealed an update to its popular DX-format superzoom, in the shape of the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR II. The revised version features a new zoom mechanism to combat 'zoom creep' (one of the most common user complaints about the original lens), along with a zoom lock switch to keep the lens compact when carried. Improved 'Super Integrated Coating' promises to reduce flare and ghosting while size, weight and optical construction remain unchanged. The lens will be on sale from September 2009 at an RRP of £729.99 / €887.00 / $849.95. NIKKOR VR superzoom lens for DX format cameras renewed Amsterdam , the Netherlands, 30th July 2009 – Nikon Europe has announced the introduction of the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200MM F/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens.
If you’ve spent anytime at all exploring sites like Flickr , I’m sure you’ve notice a good many photographs that have a certain “vintage” look to them, a patina if you will. There are many variations to this theme, ranging from simple toning to full blown distressing of the photograph complete with film like grain or scratches and surface variation resembling an old or imperfect photo. Up till now you might have thought that achieving this look was difficult and time consuming, but in fact it is remarkably easy, and it is done using textures. What exactly is a texture? The term texture when used in photoshop refers to an image that is used on top of your own image that when adjusted via blend modes or opacity imparts a “texture” on your image.

Distortions The lens shows moderate barrel distortions at around 0.6%. This is slightly more than you'd expect from a fix focal lens. However, this is actually typical for fast standard primes and usually not field relevant.
When the economy makes big news, many photographs of people at work come across the wires, usually to help illustrate a particular story or event. By collecting these disparate photos over the past few months, I found that a global portrait emerged of we humans producing things. People assembling, generating, and building items small and large, mundane and expensive, trivial and important. I hope you enjoy this look into some people's work lives around the world.

Magnetic Photo Rope - A Cool Way to Display Your Images
One of the cool products that our friends at Photojojo have been selling recently is the Magnetic Photo Rope – a fun way to display your images. The Magnetic Photo Rope concept is simply – it’s a metal cable/rope with a weight on the end of it which you hang on your wall and it comes with 8 small, but strong, magnets which allow you to hang a photo from the rope. The effect is quite cool – images appearing to hang off the rope. The idea is simple and effective – it allows you to rotate and move around photos as you like – without having to stick pins through your images or have to get images in and out of frames.2008 has been an eventful year to say the least - it is difficult to sum up the thousands of stories in just a handful of photographs. That said, I will try to do what I've done with other photo narratives here, and tell a story of 2008 in photographs. It's not the story of 2008, it's certainly not all stories, but as a collection it does show a good portion of what life has been like over the past 12 months. This is a multi-entry story, 120 photographs over three days.

Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google.Certains d'entre vous sont intéressés par une mise au point manuelle mais constatent une difficulté, d'autres ayant connu le stigmomètre le regrette. Moi même, j'ai préféré changer le dépoli d'un Pentax. Après avoir vu sur ebay des dépolis bas de gamme avec stigmomètre et aussi le couteux "katz eye" j'ai trouvé une offre qui me parraissait bien ici : http://www.focusingscreen.com/ Le katz eye en plus ressemble fort au K3 avec son grand cercle noir aussi inutile que gênant. Il y a des dépolis de grande qualité (de Canon 1D, ou Nikon F6, ...) qui sont retaillés pour s'installer facilement dans les reflex actuels (la plupart).
