Another great show - thanks! I have just completed binge watching all the past episodes over the last week, so am very happy to have new episodes come every two weeks. Great mix of content. Two topics I’d be interested in for future shows: 1) how to best manage focus (& depth of field) for a shot like the digger? How do you chose the f-stop and where to focus on? I’d probably stop down as much as possible without getting too much diffraction and then focus on a point 1/3rd into the scene, but would love to hear how you approach this in wide angle shots. 2) Solid workflow for rating/selecting images in Lightroom. When you sometimes have 100s of frames after a day of shooting, how do you go about pruning, rating, key wording (?) the images? All too often I end up picking a few images that I like, work on them, and there’s a growing collection of unreviewed, unrated, uncategorized images that are gathering digital dust. Would love to see a segment on your approach to this.

Hi Ulrich. Firstly, thanks for supporting Photography Online - it's much appreciated. Also thanks for your comments. We cover things like workflow and rating images on our monthly webinar - Mc2Live so maybe try chacking that out to see if it ticks any of your boxes. With regards to focusing - we have touched on this before but we will continue to focus on it (see what I did there?!!) in future shows. All the best. (Marcus).

Also, if you start testing lenses which require different bodies then it can be difficult to compare them in detail, so we avoid doing that. We didn’t sell the feature as a comprehensive test of all lenses, but merely the ones most people are going to buy. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching.

Enjoyed the telephoto review but thought it a bit of a non comparison as the Canon was always going to come out on top due to better glass and faster lens hence the astronomical price. Would have been a more relevant test if the lenses were all of similar price. I have the Tamron as I was not impressed that Sigma did not include a tripod ring. Also other reviews that pitted the two lenses against each other favoured the Tamron over the Sigma.

Hi Hendrik. All the lenses we featured can be used on APS-C crops, so I am not sure what your point is?

For the 100-400's, very nice comparison but interestingly you didn't consider the 70-200 2.8 plus 2x converter, with the Canons it's just about as sharp and a lot cheaper and then a more flexible bundle - would you consider doing a quick comment on this soon as it is a major ommission. I had the Tamron for a week then the second Tamron for a week then I just gave up, focus was better on one side than the other side of the image; but without these errors, it felt very good quality mechanically & had a tripod ring which is very important to me. Sigma was not considered as the lack of a tripod ring cancelled it out for me, too much of a compromise. Canon 100-400 was too expensive & just chunky. BUT! looking back through all the photos I had taked, nearly 100% were at 400mm. So I bought the Canon 400mm f5.6 and never looked back, way too many advantages. With a 400mm your landscape options are limited but for wildlife there is no issue with the lack of Image Stabilisation except early morning and later evening, but my tripod is always with me and attached. Would I like to have the 100-400? in many ways yes but basically I have no justification for it as I have the Sigma 70-200 2.8 for shorter lengths & then the 2.8 is a massive advantage.

Hi Daniel. Thanks for watching our shows. When you say “critique the community”, I think you are referring to our “Surgery” where we critique images sent in by viewers? If so then yes, we do this most months.

Hi Team: I am really enjoying the new format of your channel. I can get my fix more often! I also like the segment on the new kit so please keep this coming. Will you be doing a similar comparison of wide angle lens? I need to buy one for my Sony, so I hope you will consider this. Cheers, Keith (Canada)

Hi Keith. Thanks as always for watching. Yes we will be doing many different lens comparisons covering all focal lengths in the future. Take care.

Hi Keith, I have the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM ART Canon lens. I got this when I was using Canon gear. I am now a Sony user and the lens is that good it bought an adapter for it to fit my SonyA7 iii. hope this helps

@@user-rq7gy1xf3m Hi; Thanks for your response, and yes it does help. This is a lens that I am reviewing for my purposes. I really like the idea of having it with an aperture of f 1.8. Cheers, Keith

@@PhotographyOnline hi another Indes maybe for a photography challenge for the boys , is go to the top tourist iconic parts of Skye where so so many images of the touristy snaps but try and get a portfolio shot that doesn’t include the main tourist subject a completely different shot/composition that’s unrecognisable to the main tourist part and see if Ruth can guess where the images where taken for instance your 10 top viens of Skye .. can they take the shots

@@PhotographyOnline Guys, watched pretty much every show and there is hardly anything Sony. We appreciate you cannot cover every brand BUT it is fair to say that Sony is Canon's biggest rival. They both dominate the top spots. So it would be great to see these comparisons. Thanks

Ok. Good show as always. Love the presentation and presenters. Whoever this week you took a long way around with the paint with light item. 99 percent of photographers are loners. Marcus should have done this on his own. It doesn't take 4 people to take this shot. I've taken many shots with light painting. I take multiple images then layer them. Some edits to use the best from each frame and its done. I also noticed the sky was flat and featureless. I'd have wait for the stars and taken a long exposure of that. A milkyway or aurora would at a lot. But hey thats how I play. The rest of the show was great. First time I've felt like being critical. Sorry for that but let's grow together. Stay safe folks. Still a big fan though.

Simon - Thanks for your feedback. You seem to be forgetting that we need to video the whole thing too! I specifically said in the feature that I didn't want to shoot the shot in the total dark as that would have lost all shadow detail and that wasn't the intention of the photo. The photo was to take a portrait of the digger, so that last thing I wanted was to have another element to distract from this. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching. (Marcus)

Idiotic comparison. Everyone knows that Canon 100-400mm is better. The real question is whether it is 3 times better as the price suggests !!
