    I have Philips Hue bulbs everywhere.

    I'm looking at filters - just need to recover from this spend first

    Until you try taking certain types of photos at night. Refracted light showing circular coatings of the filter and other anomalies may show up. Besides, once you have used a camera for many years, filters become a non issue as you already have perfected the knowledge of protecting your lens

    OK, so they're modeled incandescent that are actually LED?

    Filters won't change the difference between outdoor light and indoor; they will just shift everything and lose light. A blue filter will make the outside even bluer.

    If you want to eliminate or reduce the difference, you can shoot at nigh, draw curtains, or make two conversions, one for each light source, and rub the window part onto the conversion for the indoor light.

    Personally, I would only partially correct it with the two-conversion method, leave the one for the outside WB a day cool, and the one for the indoor light, a tad warm.

    Or, you could just change the hue of the bulbs.

    Or, you could just like it as it is. I only mentioned it because of the stark difference in light color.

    so which part of 35mm lens was wrong 🤔

    That's only for full-frame cameras.

    Focal length is not measured in degrees. The table shows the degrees captured with those focal lengths combined with a FF sensor.

    I bet you're going to get a lot of comments in real life from people who assume that it is a film camera, based on the way it looks.

    This just happened to me yesterday, but with the X-T5

    That's why I got it the silver one. Less 'in your face' for street photography.

    There was a period in the early aughts where almost no one had seen a DSLR, back when I had my Canon 10D, where people told me how happy they were that people like me who were still using film. When I told them it was digital, they were befuddled.

    All I saw was the guy cycling through crop modes with "FF-equivalent" focal lengths displayed on the LCD. They do not change the focal length. They change the sensor area used, with a fixed 23mm lens.

    It’s not a 35mm lens; it’s a 23mm APSC lens which happens to have the same field of view as a 35mm full frame lens. If it were built for a full frame camera then it would be a 35mm lens which happened to have the same field of view as a 23mm APSC lens.

    I ordered one about a week ago, upgrading from a V, so I guess I’ll see it in September. LOL

    same as exposure triangle debate. all that matters is how the image is acheived. simple really.

    Ultimately, you images are all that matter. If you use the wrong terminology, though, you can create confusion,

    theres no confusion, miles per hour, kilometres per hour, nautical miles per hour, which one is the most correct 😁

  • March 1, 2024, 10:49 a.m.

    Correct? Meters per second. Usable? In our region kilometers per hour for traffic, meters per second for wind speed. What is a mile, BTW? 🙃

    MPH is most correct in countries which use MPH; KPH is most correct in countries which use KPH; 23mm is most correct when discussing APSC lenses; 35mm is most correct when discussing full frame lenses.

    That's not the best analogy; that would be like using millimeters vs inches for focal length. A closer one would be "wind chill factor". If you say that it is 20C, but the actual temperature is 25C (when wind makes it "feel" like 20C), then the next person can say, "Wow, if it is 20C, then it feels even colder with this wind". That is very similar to when someone fails to mention FF equivalence when they use millimeters of focal length to describe an angle of view. Focal lengths are NOT angles of view. Unfortunately, actual angles never became the common way to refer to angles of view, and that is partly why equivalence is invoked.

    No confusion, only small errors when converting miles to kilometers or other way round.
    Miles per hour, kilometers per hour or knots are all units of speed. In that case you are comparing apples to apples, as they say. There's no question which one is the most correct .

    But You trying to mess things.

    Miles, feet, inches, kilometers, meters, millimeters are units of length. Degrees or radians are units of angles. Using mms as unit of angle is confusing. It is like comparing apples to colors of a rainbow.

    I like that "feel like 20°C" analogy. Just like with equivalent focal lengths. There is really people who believes that a 35mm lens magically turns to a 23mm lens if you set it infront of a APS-C sensor.
    That is not his fault, not your fault, not mine, not Donald's one. It was the camera industry that invitented those "crop factors" 30 - 20 years ago when they started to produce small sensor cameras to consumer market. They thought the angles of views in degrees were too difficult to sell. Focal length was more common or like Donald says it

    you need to ask your self to "define time" 🤔😊
