We test the Pentax K100D digital camera for its suitability for infrared photography. 1/8 second at f3.5 and 200ISO 2 seconds at f16 and 200ISO What we found when we put a Hoya R72 filter on the camera was that the new Pentax K100D has a fairly weak infrared blocking filter. So exposure times are …
In this article we explore some aspects of macro photography with digital cameras. Macro is an excellent photography area that can really make good use of the strengths of digital cameras. This is the first of a series of articles on macro techniques and subjects. 0.5 second, f16 and 100ISO, Sigma 70mm Macro on Canon …

A camera lens will actually only focus one single, flat (if it is a good lens) plane perfectly. As you move away from the plane of sharp focus, objects become gradually …
We test the suitability of using the 400D with a Hoya R72 filter to shoot infrared photography without camera modifications In our ongoing testing of digital cameras and their suitability for infrared work we come to the Canon 400D/Rebel XTi. This is a great camera. I own one and love it. But how does it …
We test the diffraction effects when using two lenses on an infrared converted Canon 350D digital camera. When we got our recently converted for infrared photography Canon 350D back from www.MaxMax.com it came with a convenient set of comments. One of these waas that, because of diffraction effects, you could expect to get the sharpest …
