Je sais que je peux changer d'assurance pour mon prêt bancaire, mais je n'ai pas les connaissances nécessaires pour savoir si cela vaut la peine ou non.

J'ai souscrit cette assurance en 2022, il y a donc 8 ans.

Pouvez-vous me recommander un outil de calcul ou un moyen de vérifier s'il est intéressant pour moi de changer ou non ?

I’ve only just got this camera; I don’t shoot video, just photography, and I’ve discovered the Zebra stripes in the menu and the manual.

I’m wondering if you use them for taking photos and, if so, how?

My idea was to set Zebra 1 to 80% and Zebra 2 to 95% and use them to expose using the ETTR method.

As soon as I see the first stripes appear, I’m sure that means I’m exposing correctly on the right side.

Is my reasoning correct? Or should I stop down by 1/3 of a stop earlier?

I'm a photographer, and I mainly express myself through images. I read a lot, and however hard I try, writing isn't my main way of expressing my creativity.

When I read photobooks, they're often accompanied by wonderful introductions to the project, and I’ve always wondered how these collaborations come about.

I'm curious to hear about your experience: have you ever written for photographic projects, and if so, how did that collaboration come about? Did you write based solely on the photos? Or did you travel with the photographer and share the experience together?

Because whilst I can see how that might work for a photo essay, for long-term photographic projects lasting years, it might be difficult.

Thank you to everyone who shares their experience.

Hello everyone, I’m a freelance photographer based in Cannes.

I’m launching a long-term documentary storytelling project in our local area and am looking for a creative partner who can write stories – a journalist, writer or someone passionate about storytelling. In french and english.

I’m looking for a writer who can dig beneath the surface, conduct interviews, explore social or historical issues in depth, and work in synergy with the images. I’m not looking for someone who simply writes captions, but for a true co-author of the project.

I’ve already identified a few themes and am open to other ideas or initiatives, and I’m ready to discuss them over a coffee or even remotely.

I’m looking for someone who, like me, has a passion for visual culture and stories, and who loves human connections.

It doesn’t matter whether you have little or a lot of experience.

If anyone is interested, I can share further details and answer your questions 1-1!

I’ve just received this wonderful little gem and I’ve already fallen in love with it. It’s brand new, with just under 400 shots on the shutter count. It arrived with all the accessories except the charger. Instead, there’s a Cellonic charger with two Cellonic batteries, as well as the original battery.

I’ve checked the specifications in the manual and will use a suitable one.

I was just wondering if it’s normal for it not to be included in the box, or if the person who sold it to me simply didn’t put it in. I’ve only just noticed that it wasn’t shown in the product photos.

On the box, I can see a symbol showing a USB power adapter with a line through it.

Another interesting point: it came with a 128GB SanDisk Extreme Pro SD card with a read/write speed of 200MB/s.

I have a Lumix S5II with two cards:

• 64GB 200MB/s
• 64GB 95MB/s (backup).

Given that I’ll only be using the Ricoh on the street for snapshots, I’ve decided to use the 95MB/s one.

From initial tests, there aren’t any noticeable differences, whereas on the Lumix I can really tell the difference in speed, as I use the two cards as my main and backup.

I was just wondering what your experience has been in this regard.

I've updated the firmware and reset the settings to start from scratch.

I can't wait to really get to grips with it.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently processing a large backlog of photos taken with the Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 N, but since I no longer own the lens, I can't generate the calibration data myself.

I use darktable, and unfortunately, this specific lens doesn't have a distortion profile in the Lensfun database yet. Would anyone here who owns this lens be willing to take and upload a few calibration shots?

It’s a quick process, and the instructions are very straightforward on the Lensfun upload page. You'd be doing a huge favor not just to me, but to the whole open-source community!

Thanks in advance!

I’ve noticed that there are adapters available for Pentax 67 medium-format lenses to fit the L-mount. Apart from wondering whether this is actually feasible, I can’t find any photos taken with these lenses and the S5II. I was wondering if anyone uses this type of adapter and would be willing to share some photos.
