It will be my people lens for Dances and other similar events nice lens heavy but worth it, Before this I had the consumer grade 55-200 its just nothing compared to this baby.

I have noticed some dirt/dust with this lens its so clear and bright that I can now see some dirt in the view finder but it does not appear on any photos and is still there with other lenses if you look hard so I'll have to sit down and work out where I need to clean.

I think that dust would be located on the mirror that reflects light up to the view finder.

Not necessarily on the mirror. I have some dust on my viewfinder as well, got inside the body during a lens change in the wind. Been meaning to take the rocket blower to it. That said, 40D's pentaprism design probably blocks dirt getting on the inside of the VF...but it can probably get on the prism. Dust can get everywhere :p

My wife went to church music/worship practise and I was doing the soundboard. After the sound board was setup my contribution to the music was gone so I broke out the camera :) The light in the church was very yellow because of the yellow stain glass and incandescent lights so I decided to play around in LR2 to see if I could come up with something more interesting.

I was bored, and I took a couple sample shots with my old (new to me) SMC Takumar f/1.4/50 on my Pentax dSLR. I like my m42 lenses, but using them with the smaller OVF, and without a splitscreen is hard. I like the one of my dog a lot though, it really captures her personality.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
