The electrical contacts between lenses and bodies are usually kept
clean by the mounting and dismounting process. Each time you turn a
lens towards the lock position, or away from it, it wipes clean the
contacts by a very small amount. So, a seldomly mounted or changed
lens only gets cleaned seldom

I’m checking up on virtual copies in Lightroom, which Larry brought to my
attention in an earlier post in this thread. I think a virtual copy of an edit
gives you a copy of the
RAW, not RSE. Typing on a phone doesn’t work well for we fat fingered fellows,

I’m sure you can do a second edit of your RSE file. I don’t use Lightroom; I
work solely in photoshop and retain all my RAW files. If I want to start from

conversion. That takes me back to step one. I can then do a new c

Thank you, Bob. It's fun to use but not that simple to get useable
images. A little of the OOF effect goes a long way, and as usual I
struggle with subtlety. ;)
The model herself loves that shot. One of her friends declared it's
now his favourite portrait of her.
