DAP Explained


Fall figures
Nikon D3 + Zeiss ZF 18/3.5 Distagon @ f/16

I’ve apparently induced some confusion over DAP (diglloyd’s Advanced Photography). I was certainly exhausted on Wednesday after an unrelenting 9 days of effort to do some behind-the-scenes work for it. In a nutshell, here’s what’s happening:

  • All current free material remains free.
  • This blog will continue just as it has. It is a critical nexus of this site, and I firmly believe that free is good (yet not sufficient).
  • DAP will be my venue for presenting future in-depth tests, evaluations and how-tos; that is why five (5) former Pro Reviews ($115 value) are now part of DAP.
  • The two Guides remain standalone offerings: Zeiss ZF Lenses (“ZF”) and diglloyd Guide to Digital Infrared Photography (“DIP”). Guides may be purchased separately or with DAP.
  • All material is now available online (no download required). At least for a time, ZF and DIP will remain available as the (huge) downloads they’ve always been.
  • For the Guides the intent is that annual renewals will be at a small fraction of the original price. For DAP, renewals are at full price, because you get a year’s worth of new material every year.

I am excited that I can now offer incremental material in DAP, ZF and DIP. For example, Zeiss ZF Lenses should see some new pages this weekend on the 18/3.5 Distagon, and DAP will see new pages as well (probably the Voigtlander lenses I’ve discussed in this blog before).

I would prefer to be able to just give away for free all the material I offer. But that requires a really large reader base (for click-through commissions). I still hope that becomes possible, as it’s a lot less complicated for everyone, a huge win/win. You can help: let people know about this site by linking/posting/etc. Search rankings are in large part a popularity contest!
