Kinda shocked how much lens quality matters. I forget.
Left is a vintage zoom vs. a standard canon kit lens. Same focal length, aperture, etc. The sharpness is nicer, but the blur is too! Look at that smeary, smudgy canon bokeh 🥀

Vintage lenses sometimes have cemented lens groups, using Canada Balsam - from trees. It goes bad, becomes hazy, rainbowy, and needs fixing.
Today we test if mineral oil can suffice as a replacement. Long term? Who knows! Right now? Yes. It somehow does.

The Macbook Neo is wonderful, purely due to a low end device potentially forcing Apple to optimize macOS for once.

Canva buying Cavalry (unsure if it'll be free) is painting an exciting future for me as an Affinity lover. And moreso as an Adobe hater.
