One of the good things about that light is that there's no chance of getting red eye when using the on camera flash. It's bright enough to blind the subject thus making their pupils smaller. I...

How funny because I was going to recommend the exact same lens.

I learned photography with a 50mm lens. I learned to "see" with a 50mm so for me, the 50 is ideal. It is definitely one of my most used lens even after a few decades. So I would suggest a 50mm...

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask but I don't know the answer and knew you folks would. Are all mirrorless mounts universal? Would lenses that fit on a Panasonic fit onto a Sony or Olympus? Most of the...

Carrying around a bunch of hardened sand is heavy enough. Can you imagine carrying around a bunch of liquid?

Thank you for the article. It would be interesting and sad if Sony left the electronics market some, I feel, they have been innovators in many of electronics that we used. The problem with Sony is...

Love your Tortue! I would have loved to own one.

Interesting posts. I went to Budapest with my D700 and some really expensive lenses. I thought I had to be careful while walking the streets at night. Nobody cared. I went to Washington DC with...

Here's a difference we all forgot to add, for whatever it's worth which is probably nothing - f/1.8G - made in China f/1.4G - made in Japan

Thanks for the laugh. That was pretty good, especially the last line.

Ken, my 50mm f/1.4G couldn't focus at infinity a couple times when new, but using the lens resolved the issue. Never had that weird problem again. Use your lens a little. Tweak the AF Fine Tune in...

Well said. I was a bit disappointed with the f/1.4G when I got it. I wondered why I paid so much. I went out and took night pictures and saw the purple fringes. I took daylight pictures and saw the...

When I received my 1.4G I too was a bit disappointed because I pointed my camera/lens at my coworker making sure I focused on his eyes and his nose was in focus. After a lot of trial and error I...

Okay, don't buy it then. Did you really need to go on a rant about how your 1.8 is superior? A lot of words have already been written basically saying the same thing. I know it's fun to be...

Wow, you didn't look very...

The negative comments and hatred run deep in this forum. If you ever read a complimentary comment on a picture or a lens, then you KNOW something is right. That said, I love my 28-300 lens. It may...

Now that's interesting information. I never knew that. Thanks.

Oh that's so sad. When someone goes out of their way to do something nice how hard is it to spend 2 seconds to say thank you and maybe a handshake? I hate when that doesn't happen.

Nah, it was all good. He wasn't anywhere near where I was when I was overheating my units. Also, if he was near me and I saw him taking pictures I'd stop or leave the room. The reason was that he...

500mm f/4p?
