Now that's a solid repurposing. They would also be useful if someone wanted to make a bomber with optical sights.

BTW, I covet your car.

It's a cool project, but you lost me at the digital camera interface. The ground glass is a focusing screen; it is NOT meant to transduce photos of any quality. You might as well put a Leica lens...

This is excellent news for GIMP and RawTherapee.

Sigma has more or less fully stocked a line of primes for people who want something better than their zoom and can't spend a lot of money.  Picky people who demand the best features will sniff at...

The 50mm/1.8 design was perfected in Europe when Edithh Piaf was still releasing singles. The only cost in making one of those is adapting the lens mount, designing a pretty shell and finding the...

A distance scale would certainly set it apart from every other lens for either of these systems.

A distance scale would certainly set it apart from every other AF lens for either of these systems.

Excellent news for both systems. m4/3 has a new entry level prime at a useful FL and NEX has a new prestige lens (since the usual few will pay the usual, huge, premium for a Zeiss lens).

The capture parameters (f/stop and shutter speed at constant ISO) are f/1.8. The DOF is what you would get if you took at picture at f/1.8 and then cropped it to about .62 of its area. That looks...

BUT what is its equivalence to a 4x5 view camera? To the Hubble telescope? This report is woefully inadequate.

It reflects the relative health of m4/3, and NEX, that both systems have bodies (and lenses) for everyone from a semi-pro to point-shooters who want to update their Facebook wall. That said, for...

Great news for micro 4/3. Sounds like a killer app for people who want to do great video with minimal (sized) gear. The GH2 will do just fine, since this little thing does not look like a great...

Speaking as someone who got married in enzed and does not disagree about any of the macho stuff, I think it is a little hasty to lump hunters together. A lot of Americans who live outside the city...

But are they good for hunting the most dangerous game? Not buying one until I get an answer from Nikon.
