Thanks!

I'd buy this lens for indoors pictures of my kids. I need a wide and fast lens. My ideal lens would be a prime 18-20mm F2. But this zoom is also appealing. Sadly, the pictures in your gallery are...

they missed the opportunity to make them weatherproof, to match their bodies.
What a disappointment!

Great photo. It puts you there, as if you were a commuter. It brings a sense of participation from the viewer.

nor am I necessarily interested in technical perfection. I'm not bashing Fuji here. I'm just interested what images would look like at ISO 200 in various conditions. For instance, did you notice...

Great set! Though, I find the noise excessive for an ISO 200 photo in quite good light, in the photo bellow. If you look at it at 100%, boy, that's noisy and so much detail is lost. Can you comment...

I just remembered about the new zoom announced by Sigma and it strikes me that, at least in K mount, the new zoom might make this lens uncompetitive - hence prices might drop? Here's a...

By "not too bulky" I had in mind a lens not bigger than the current 31mm F 1.8, that is full frame. Isn't it possible to produce a 18mm F2 lens, DX/APS-C-format, the maximum size of the 31? For...

I need a wide bright lens for interiors. For instance an 18mm F2. Not to bulky, though ... otherwise, the new zoom from Sigma might do the job. And, If I were Pentax, I would redesign the old...

you're still asking for the impossible. A compact which has most of the things that you require but is not weather-proof is Fuji X20. You cans till male a camera close to your requirements in the...

Yes, only that true enthusiasts are an endangered species. Their number is shrinking each day ..

If others are interested in this comparison: size & weight - wise, differences are irrelevant between these cameras: http://camerasize.com/compare/#372,462 And I was wrong, autofocus fine...

What do you mean by "better"?  Brighter? Better focus screen? Spec-wise, they seem similar ... That's good news!

Hello I'm a pentax shooter. I'm still using my K10D, although rarely, with prime lenses (31 & 77 Lims). In the last years I had very little time for photography, and I found compact cameras more...

Indeed, my experience also.
I haven't carried my Pentax K10D and 31 and 77 lenses with me for years (not months). Not only that compacts are so good now, they also have decent video now. Since...

Good point about these image quality considerations! On the other hand, one has to rely on their appreciations of the prints, which might be not only subjective, but relying on different criteria,...

New review of Oly XZ-2 on imaging resource: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/olympus-xz2/olympus-xz2A.HTM Seems very favourable!

Somebody, few months ago, provided a link to a patent filled by Oly for some very fast lens for a compact camera. Something like F1.4-1.9, if I remember correctly. That might be a hint for the...

An 27-125mm equiv. constant F2 lens. But, since we're not supposed to dream here, the actual lens is ok. The actual sensor is ok, maybe tweaked for better high ISO and better DR. Better focus. Tilt...
