IIRC the main "complication" of the f2 zooms (and the new Sigma f1.8 zoom) is that they are FF designs with "speed booster" groups applied at the rear end. I can only assume it was easier to...

Olympus has the OMD EM5 for just about that price... and it has the added benefit (beyond an IBIS DSLR) of a stabilized viewfinder, and rotational stabilization around the lens axis. It also has a...

wherever Adobe wants it to go. "Pray I don't alter it any further"
Not living in America, I never have had the Hulu/Netflix/AmazonOnline choice for movies and TV, so (in my other major hobby) I...

I'm still wondering where a 100/1.4 is. Nobody has one (ever?), so we have to choose 85 if we want f1.4+ speeds or 135mm / 200mm if we want to maintain 72mm+ aperture in a "portrait" lens. I...

Which means it is possible to fit the camera in a side pocket of your bag (pouch?) for a backup / second (third?) body. Going mostly to m43 has made multiple camera setups routine (UWA and...

A problem inherent to the SLR paradigm... which the Olympus / Olympus OP clearly demonstrates :p

telephoto -> wide angle in descending order.
Pretty much the same on every system in my experience.

A 12/2.8 for $1300 when there is already a great 12/2 for around half? A 32/1.8... an odd focal length on m43... when there is a 25/1.4 going for about a third? Touit, no reason to bother (which...
-
and since there are no f8 lenses for m43, nor the tele-converters to get there, nor fixed "limits" on CDAF operation at smaller apertures...

"at f/2 Canon is pretty lousy" There is a first time for everything

The Zeiss is faster at focusing...?
-
At this point it's hardly even Granny Smith vs. Red Delicious.
-
I think that it matters who makes the sensors... but I also think (Sony) 16MP m43 got us past the point where I long for better DR or high-ISO results. More pixels would be nice though. A 5D mk4...
-
Sony/Pentax mount pending you might get your wish (+ a couple hundred for one of the entry level bodies)... the sensor is so good in those APS-C cameras, it would be an even better lowlight...
-
Can be used, yes. This new lens will address a shortcoming of APS-C cameras in that wide FL fast lenses (faster than f2.8) do not exist period. To have format friendly prime lens capabilities in...
-
Considering how there aren't any f1.8 (or faster) primes from 18-23mm, no EF-S or anything else (thanks Canon), let alone the cost savings from skipping the 20/1.8, 24/1.4, 28/1.8, 30/1.4, 35/1.4,...
-
The Sigma is retrofocus to clear the flange distance of the longest DSLR mount (Nikon?), and appears to be a FF design with a focal length condenser group thrown in (ala the Olympus 14-35 and...
-
They could make a 12-35 constant f1.8 and have it be a fraction of the size due to the lack of a mirror and smaller sensor (coverage)... but it would be insanely expensive as a first-party lens...
-
Its a Panasonic "thang." In the US and Japan (mostly in the latter, since the start even) a year into the life of any camera will see prices fall to under 1/2 their starting point. The GH3 will...
-
Not "better" than the new 30/1.4 (which was designed for crop cameras) but the Sigma 35/1.4 is another option with f1.4 which is fantastic wide open... unlike the Canon 28/1.8. The 35L is also...
