I have been buying B+W Multi Resistant Coating filters (MRC), but I wouldn't take my advice on this as I can't find the original comparison test I used to come to that conclusion. It was something...

I bought a filter for my kit lens when I bought the NEX 5N in 2011. In the very first week, I accidentally touched the front element (in this case, the filter) with a finger that had just applied...

Far from a troll. This is a guy who: 1. He's seen these same types of defenses used on other camera systems that clearly had issues with AF speed (e.g., X100, Sigma DP2 Merrill),2. He is getting...

Thanks for starting this topic. I was wondering about the 90 for a little fill flash to use with my Sigma 35 or Canon 50/1.2L in lower light settings. The distances you posted help me as most of my...

I am considering a 90 or 100 macro lens at the moment. I see the Canon 100L version is on sale this month for $899, so I'll most likely get it. But the non L version scores the worst at...

First, I loved the image quality of the RX1. I owned one for 2 months. I had a Nikon D600 at the same time for a spell and now have a Canon 6D and Sigma 35. The reason the RX1 didn't work for me is...

I went to Africa last year and took my NEX 5N and an array of lenses. Honestly, the only time I didn't use my Zeiss 24 was when I forced myself to use another lens just so it wasn't wasted weight...

I'd like to see a bit better center sharpness wide open, though, since that's where I do much shooting. The bigger concern for me is the minimum focusing distance over 1'. I really like the 6" MFD...

I think the strawman generalizations are more than just "part of the problem." ;)

I am not sure why you're asking me as I didn't start it. However, I suspect there are many people like me who are perfectly happy to shoot most of our shots at 35mm who consider the RX1 along with...

Of course. Even with my 6D, I am finding that I shoot using the center focus point more often than not with every intention of cropping later on. Cameras these days provide a lot of room for...

I've had the Nikon D600 and I had the Sony RX1 for 2 months. I now primarily use the Canon 6D and Sigma 35/1.4. I think you would be hard pressed to differentiate a shot with the D600 and Sigma 35...

Gosh, 6 months is a long time. I ended up buying a D600 and having to return it as it arrived with about 15 spots on the sensor. That was the end of Nikon for me. Now, my most frequently used combo...

I have a buddy who is a professional photographer and he shoots events for the city every week and multiple times a week often. He's also the city's Symphony photographer and so on. Those events...

I think this would be a good starting point for helping the OP.

I am with you. I couldn't do the A99 because even a little more loss of light was something I didn't want to give up as an available light shooter (not for the premium price over the 6D, anyway). I...

Well, she friended me on Facebook (we're no longer friends; just long enough to prove to me that I was being dorky doubting her), but I can confirm that her photography improved once she purchased...

Doesn't seem callous to me at all when every single person sending a package can purchase insurance. People who play risky can get burned. My father-in-law farms corn and soybeans. He has the...

Let me stress, the best EVF that Sony makes is pretty incredible these days. And using LV on a Canon does not even come close to giving an approximation to how good it is on Sony. I used an RX1 for...

I think it's also worth pointing out that these two lenses are comparable physically, but quality comparisons have the RX1 lens far ahead of the Canon EF 35/2. For example, DxOMark scores on the...
