  • I'm sure they'll release in Sony and K mount eventually. It would be silly for a breakthrough lens design for APS-C systems to not be available for the solely APS-C namebrand, and Sony is big...
  • Don't know about you guys, but for me there are several very practical reasons. I take landscape/nature shots mostly. And all of this is with the expectation that any FF Pentax that is released...
  • IMO there is no better lens covering the normal zoom range for K-mount than the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8. Pentaxforums comparison of this with the DA* 16-50 and Tamron 17-50, dxomark's analysis,...
  • If you want a really high IQ "walk-around" zoom at a good price, your solutions are: Pentax 17-70mm f/4 Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 The kit lens is actually okay considering it's like an extra $100 with...
  • Replied in D7100
    But see, who the hell would buy that? At a certain point the number of features just becomes completely exorbitant and unnecessary. Furthermore, even all of those things wouldn't come close to...
  • Replied in D7100
    I think it would be a quite poor business move to pair a $2000 APS-C model against the $1200 D7100. That makes absolutely no sense to me. Crop camera specs can only go so far and I couldn't imagine...
  • Commented on Theme and Variations article

    Damn straight. I live in CT, go to school in another northeastern city, and it's very difficult to find worthwhile places for landscape photos. We have some traprock ridges out here but they're...

  • Replied in Something odd
    Okay, bro.Even though I already posted two additional 50mm photos at f/2.8, same problem. I would post more but the others I took were deleted in-camera because, zooming to 100% in live preview,...
  • Have two more. First with same set up, second with different one (second set up was kind of dumb though; also excuse the personal to-do list). Tripod, remote shutter, focus kept constant for each...
  • I highly suggest the FA 35 f/2 and F 50 f/1.7. The f/2 IMO is a worthwhile step up from the DA f/2.4 in terms of subject isolation and it's super sharp even wide open. Stopped down it's razor...
  • You complete moron. It WAS TAKEN ON A TRIPOD WITH REMOTE SHUTTER! What do you want from me? Do you want a picture of the tripod? I don't know what else to tell you. As you can see from the other...
  • It is not soft due to camera movement, and the camera is ​not ​at an angle. I made sure to be precise in positioning the camera, and I tried three separate times with a remote shutter, camera...
  • By the way, here are reviews from photozone and dxomark that agree with my personal...
  • You tell me to stop reading reviews, and then try to convince me that the 17-50 sucks with a review, not even mentioning the 16-50 which is what we were originally comparing it to. I in fact have...
  • I mistyped the 50-200. And the 18-50 is a completely different lens with much, much poorer performance. I for one wasn't willing to put up with eye-gouging chromatic aberration and mediocre...
  • To elaborate a bit on my rant: The DA 77mm f/1.8 vs. Nikon's and Canon's 85mm f/1.8. The DA* 55mm f/1.4 vs. Nikon and Canon 50mm f/1.4. The DA* 16-50 f/2.8 vs. Sigma/Tamron/Canon/Nikon 17-50 f/2.8....
  • A few things:Photozone follows a different rating system than most sites, in that 3/5 stars on any figure would actually be "average" whereas below is poor, and above is good. I find this...
  • 35mm primes is an area where Pentax has no problems. I think you have two choices, both of them excellent and quite cheap.The DA 35mm f/2.4 is your most obvious option, and it's pretty much tack...
  • Sager makes customizable gaming laptops that can come with 95% NTSC (which is pretty much 100% AdobeRGB and sRGB) Full HD panels. Granted, they are TN displays so viewing angles won't be great.The...
  • Replied in Zenbook 32VD
    Do you mean the Asus Zenbook UX32VD? I was pretty much set on getting this until I found this review:...
