The irregularities have to do with the subject matter, not something inherent to the lens. And that image certainly sells me on the quality of that lens!

Ok, shall we talk about horizontal, vertical, or diagonal field of view? How does this work with images of different aspect ratios?

Focal length and aperture work just fine, thank you. They are...

OH, sorry about my earlier comment--I thought I had seen sample pics from this lens, but what I had seen were just more 45mm samples. Lets hope this exceeds the quality of those! I'm not sure why...

A review of the AF capabilities: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRyQU6XCQt0

Er, a little OT, but I have to say I'm surprised at what it CAN'T do so far. I'm not impressed with the detail at high iso--color is too smudged. It's a solid idea, but I'm not seeing any...

As a pro, I have to agree to a point: it's distracting to your subject at times. The look of gear IS actually important in getting candid shots. And this would be useless for street...

Apparently, some people are ok with numbers, but don't know how to read. (Isn't there an entire 29 pages of review preceding the "score"?)

...meh, I kinda wonder if it's a bit intentional. It gets buzz/views/drives Amazon click through sales.

People want to worry and measurebate. The market and manufacturers encourage this.

But...

The forums here (read: the whiny pants complaint department) is NOT a valid measure of the quality of a camera.

My experience is that the split seems pretty even for Pros these days. Canon's wide...

...I would venture a guess that some of the nice glass of late is thanks to Hoya as well.

...but stills cameras have had video for quite a while. See: P&S cams

Yes, people are taking too long getting married these days.

...I dunno. I found a bunch of gps tagged pics by gps enabled P&S cams online. Dunno that the NKs would confiscate a DSLR just because of GPS. More likely they'd just confiscate it for being a...

Yes, one FPS makes a difference when we're talking about starting at 4fps. That's a 25% increase!

Sorta like, the difference between a 45mm and a 50mm lens is negligible. But the difference...

I wonder how it compares to this: http://www.jenoptik-inc.com/coastalopt-standard-lenses/uv-vis-nir-60mm-slr-lens-mainmenu-155/80-uv-vis-ir-60-mm-apo-macro.html

Methinks, from a technical...

Possibly 200:50 with the Coastal optics lens I posted above...

I can. They've been very busy working on raw support for the SD-1 and XPro1.

...uh, on the final "Conclusions" page DPR states:

"Relatively slow 4 fps continuous shooting in FX mode (5 fps with optional battery grip)"

This implies that you can get 5fps in FX mode with the...

3968 * 2976 = 11.8mp ≠ 12mp

Methinks somebody failed their maths.

Not that it really makes a big difference, but geez, what's wrong with just saying 11.8? Or 11? O noes, can't have a weird low...
