Let us someday compare the Sigma (810g autofocus but no stabilization) on any APS-C versus the Zeiss 35mm F2.0 (530g pure brass & glass - no autofocus or stabilization) on the Nikon D800. With...

The Fuji lineup looks wonderful but a tad expensive.
Maybe it could be compared to the Nikon 70-200mm F4 ?
On the D600 the combo is 1606 grams ~3,5 pounds vs. the 2 pound Fuji-combo.

Hi, I have the D800 with the Nikon 70-200mm F4 + nikon TC1,7x. What works? Everything: VR, autofocus, manual focus is still easy with the viewfinder magnifier in place and the eyecup (must-have...

Cropped even more:

This is a cropped image (12Mpix) from a 36Mpix image at 200mm ( no TC ) Nikon 70-200mm F4 VR handheld shot

Hi, A great set of 3 lenses for the "F4 guy" (me): I have the 24-85mm VR - and the VR sets it apart as a great lens for handheld video. The sharpness is more than enough for video and the VR makes...
