Yes, it's the color.  Years ago at an ISCC color conference I hear an excellent lectore by Dr. R. W. G. Hunt of Kodak UK in which he persuasively argued that the goal of (film) color rendering...

Calumet is a good outfit - I bought my Pentax K20D from them 5 years ago.

...and it's a magnificent lens in all of my initial tests.  I'm delighted with it and the ability at last to have AF at FLs greater than 60mm.  I think I could shave with this lens...

I've had no problems cancelling or modifying an order with BH in the past - they seem to pride themselves on offering good customer service.

Gee, I ordered my copy on April 17th - I can't imagine that you didn't get a place in line.  If I were you, I'd call BH again and push your issue up the CS chain.

Good for you!  There is more to photography than hyper-sharp and high contrast images - old glass can be a revelation , an old/new way of seeing... I love my old Leica and Pentax lenses because...

I think you are missing the advantage that the Fuji M adapter allows the user to make image corrections (pincushion adjustment, vignetting correction, colored corners correction) in-camera.  Of...

I wonder why they are in such short supply in Canada?  All the major US retailers have this lens in stock, and there are many new  as well as used copies on eBay as well.

You shouldn't be surprised at the excellent performance of the Tamron 90mm macro.  Many of us in this forum have used (and praised) it for years. As a lens collector, I've collected two of the...

But the 56 and the 60 are entirely different lenses in terms of what they will do.  The 60/2.4 is a super-sharp medium speed macro, which although it can be used for portraits is not particularly...

Me too! Can't wait to get my hands on it - I was at my 50th college reunion this last weekend and would really have liked having it it along to complement my 18-55, which lived on the X-E1 for...

I just received an email saying that my copy was in transit and will arrive on Wednesday. Soon I will be able to see what all the fuss is about. I'm REALLY looking forward to this lens!

Bill, we are in the same boat.  I shot with Pentax for 5 decades and still use my K5 IIs when I want/need DSLR capabilities, but the Fuji X-E1 and its excellent glass are my everyday go-to system....

While the 56/1.2 will undoubtedly be an excellent lens, be prepared to pay big bucks for it, and it will be bigger/heavier than the 60/2.4.  Just sayin'...

I tried to change the screen in my K-5 but could not get the frame to latch into place.  In the end, I damaged my camera (mangled the frame) and had to send it to CRIS for repair. Fortunately they...

DPR's photo is of a pre-production copy of the 55-200; why not wait for the production version to see if the fusion line is visible?

Thanks; this tip will solve a lot of focusing problems for me.

Great color; nicely seen. Thanks for sharing!

LOL!  You are right; the Tinfoil Hat Brigade of conspiracy theorists can never be convinced that any commercial organization can have integrity and be unbiased.  You just have to ignore those...
