Really shocking how people pick up facts from thin air. :P

The Panasonic 12-35mm collects 1 stop more light than the 24-70mm f4 but has less DOF for the same equivalent FOV on FF and about the...

Zeiss doesn't make AF lenses for Canon or Nikon DSLRs since they would have to reverse engineer the AF routines which is not something Zeiss wishes to get into.

In this case Sony and Fuji have...

Ha ha, it was an outdoor wedding ceremony in India and for sure it wasn't lit by candles but the area was large (so flash would have very limited coverage) and there were smaller lights placed...

Actually Pentax had a body without IBIS (K110) though now all Pentax bodies support IBIS.

All Sony bodies have it and there wasn't an exception to that.

However Sony's implementation was...

However IMO the best use of this lens is...

If you don't like it thats fine. Everyone has different tastes and preferences which makes the world a much miore interesting place to live in.

However from what I can tell a lot many people like...

The chances of Pentax informing Sigma that they are making a FF camera is extremely remote if downright impossible considering Pentax doesn't share anything about their lens mount with Sigma and...

IMHO its not correct to compare a 2 stops slower lens to a f1.4 lens.

Hardly anyone 'needs' a f1.4 lens but many people 'like' to have a f1.4 lens and many pros really 'want' a f1.4 lens as it...

I will never buy an RX1 EVER. But I tried it out and was amazed at the sheer compactness of the darn FF camera. The IQ was superb and frankly I can see that it was an extraordinary feat for Sony to...

Too bad Olympus is stuck with a small (relatively) sensor.

Pretty lame FL. For a little more you can get a 50mm f1.8 lens for Sony and a 45mm f1.8 lens for Olympus.

If Sigma made a 70mm or 80mm f2.8 it would have gathered much more attention as neither...

They aren't going to make only one lens MF. If they have the capability to make one AF lens they won't stop with another lens in the same series launched at the same time.

Sony and Fuji have...

Sony has a 10-18mm OSS lens and a 35mm f1.8 OSS lens for E mount. There isn't always a loss of IQ else Canon wouldn't have launched lenses with IS/VR.

The main competitor of the Zeiss 32mm is not the Sigma 30mm f2.8.

People who need a f1.8 lens isn't going to compromise on a f2.8 lens.

The Sigma is no doubt a good lens but Zeiss lenses are...

This digital zoom will offer exactly the same IQ as taking a full res image and cropping it ! There is nothing to be gained in using the digital crop other than getting more photos before the...

Pricing is still a mystery but judging from the MTF charts this has decent center sharpness but borders will be soft unless stopped down.

If this is $2000 then sales for sure will be low as no one...

This lens is a f1.8 lens NOT a f2.8 lens. DOF for sure will be similar but NOT speed. The f1.8 lens will be more than a stop faster which is a big deal for low light shooters.

A group portrait at f1.8 !!! You need to stop down for more DOF for a group portrait.

^^ You still won't have the speed of f1.8. You can raise the ISO but that would result in more noise as well considering todays APS-C sensors are just about a stop behind FF bodies and a lot...
