Interesting lens. It’s just a shame that every Leica press-release prompts: • shock real or faux that there exist lenses over $1000 • indignation that Leica has the gall to charge that for...

Yvonne Venegas’s photo of her father and daughter on pages 4–5 of the X Vario brochure (or page 3 of the PDF) is well worth a look.

I just checked … Lightroom 4 still works!

Let’s be honest: the vast majority of those 90 million were not so much lenses as lens-shaped objects constructed of plastic and tape.

You don’t need to be a professional photographer to enjoy throwing the background out of focus in a portrait, food shot (note the 0.45 m minimum focus distance – this advantage of small sensors is...

More generally, all new lenses are marketing decisions first and foremost. If you can’t profit from a lens there’s little point in making it. The profit might come in a roundabout way via a...

Variable-aperture zooms are variable because of their principle of operation. You can’t necessarily make a zoom of arbitrary range and aperture, like your desired 200-560 mm at f/4-5.6, without...

DPReview isn’t BBC HARDtalk, tough guy. The site did pretty well to ask such questions in the first place. And the answers tell us quite a bit.

For what it’s worth, Ricoh GR Digital IV DNG files look pretty awful after default Aperture conversion (and very different from the in-camera JPEGs, though those are poor in other ways). So I doubt...

And I suppose the answer would be: compared to a lens of the same headline specifications, size, and cost as the LX7 lens, but with everything including distortion corrected optically as well as...

There’s a missing m. Selling film is still a profitable business, after all – just far less so than it once was.

I think the synergy is that both pensioners and Personalized Imaging are heading off into the sunset.

Why does every new Samsung sport yet another design? The company is downright schizophrenic!

Sorry for calling Canada the US in my reply above.

The human fovea has an angle of view of about 2 degrees: much less than a 50 mm-e lens. And as you note, our peripheral vision encompasses vastly more than a 50 mm-e lens. A 50 mm-e lens in no way...

I agree the human eye in no way has a similar angle of view to a 50 mm-e lens (how could anyone who’s ever considered the matter think that?). But nor does it have a similar amount of distortion as...
