LOLOL @ $100. Yep

Hallelujah brother. Shoot what you got and can afford. A pro can make great images with junk.....amateurs need to get real.

Fabulous. Thanks for giving the "gotta have a d800 /Leica M9 / cannon 5Dm III with $50,000 dollars worth of glass in an infantry-sized backpack to take engaging photos these days..." crowd here on...

this "slow auto-focus" stuff is crap, and yet so many buy into it in search of the Holy Grail. "Slow" auto-focus by today's standards in equipment costing thousands of dollars is defined in...

I believe by now Tamron is every bit the common "brand", along with Sigma and Tokina. Years ago all three were making less-expensive and perhaps lower-quality product but each have been making...

some humans apparently can't adapt to simple things.

such utter nonsense. If the current Nikon or the tamron lens aren't making magically perfect photos for you it's not the equipment-- it's the photographer with the problem. If it's all about razor...

of course it is, assuming you're ballhead is rated for something more than just a point-n-shoot camera. the combined weight of this lens and a XE-1 or X-Pro1 isn't more than a few pounds, and any...

Because it works fine for the purpose it's intended for, and ends up being much smaller, lighter, and cheaper than some humongous f2.8 image stabilized full-frame lens. I think that's a good reason...

The Fuji X-series cameras and lenses are mirrorless compact cameras, not full-size / full-frame DSLRs, so why you'd be looking for a comparison between this lens and a $2000 Nikor 70-200 f2.8 is...

Actually, Elements 11 is pretty darned robust and probably every bit as useful as CS versions for many. People poo-poo it based on what it was years ago, but it's actually a better photo editor...

That is exactly what will happen. OR...they'll find a way to sell a "lite" version with no subscription.

LMAO!
Too good, so true.
Best post here -- thanks.

Aww... Poor art-inhibited pixel-peepers you two are. If you can't see the difference in the work this guy produces with a go-pro vs a run-of-the-mill dslr or other cam you just don't get it. If he...

If Car A goes 0-60 in 5 seconds and Car B goes 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, Car A must suck and I'm selling my Car A to buy Car B. We live in a day and age where the "best" of something today WILL...

All of these awesome "smaller" APS-C and 4/3 camera systems are VERY expensive for those already vested in DX or FX full-sized systems. Cost increases even more when adding options like hand grips,...

what *many* of you ding dong, pixel-peeping nerds need to do is check out what a REAL pro photographer can do with this camera that you can't, because you're too busy looking for something that...
