Kali108

OP (TThorne)...the latest shoot out at another site clearly demonstrates advantages for the x trans. You appear to be doing more than your fair share of "ignoring" reports and samples. The...

I agree 100%.

At 2.8, the lens is certainly acceptably sharp for most applications, but compared to what? At f4, it is significantly sharper....just as the Zeiss is sharper stopped down as well...same goes for...

Well, my experience and conclusions certainly differ. D800 body. I haven't used the Tamron 90mm VC Macro.  I would not be surprised if it was a great alternative....has VC, which is certainly...

save your pennies for the 85 f1.8G.  50 f1.8G in the meantime.

Yep, it hurts... and yet truer words have not been typed within dpreview forums.

Having owned both..easy...the Sigma. Priced the same? Again, the Sigma. What advantages the Nikon may have, flare for example, are quite subtle compared to the advantages of the Sigma imo. Factor...

+1 !! Or get the Zeiss 25 f2.

Man.  My head says, keep my 14mm, get the 24mm and 56mm...dump my 35 and 60. Result: 14, 24,56, Zeiss 100 f2 kit.  The 60...a relunctant "ok", but the 35?! I love that lens.  It's only money.

Are you Mac or PC? If you drop adobe, I think you'll have to use Nik Collection as plugins within Aperture, which is Mac only.  *Maybe* older Nik installers as stand alone apps? Photoshop...

Bronica SQ-Ai..yep.  Just as I love my RZ67...big negs are the ticket.

OP...thanks for sharing the images. And it is nice to see the X-Pro1 used in action photography. That said, the X-Pro1 wouldn't be the tool of choice for sports photography.

dotborg...it isn't vitriol. It's calling you out on your BS. You claimed x trans raw converters were using median filters to give "false impressions" of low noise. I and others have pointed out...

The "evidence" (your link) you provide appears to be one you created from a comparison by dpreview's site. This only supports what many Fuji x trans users have been saying all along...that using LR...

The Fuji "hype" for me is...having the IQ of a Nikon D600 (I sold mine) in a small, light weight package. Allowing me to get images from subjects I would not get otherwise, due to the intimidation...

If evidence matters to you, your "perspective" is the outlier, blatantly so.  A rational person would reassess.  Your choice.

So the consensus is.."meh"? Really? Hmm. A company provides you with access to observe the realtime working process of very successful photographers with decades of experience... for free... and...
