Is this a serious comment?

In most kits it will be a highly regarded specialty lens. I absolutely love mine but it will never be my most used lens for all the obvious reasons.

@mfinley - Perhaps it's time for you to do a little growing up and stop pretending that you are in a position to lecture folks here on the right and wrong way to pursue photography.

Incidentally -...

LOL - stay off the forums until you've come to terms with your gear. PS - I'll contribute a thousand pounds to your favorite charity if you can provide a single link to a respected reviewer that ...

I'd change that sig of yours.   It does you no favors.

One of the most laughable comments I've seen on DPR (and I've been here since 2002).

Interesting. Do you have images to share that would support your notion that Fuji apsc "blows Sony out of the water"? I might be wrong but it sounds like nonsense. Convince me and I'll put my Sony ...

Says the guy that crops everything to 1:1 for Instagram. LOL.

I not sure you understand.

"I just looked up and discovered what zebras are. What an utterly silly name when something like hatched would do. On Fast Raw Viewer there are options to turn that on...

The problem is that software provides "after the fact" information.

The zebras provide a "real time" analysis of your exposure.

Once you gain experience with them you really don't have to...

You can utilize zebras on the Sonys to determine raw clipping. Far easier to use than the tiny histogram.

We may be talking about different things but when I see that shimmer I know my focus is spot on. I actually use it as I feature with MF.

In my opinion one will prove redundant for most people most of the time.

The lenses that work well for you at home will work equally well anyplace else. What prime do you enjoy in your nearest city? If you are looking to capture a particular shot in a particular place ...

I think it had images from Iceland?

I use a Novoflex. No question that Canon lenses work better on the Sonys as "smart adapters" can pass lens info to the EXIF file. No manual smart adapter for Nikon exists; not sure why. You also ...

You are either a low-volume fine art professional or a hobbyist with a lot of time on your hands....
