Take a real world example: my pocketable setup of Zuiko 40/1.4 and a6000. Since pocketability is the whole point, it makes total sense to have several 43mm slim filters (which will stack when not...

>You can always use an adapter ring if you don't have a lens with a 67mm, 77mm or 82mm filter size Maybe it's just me, but this recent trend does no service to either the customer or the...

I've tried 70mm F2.8 awhile ago, and that one seemed to work fine on 16Mp sensor: https://www.flickr.com/photos/curry-hexagon/48699423277/in/album-72157710751958066/

Add Zonlai 22/1.8 and TTArtisan 23/1.4 to the list. As to which one is better, that depends on the circumstances and personal preferences.

Yeah, this is crazy. If someone would have told me a year ago COVID-19 will straight up murder Sony aps-c camera division, I would have never believed that.

Minolta never made a 55/1.4. Other than that, bokeh quality of Minolta 55mm series is among the very best there is. I have all four of them, though 55/1.8 is unused and still awaiting service, and ...

I haven't seen a single adapter with a removable lip. The screws are there for the rotational alignment of the threaded insert.

Geometry-wise, the task is no different than shooting and stitching a panorama. I've done similar thing before and I believe Hugin has an exact manual for this type of shoot somewhere. Lightning ...

I own that one too. It's head and shoulders above any vintage 28/2.8 in both bokeh quality and wide open resolution. https://www.flickr.com/photos/curry-hexagon/albums/72157676559371347 However, ...

If you are after portraits, cross every single vintage 50/1.4 from your list. The most beautiful vintage portrait IQ from this list would be courtesy of MC Rokkor 58/1.4 stopped down to F2.8. Runne ...

As a general rule of the thumb, resolution and flare resistance will be better with modern lenses. Geometry, field flatness and color are better with the old ones. Yesteryear lenses ergonomic is ...

Wow, that 90mm F2.8 is really something. I don't think I ever saw an ~85mm with such a low bokeh quality.
-
In this particular case this is likely fine. This thing is (supposedly) designed for high-torque direction reversal.

Now that does look like something mildly interesting as opposed to Topaz AI. Would be fun to watch how this perform in a new wave of remastered old footage.

I have this one and used it on APS-C. Here is my short review in the comment section of this article: https://phillipreeve.net/blog/review-laowa-33mm-0-95-cf-aps-c/#comment-204095

I see. I certainly don't subscribe to "things (or people) have to be photographed the way I see it". Eyes and camera are different optical systems and I see no reason to strive for any kind of ...
-
No idea what that is. Care to demonstrate how you use it when shooting portraits?
-
Why should I include both eyes into the focus plane? And yet, looking for lenses instead of looking for/at people is the most common fallacy I personally encounter on the web.

The one I have on the camera. It really is that simple. I've shot my portraits with relatively wide variety of glass: https://www.flickr.com/photos/curry-hexagon/albums/72157692098925240 Chances ...

@DerGatekeeper Thanks for the article. Do tell us how the 50/0.95 will treat you. If I may forward a suggestion: some bokeh shots at various focus distances will provide readers with lots of...
