To be honest, I like the look. Actually, I like the look of most Fuji cameras. And this comes from a Sony shooter (Nex7 and A7R). If at the time of buying the NEX7 the Fuji aps camera had both...

@Fezhat. But sharper than some lenses.

I picked the Nikkor ai 105 f4 macro. This design works better on bellows when going beyond 1:1. It stays at 105mm even at close up and has therfore one of the longer working distances for a 105....

It has no a-peel.

And so are the cards.

@S Yu: I bought a lightweight hot shoe rangefinder for next to nothing. I used this only for close range and f4 or f2.8. basically overlap the double image till it was a single image. Read the...

Oh yes. I always had the Rollei 35SE with me. Shot slide film with it.
Even though focus was distance guessing, i had it setup in snapshot mode at f8 and was often quicker to use than my later...

It has been tested on this site on an A7lll.

Apparently quite good and good value.
I am not sure how the AF will perform on...

@brendon1000
Ah yes. It must have been a m43 camera.

If Sigma were to make an e-mount Foveon camera, the sales of their cameras would surely improve. If only to be able to adapt all sorts of exotic lenses for low iso landscape work. Not sure if there...

EVF in extreme macro with bellows, or in low light is so much better than OVF.
I put my canon fd 85mm f1.2 on my a7r and could focus on my horse in the paddock during the night. I could not even...

@KURSUN: A lot of latest tech is not build very well, and capacitors are the main culprit, even when they are within spec. My LG 37 inch fhd tv also had blown capacitors after 5 years. Similarly,...

I was thinking exactly that!

@kevin.
I understood that the demosaicing process of a Bayer sensor (guessing colours) introduces some softness. Even without AA filter.
You have more chance with the latest sensor pixel shift...

Looks a bit like my Minolta 70-210mm f4 beercan. Now going strong on my a7r.
I only paid 50 euros for it though. My copy is amazing. But I wish it had less purple fringing in high contrast...

That would be a good range.
28-75 is a bit compromised either side for me.
For me it needs to b a minimum 28-85, which was a common range in the olden days, but not often in f2.8.
I use the...

The problem with modern macro lenses is with this floating rear elements and the fact they reduce the focal length when focusing close up. This reduces the working distance significantly. This...

@Angrymagpie.
That I concur with. So if the motor fails in 10 years time you can still use it. At least that is what I assume.

@hypnotictortoise
Part of the same problem old grease and dust I think. The exposure times longer than 1/30 use a different timing mechanism. I had my 35se professionally cleaned 18 years ago. The...

@hypnotictortoise
Thanks for that link.
I see that their reincarnation of the Rollei 35S costs about 4000 euro with some replica of the sonnar 40mm f2.8.
I keep hold of my original Rollei35s and...
