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...

@Entropy512.
You are quite right, I misread your sentence (on my mobile). Apologies.

@Entropy512
"using a screen recorder meant for mobile phones"
I use the standard windows 10 xbox PVR funtion to screenrecord with audio movies upto 4 hours in full hd mp4 format. It is meant for...

@Fotogeneticist.
I am also a big fan of High speed sync.
Used it a lot in the film days on my Rollei 35s and Mamiya C330.
Fortunately, I now have a high speed sync flash on my Sony A7R. But it...

I concur, however, the notable exception is Sigma.
If they had a short flange mirror less camera, some people would have considered it as a low iso landscape camera solution with adapted lenses.

Hi Jaykumarr, I am certainly not a canon hater. I have one myself. I Just like history of technology. I also don't see why people need to defend or attack certain brands. I use Canon and Sony and...

Actually the real first af slr was the Polaroid SX-70 Sonar instant film SLR, with a sonar echo-ranging system, of 1978....

Minolta dynax (or maxum) 7000. First AF slr.

@Photato,
I agree and yes I have grown up :)
My last smart phone with user replaceable battery was the BQ Aquarius 5.7 inch android phone, which I gave to my wife and after 4 years still no need to...
