As you may have noticed, I did not claim that there is some magic in rendering from 35/1.4. In fact, I was pretty clear that the magic is elsewhere.

Of course it is magical! Because it's unique! It's the only lens in existence for Fujifilm X-mount that has all three: (1) very small size and very low weight, (2) fast aperture, and (3) AF. No ...

Beautiful and very capable camera, for sure. But for me it's certainly much too heavy and large, not to mention none of the existing Nikon Z lenses have a dedicated and marked aperture ring, which ...

Out of all who answered we got 13 users who lean toward EVF more (57%) and 10 who prefer OVF (43%). I feel there is a substantial market for a new Fuji camera that would take X100V form factor, add ...

I realize that you are talking about road cycling and road cyclists typically are against strapping any kind of bags to their bikes, stuffing everything into jersey pockets instead. However, I ...

I'm using mine on Fuji X-T2 and it's not bad. Yes, it's soft with low contrast wide open but gets better once stopped down to f/2. These are 100% crops: OOC JPEG at f/1.4 OOC JPEG at f/2.0

That's the weirdest comment ever. It's like complaining that small trucks exist if there are 18-wheelers to do the job.

The organic body of Jordan Drake should win over some soulless digital one!

April 1st is not until 2 weeks from now. Stop fooling around!

I can't believe people would choose a soulless object over Jordan Drake.

I have a weird feeling Jordan Drake is going to win this whole thing.

That's the direction I would like XPro line to go. The main reason I'm interested in XPro line is its rangefinder-like design. The main reason I'm NOT interested in XPRo line is its size. It's ...

So if there is no difference in "size, cost, and image quality in comparison to today's full frame offerings" then why would you need full frame? All things being equal I go with a camera that I...

Why not? This is likely the best camera you can have in your pocket so why not make it prettier? $150 more than a standard one is a modest charge for a unique look, a strap and a dedicated case....

Pretty wild to compare two dramatically different prime lenses for different applications and choose "the better one". How do you even assess, which product is best if you never had a chance to...

Yes! Curious to see how this will compare with my oldie Pentax MX.

No, not all the time. Most of the time I shoot with a bare lens. I use Pro-Mist frequently on cloudy or foggy days to "add extra fog" to pictures. But it also works nice for indoor portraits or in ...

I can't speak about 18mm f/2, but since you are also asking about 35mm f/1.4, here are a few examples. These are with Tiffen Black Pro-Mist 1/4. I really like this added softness and I don't think ...

I like very compact cameras too. But in my case, I gave up on zoom entirely and kept all the image quality.
