There's no denying that there are some great benefits of having a lens this fast. But at the same time with great power comes great responsibility, i.e. you really need to know how to use it...

Simple: 1)  Fill the gaps in the existing prime lens lineup. I think we have enough primes to cover 16-50mm range. We need lenses like 70/2, 135/2.8 with teleconverter option and some other longer ...

I really like how visually different Nikon and Fuji version of 23/1.4 is, despite the same optical design. This makes them match corresponding cameras perfectly. Shows C/V's dedication to detail,...

I'm not interested in the current Sigma for X trio, but I do hope that Sigma will develop lenses Fuji doesn't make, such as 70/1.8, 135/2.8 that can take an extender or even a small-ish 200/4.

No. The complain was this: "Die Menschen erwarten, dass die GR trotz der Größe und des Gewichts eine allumfassende Kamera ist", which means that people expected a do-it-all camera,...

Maybe yes, maybe no. What I know that after 3 years of shooting with Fuji camera only, I bought Ricoh GRIII as a secondary pocket cam and - there you go, moire came back. This is when I realized...

What is the brand/model of that square hood you have on XF14/2.8? X-E4 is a fine camera. If only that EVF was larger.

That's the unfortunate problem with Fuji. They have 6 camera lines with EVFs (not counting EVF+OVF): X-T200, X-T30, X-E4, X-S10, X-T4, X-H1 and only 2 of them have decent size viewfinders for ...

The mythical XF70/2 should be size- and weight-wise somewhere between XF50/2 and XF90/2. In fact, its focal length lands exactly in-between the two. I'm guessing its size should be similar to the ...

Not at all. However, I may have regrets in the future if: (1) Fujifilm diversifies its camera line into (1) do-it-all, larger, heavy, very capable cameras such as T4 and H2 and (2) small, lightweight, ...

If I ask Fuji to make me a Frankencamera that I know they can make (because they have all the building blocks) but just refuse to - is it realistic? body: X100V, weight: not more than 450g XF lens ...

Fun and pointless poll. How can you rate lenses as best given their different purpose and different system? It's like voting which vehicle is better: Ferrari supercar or Ford truck?

I appreciate what you tried to do here, but I don't agree with your list. It's all over the place. I can only comment on lenses I had a chance to use. These are good lenses but not that good to be ...

The built-in ND filter is a life saver sometimes. I had no tripod, so I placed the camera on a low bridge wall and held it at a correct angle by two tiny rocks.

I guess it all depends how you use the camera. I have 1 extra battery for my Ricoh and I rarely use it. But then I don't typically take more than 100 pictures in one day anyway. I somehow can't...

Ricoh GR III/IIIx is the best camera if you always want to have a camera with you.

(And no - smartphones are not an alternative. You can't take pictures single-handed with a phone as easily as you...

No. Not interested. I have no complains about my copy of 23/1.4. It's very usable even wide open. I'm sure the new one is better optically - with likely better corrected chromatic aberrations, but ...

(1) Watch Samuel Streetlife on Youtube. His videos can be very helpful, like this one: RICOH GRIII - MY SETTINGS & Beginner's Guide

After a few months of using GRIII I started looking at it differently. I don't look at it as a backup or B-roll camera anymore. Image quality is so good that now I treat it simply as a 28mm FOV ...
