There are dozens of us. Dozens!

This article doesn't answer the most important question: is this lens optically different from the (excellent) previous version?

I had to scroll down to the comments section to find the answer: no.

So is this the first update to Google Earth in about a decade? It's become increasingly buggy as its neglect by Google increased. The simulate sun position/shadows feature is marginally functional,...

Cool, thanks. The bit about field curvature changing at close focus distances is particularly interesting.

It sure would be nice if DPR would include text with their videos. I'm not going to watch...

Very interesting. Lenstip reports quite bad coma and corner sharpness that is well below their "decency" threshold. On the other hand, the f/1.8 samples in the DPR gallery look quite good. It will...

Behold, Leica has attained its final form: this camera exists solely as a fashion accessory or wall ornament, and whether or not it takes photos is irrelevant to the point of not being specified.

Fair to Sony shareholders.

Some of us take photos of landscapes after the sun goes down.

I nearly got banned here for complaining about the uselessness of previous sample galleries, but this one is actually good! Thank you for the fence shots! I can actually assess the lens quality....

AmazonBasics products are generally pretty good quality.

The most exciting feature: it has lossless compressed raw. That's what drives the $6500 price tag.

Beating the 16-70 in sharpness should be pretty easy. The ones I owned did have nice colors, though.

I also would love a 9 or 10mm f/2.8 for APS-C. Manual focus is ok. I love the Roki 12 f/2 but want to go wider.

The Laowa 9 has garbage corner quality and the Rokinon 10mm f/2.8 is too big.

RealYeats -- Thank you! The slight blurriness in that photo was due to atmospheric turbulence in the 30-mile-long (50 km) column of air, not the lens itself. When the lens was pointed at nearby...

Indeed, the Nikon 1000 f/11 is a fun lens. I bought one, and it enabled a variety of photos that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to take. One was a prizewinner in the Astronomy Photographer of...

Yep, I played with a couple Celestrons before buying the same Nikon 1000 discussed in this article. The fundamental problem is that most of them don't have a wide enough pathway from the primary...

It would be nice to state whether the aperture is electronic. Since I don't see a control ring for aperture, I assume so?

I'll be interested to see how this compares with the Roki 12 f/2. That...

This sounds like a good thing. I put a huge amount of effort into capturing astro-landscape photos with unique alignments of the sun, moon, milky way, etc over landscape elements. Other people just...

Great. This sounds optimal.

A couple questions and comments:

1) What will become of the lensrentals blog? I hope it will be preserved for posterity. I've read it since the very early days and there is a huge amount of good...
