Do you have a place where you share them? I would be interested to see some of those shots, as I would likely rent one for trips to Japan.

The faster price reduction is likely due to the fact that the M series is more of a fashion statement and not only a good camera. The SL is missing the uniqueness of the M. Same reason why Leica R...

Got mine after 3 weeks of waiting from a local shop as well. And I would have gotten it the same day, if someone else wouldn’t have been a bit faster than me that day. Sure it will take months if...

The new Leica Q is way more interesting. Hopefully it will finally have a true 28mm lens filling the frame.

@MILC man and yet they focus fast enough. First try to use one of those lenses on a Z9 before judging it as slow. My only Nikon Z lens that focusses „slow“, is the 105mm Macro. But that’s to be...

To be fully honest, I though about getting a Leica Q2 instead of a Z9. I knew I wanted to get a 28mm with a wider aperture than f2.8 and I already had a capable Z7 at hand. But seeing how bad the...

To be honest a fish AF could actually be helpful. Not a fully certified diver yet, but I can imagine that fish AF in a housed camera could be quite helpful in some scenarios.

I received mine about 2-3 weeks ago with my Z9. A very well balanced and reliable combination. While the sharpness is far from my 500mm PF, it's on a way more than acceptable level. For birding I...

I own one and I love the size and ergonomics of the Z9. The weight is a non-issue. Especially considering how well it balances with telephoto lenses and how long the battery holds up (still have to...

@adrian1988 the sharpness is far from on par with other FF shift lenses. Both Canon and Nikon are considerably sharper. The Laowa is especially weak in the mid frame, which ends up almost in the...

Personally I would like to see an Auto-ISO option, which allows to skip any ISO setting between ISO 200 and ISO 500, as the noise performance increases at ISO 500 compared to the other stops in...

Since I got mine and the new 100-400mm I carried it around for hours on day-trips. Most often on a Peakdesign Sling. And the weight wasn't an issue at all. I would have expected the weight to...

Unfortunately they didn't update the optical formula. The sharpness is far from good. Especially on a high res body.

I can guarantee you, that they will sell much more cameras due to this unique lens than with a regular 200-600mm.

"800mm prime is where you find super expensive and heavy specialty lenses that are...

@chambeshi count me in as one of them :D Took me a day or two to wrap my head around the banks and their independent configuration between shooting and setting.

@AstroStan considering the many decades Nikon maintained and supported the F-Mount and even the oldest lenses to work on their newest F-mount bodies, I don't see the risk of this lens not being...

From a different viewpoint: Perfectly adequate stepping motors on a lens 1/3 + 1,000 USD of the price of a just 1/3 step faster lens on another system starting with a C.
