If the next is not female then what is it? Woman? Take a look at the etymology of that word?

There was a very recent lengthy thread on this question.

Couldn't agree more. But the emotion is grounded in simple and elegant ergonomics. I love the fact that the buttons are big, indentifiable tactilely, and all operated by the same "floating hand". I ...

Capture 1 V12. Amazing software!! ...sometimes supplemented by Affinity Photo.

The 80mm is great in low light precisely because of its OIS which enables it to outperform the 90 except in the case of moving subjects. My salads and meat stay on my plate... Little action there. ...

Each to his own. I'd trade 2 X-T2s for an X-Pro2. ... And I'm an eyeglass wearer.

Yes, but no owners of either camera actually reported successfully using that lens... So he asks again.

Boost your Shadow and Highlight settings in camera and your OOC image will look more or less like the raW image you processed. You can re-process in camera as many times as you want, changing ...

I'm going to try responding to the actual question that you posed: 56 vs 50. I own both. If I'm going to an evening performance or know I'll be dealing with low light, I take the 56.  Also, if I ...

The teleconverters work well with the 80mm. You might consider that as an alternative to the 90mm.

This is a kit lens, a very good kit lens, but nothing more. Fuji has a zoom -- the 16-55 F2.8 -- that is superior to it in every way except size and OIS. Red badge is nothing more than an ...

In my way of seeing it, there's not really a choice between raw and jpeg. It's basically a matter of when you throw out your raw data.  If you shoot "only jpeg" in camera, you're simply choosing to ...

I rarely need to touch the curves tool, but use these frequently: 1. Levels -- to set black point, white point, and gamma. 2. Clarity -- to set fine contrast 3. Contrast and Brightness 4. Highlight ...

There are nine primes in that range, not counting the APD

People can't respond well to your question unless you supply more info. What additional lenses do you own? What other ones are you considering? How do you like the 14mm? What kind of photography ...

The FUJINON XF23mmF1.4 R uses an internal focusing system which incorporates a lens group consisting of three cemented lens elements and one aspheric lens element in order to keep weight down. ...

Sorry. I can't duplicate the issue on my X-PRO2.

I agree with your basic point, Greg.  Arguing which is best is rather pointless. Just like arguing whether the 24mm (equiv) fov is better or worse than the 35mm fov is pretty pointless. That said, ...

One of the 35s to complement the 16 if you're limiting yourself to two primes. The bag-o-primes brick, of course, doesn't force you to choose.

Yes. Technically it's a wide angle. Your assertion that it's closest to the human eye is false... in that the question of which is closest is sometimes answered as 22mm. Sometimes 35mm. Sometimes ...
