Samyang's 45mm f/1.8 is a perfect FF replacement for your Sigma 30mm f/1.4. Same effective focal length, but actually smaller, lighter, with arguably equal image quality(Samyang is better in the...

S5ii is largely a "sweet spot" camera for 99% people, isn't it? I don't know about Leica but Panasonic has been killing it with all their L mount FF bodies.

Neither the article nor press release mention weight distribution, which to me is a huge usability factor with zoom lenses. I wouldn't mind the new G lens having external zoom as long as the center...

Zfc paired with this lens. Just about all you'll ever need for street photography. Nice!

It would be a lifesaver if details in sample gallery included equivalent focal length as well. EXIF tag 0xa405 (FocalLengthIn35mmFilm) represents exactly this.

Personally I still cannot conceive the fact that one can capture that much detail of solar activity, at that scale, from the ground, during daytime. Absolutely stunning.

Well, some people appreciate the fact that instax mini prints fit perfectly inside most wallets(by design). As for instax square, they produce images actually larger than what you get from 120...

Seeing that one of the biggest appeal of film(including instant film) photography to younger generation these days is the looks, this fashionable timeless design is much appreciated. Could use a...

Remind us when was the last time we saw a 14mm f1.4 lens out on the market?

Imagine the combo between this and Z fc. Just absolutely incredible.

If only these came in silver 😩😩

vlogging? You walk around, grab 7-8 clips, and bam, the battery is running low and you need to wait for it to recharge. Or you could walk around with this thing with a cable hanging around...

I can’t imagine electing to purchase a video-oriented camera with unswappable fixed battery. Do they expect us to use it constantly plugged into a power bank or something?

But seriously…
My dream camera was the Sony a9 when it was first released. A do-it-all camera with not-for-all price tag… I ended up getting a7iii which I’ve had for almost 5 years now.

A digital TLR.
6x6cm 50MP sensor, fixed 80mm f/2.8 leaf shutter lens, pop-out OLED display instead of magnifiers built into the hood. Film advance dial repurposed as customizable control dial&button.

+1 @ Jonby, I always ETTR when scanning my BW negatives because once the digital scan is inverted, it’s the highlights(shadows in raw image file) that tend to be noisier. I also expose for the film...

This ‘auto-ETTR’ would supposedly overexpose to the point where the brightest regions of the image are just about to be clipped, without any other user input. Exposure compensation settings, OTOH,...
