I don't plan to pick up an R7, but I do look forward to Christopher Frost getting one so he can re-test all of the RF lenses on the super high pixel dense sensor and show how soft they all are :-)

The studio example posted above shows a noticeable loss of contrast from the speed boster. https://www.dpreview.com/articles/2667195592/first-impressions-metabones-speed-booster

I wonder if there is a kind of replaceable weakest-link theory with the plastic mount. If you drop the camera and the lens mount breaks, perhaps you can just unscrew it and screw in a new one. But ...

Isn't there a trade-off in image quality?

4K video on the R6 is quite sharp. Somehow I am skeptical that the R7 can match it. Also not sure the basis for saying that AF is different. The R6 has the Digic X processor, so why there would be ...

Can't wait to test the manufacturer's claims of water-tightness to see how that lithium ion battery holds up to stomach acid.

Exposure is exposure. Doesn't matter if DSLR, mirrorless digital camera or film. For further reading, I suggest 'Understanding Exposure' by Bryan Peterson. Hope that helps, OP.

um….I think you meant to type “Don’t be ‘dens’”

It is; however, I have come to expect more from new lens designs and L lenses specifically.

These two lenses barely overlap in how I would use them. You might as well be asking if you should own a 24-105mm or 70-200mm. The 16mm is much smaller and therefore easier to carry than the heavy ...

To what extent is weight a factor for you? The RF 24-105 STM is very handy and sharp (except corners at widest end, although it's not that bad). It's slow at the long end, but sharp. Any of the ...

Might want to ask yourself what is it about the current gen cameras that is unsatisfactory and how you hope it to be improved. And then ask yourself, if that’s not “fixed” in the mark II version, ...

These look great.

A gym membership and some commitment would negate these disparities.

You misunderstand. I am stating that his tests are highly scientific and professional, but even the best data needs to be understood by the reader in the context of the use of the lens.

The site is highly consistent and thorough. I would just add that sometimes your own personal taste can differ from the stark, scientific reality as represented in these photos of test charts, ...

The increased high ISO range over the RP, plus IBIS, will breathe new life to all of your lenses, even the ones that you previously may have thought were too limited for being slow. It's really ...

Good to know, thank you.

My problem with the screw-on one is that it screws onto the moveable part of the lens barrel. I primarily use hoods for bump protection, mostly for preventing damage to the front element, but with ...
