Take some responsibility for your own words or else take them back. What utter childishness. You said that I "want" a small 16mm, but somehow my explanation of a 33mm f/1 is at odds with this, ...

It really bothers me when people take some quote out of context and then try to make it personal, as if I were the lens designer to air your grievances to. You are off your meds, aren't you.

Twice as much light. Better subject isolation. Modern AF and weather sealing. Bragging rights. This seems intended as a replacement for the XF35f1.4, which is a gen 1 XF lens with slow AF and ...

This is a clear case of user error. You're using automatic AF point selection. You need to manually select a single AF point, probably the center one, and aim your camera so the bird is directly un ...

This is a common feeling among new gear buyers, called "is my new, expensive gear defective" syndrome. It happens with all sorts of gear, from cameras to fly rods, computer equipment, guns, ...

Selling my Vanguard tripod and ball head, which are in fully functional, working condition and great cosmetic condition. The combination is rated up to about 26 pounds. I never used either outside ...

I've owned them both. I currently only own the 50mm f/1.8 STM. Neither is totally sharp across the frame until around f/2.8. Below that, you're going to get enough sharpness in the center to give ...

Depending on how she plans to use it, the focus distance indicator of the IS II, as well as the faster Nano USM focus motor, might make more of a difference in the decision-making than any ...

It took me a couple times reading your posts to realize that the loud lens you have is the extremely old 100-300mm f/5.6 L, and not the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM... In that case, pretty much any ...

Do you guys really not understand the difference between “may” and “must”?

Where’s the humility?

I wonder if that smaller spider on the big one's abdomen is a baby, or if that's just what the males look like for this species. I love the photos where you can notice these little details once ...

This 50mm f/1.4 lens looks very good. I really hope that it attracts enough new users to the brand and generates enough sales with existing users to fund the development of an 85mm f/1.4, 35mm ...

Any ideas on how to find a competent lens repair technician? There are two main camera stores in my city and neither do repairs in house. I called one of them earlier today and the person I talked ...

People switch brands all the time, and always have. In the past, it's mostly just been between Canon and Nikon, and vice-versa. Sony appears to be different for two reasons: (1) In the age of social ...

I have an older 200mm f/2.8 L, and the autofocus makes a tiny squeak when lens is pointed upward and AF is initiated from the minimum focus distance. There is no noise when the lens is autofocused ...

I look at physical condition. You can usually tell how hard a camera was used by the number of scratches and amount of dirt on it. Then again, I only buy used cameras when they are in "minty" ...

The size argument sounds valid only until the point when you use a good mirrorless camera for the first time.

1) Not with continuous AF at that speed. 2) A professional for whom this kind of speed really matters would probably reach for a full frame camera instead of MFT. Not to say the Olympus is a bad ...

Canon's mirrorless cameras have a lot of potential, but don't hit the mark for me either. I owned an original EOS M several years ago, and have been periodically checking in on the improvements to ...
