I have both the Sony A7IV and Panasonic S5. I already like the S5 a bit better and tend to reach for that camera first. Now that the S5II has phase-detection autofocus, it's a slam-dunk for the...

"And the Sony 85mm f1.8 is half the price of the Fuji 56mm F1.2. I wish I had seen you message earlier, I just bought a X-T5 2 days ago." But the X-T5 is more than $1,000 cheaper than the A7rIV - ...

Thanks for these posts about the A7rIII. There's no way I can afford the new Mark V and I have an A7IV. But I wouldn't mind picking up an open-box or gently-used A7rIII for under $2K. Back when...

I just ordered one of these. These inexpensive TTArtisan lenses - and others like them - are a ton of fun. Would be be nice if they were chipped? Sure. But, for the price, I'm not complaining.

Petka, the high resolution will always be useful for things like landscapes. But, for me, cropping is where it will really help.

Fergus... Canon's handling of Viltrox and Samyang is a great example of why young people only have eyes for Sony. Not everyone can afford a new Sony body and $2K-plus Sony glass. Third-party...

Of course they're trying to stop all third parties from making RF-mount glass. And they may be creating big problems for themselves in the process. Times have changed but Canon still can't seem...

That's fine. If Canon wants to cripple the RF-mount at this stage of development, fine. But please note that Sony's FE mount really took off when third parties began making glass for it. Canon...

I'd love to pick up this lens for my Leica CL. I don't mind manual focus. I just wish it was chipped, like the CV 23mm for my Fuji.

I like it. I wonder how well it'll work on a Leica CL (the digital version).

I don't think Chris failed in any way. The original Sony 16-35 is f/4 and a hundred bucks more than the Sigma. The new 16-35 PZ is also f/4 and is $1200. The Sigma is f/2.8 and $900. Sony's...

I have an S5 and all of my lenses for it are Sigma DC DN Contemporary glass.  I find each one a joy to use in the real world.  I have the 28-70mm f/2.8, the 24mm f/3.5, the 45mm f/2.8 and the 90mm ...

No lens is perfect but I own the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 and I am quite happy with it in real-world use. I have "pre-ordered" the 16-28. I find these Sigma DG DN Contemporary lenses a joy to use on...

Preproduction camera and lens or not, it's clear this will be a solid package once the final firmware is installed. The good news for me: I'm not not heavily into video so my X-T4 is safe for now.

I'm pretty sure I'll be buying this lens for my S5. I'm trying to decide whether to order now or wait until it's been in production for a few months.

Well, it's pretty clear the EF-M line is on its way out. I can't imagine Canon running so many mount systems.

This lens needs a switch allowing the choice between clicked and clickless aperture setting. Also, is this lens chipped? I don't mind manual focus, but no communication with the camera body at...

I have to disagree.  When shooting stills with the S5, autofocus is simply not an issue.  When shooting video, one should really read the directions first.

The GH4 fit my hand and balanced perfectly. The GH5 grew a bit and was a bit less comfortable to use. I haven't picked up a GH6 but it has grown again. On the other hand, Panasonic is probably...

The title says it all.  I can't afford an A1 - or even an A9II.  But trading in a bunch of old gear from different systems gives me enough to cover the cost of a new A7IV.  I could keep my A7III ...
