Tom Schum's current gear
Supremely useful. Not too big, not too small.
Good high-ISO performance. 12mp.
|
Excellent sharpness and versatility. Quite compact! Sharpness is best with raws, and high ISO is good up to ISO 3200. 20mp.
|
Superb 14mm F4 lens. Image quality not good above ISO 400. 5mp or 20mp depending on how you set up capture.
|
Excellent! Some of the buttons are a little bit mushy or I would have given it 5 stars.
|
Image quality is extremely good, even at high ISO in shadows. ISO knob on top is a great thing. 25.2mp.
|
|
Really good optically. Manual focus is a little bit nervous or jumpy, however.
|
Muted microcontrast at all apertures should make it wonderful for portraiture, better than the high acutance Mark II.
|
Equal to or better than Fuji 50mm F2 WR at F2 and above, in my opinion.
|
L mount: Large but not heavy, versatile bokeh and unexpectedly good sharpness in the center.
|
Fuji x-mount. Optically nearly perfect. Small and light.
|
Not enough resolution to match the X-E1, but pretty good. No color fringing!

|
|
Big and heavy. Some loss of clarity at edges of APS-C frame. Sigma SA-mount.
|
|
Competent, excellent optical quality, bokeh is good for an aspheric.
|
For Fuji. Focus helicoid loose, led to inconsistent focus. Otherwise, image quality was good.
