The public IS NEVER satisfied!
When I was doing research on a X100S replacement I was like ok, but it only has a 28mm lens--(but bought a GRII anyway)
Now that they've introduced the IIIX's 40, I'm...

@ David610, I agree, and the Samyang 18mm is close enough for government work- (concerning having a 20)

This lens looks suspiciously like a Samyang with a green ring. I bet they are kissing cousins--I also bet it will be cheaper with damn similar IQ.
In other words, if you haven't bought a Samyang...

@ tkbslc...BUT, has any (other) mount proliferated like this in JUST 5 years? The decision to have an open protocol was genius- and will continue to be a thorn in the side of every other...

Wow... Are there more choices in 28-35mm in E-mount than they are in ALL of Z or RF mounts?
Sure seems like it-

No aperture ring on a manual focus only F mount lens sounds like at best a "what were you thinking moment" to me. And at worse, serious side eye to thousands of older film body users.
Inexcusable.

...I get it; but I don't.
Nikkor's own 28mm Ai-S (specifically the S version) is generally regarded as one of the sharpest 28mm lenses of the (and before) era.
Though not cheap, they can be found...

Marvelous gallery, and look at little miss--she's growing up already!
Love those Fuji colors....

...Because there's not that many well performing Sony lenses already???

I quite literally laughed out loud....thanks for that!

...and a more profitable whole new market segment at that!

Hmmm, seems like a plotagraph (look it up) with light being the moving element. The guy who invented the plotagraph is actually the brother of my bosse's wife. If this new technique borrows from...

"The only band that matters" -said someone once...

My ALL TIME favorite band!

@myREALITY, "small audience? Have you heard of the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Mazda Miata, Fiat 124 Spyder, Kawasaki Z900RS, Honda CB1100, Apple iphone SE, Nike Air force One,...

@mandm, yes I'm aware of Nikon's FTZ I think it's called. It's butt ugly with that foot. Yep I'll look into off brands!

...I need it like I need a hole in the head, but it reminds me so much of my chrome 83' Nikon FE I might HAVE TO buy it.
Someone has to make small adapter to use my old Nikon glass right?

...As a Sony user I hate it when all you hear about is their bad "color science".
-But, Damn. Great. Color. Here.
-There's a warm (but accurate) subtlety. Even the contrast seems smoother if you...

-give them a minute

This camera reminds me of something from Jurassic Park... large and wondrous to look at but you know how it ends.
