Distagon18

My most used adapted lens right now is the Contax 35mm PC Distagon.

Sure, dead reckoning. No big deal with wider lenses, I had great results from a Minox 35GT as, I’m sure, did many others.

Nonsense. I for one have tasted the Sony Kool-Aid (I even focus grouped for them on the A7 series in London). In the end I returned to Canon, for colours, for the glass and the...

You can’t put back missing subtlety in colour transitions in post. It’s also why I stopped using the Sony 55mm FE on my A7r, it just produces blocky colour gradients.

All other thing being equal, colour balance and contrast are both a big deal for me. e.g. in my view, Olympus OM Zuikos tend to be noticeably blue/cyan tinted and highly contrasty. Enough that the ...

Seems cheap. It’s probably a more important and enduring artefact than the almost twice-as-expensive “Rhein II”

It’s a slightly tongue in cheek remark - I just think it might have benefited from tilt, which the HTS has.

The 85 1.4 is a portrait lens so not expected to be super sharp wide open but should be good when stopped down to f4 or 5.6. The little 85/2.8 is the sharp one.

It's not all that magic compared with the Hasselblad HTS 1.5, though it is a bit cheaper.

There really should have been a 'Throwback Thursday' for the XPro1 alongside this article.

I know it seems like a video centric thing but we’ve had shutte-shock problems with several cameras in recent years (I had an A7r and experienced it myself). That will also be a thing of the past...

Well, there was the A7r shutter shock issue...

I liked Lensbaby better when they were selling the ‘original’ for not very much money. Success has led to higher prices and made the products less fun, I think.

Just made that choice and went M6 & EVF. Mostly I wanted a compact fixed 35mm equiv. camera so the M6 was perfect with it's optional EVF. I can drop 15-45 or adapted lens on if I decide I want a ...

Needs to include an upgraded 5d IV sensor, more video features and needs to come in a body that's a bit taller and wider than the A7rIII with a more sculpted grip. It also needs a class leading ...

This is just what I need - no use for photography but ideal for music on my Astell & Kern DAP!.

If you are going to do a fanboy diss on a camera you’ve never used the could you maybe at least try to be factually accurate! The M6 has peaking and *exactly* the same flange distance as Sony’s...

What this needs to sell at this kind of price is a brass lens and Lomography badge on the side, rather than a Kodak one.

Kodak is complicated so, the 35mm film side also sort of isn't Kodak either.

It's sold via 'Kodak Alaris' a UK based spin off company owned by Kodak's UK Pension fund which came into being as a...

@Photato - The M6 definitely can rack focus between points using touch AF.
