Regarding the Laowa: "...and the aperture markings are really very small and difficult to read. "
"The copy seen here has a vinyl wrap on it"
It's obvious they would be easier to read without the...

The Tamron versions go on sale just as regularly as the Nikon version, though. B&H has the 17-28mm E-mount at $799 right now.

The 55 1.8 has given me many of my best images. It has its flaws, but they are far outweighed by the positives -many images simply look superb with this lens. I picked it up lightly used for $600 5...

There are some great Pentax lenses, but that M 2.8 28mm isn't one of them.

That's the thing about POV in a rally-car -everyone knows what it's like to drive roads like that, and can directly compare their own experiences. F1 is like Science Fiction to most...

They are completely lost.

You're danged if you do, danged if you don't. Good luck!

I completely agree with your first point :)

"What's wrong with the author having his own taste?"
No one said he was wrong -but offered differing viewpoints.

Focus on the green plastic object?

Front focused? Hard to tell, because there's a bit of motion blur, but the focus appears at their knees, at best.

Great advertisement for a fast 50!

I have three color options for focus-peaking, and never change from red --even though It would be occasionally helpful. I'd prefer a box that automatically set itself opposite the field behind...

It would have to be automatic -otherwise it's just feature-creep.

No good deed goes unpunished...

So did Nikon...

Yeah -I picked up a nice Vivitar 70-210 for $20 a month ago...what were we talking about?

Hawkypuck -it's also *$3k* more than the RV. There's more to camera-wear than the shutter, BTW.
