Love 'em. I agree that you have the start of a series.

You can use this one. Nit-picking where it isn't warranted Har -I was replying to keepreal.
Sony (and 3rd parties) has the wide-end covered well, anyway.

Trade that Nikon for a Sony, and you can use *any* lens you want.

In 20 years (I'm being conservative) everything you use to photograph now will be a museum piece, including the lenses. Cameras as we know them now, will become conversation pieces.

"future proof" Sorry -I find this amusing.

You are absolutely correct -but I blame the consumers ("photographers"). When I bought my Sony 5n both the DPR reviewers, and the critics here, considered the touch-screen as a negative ("who wants...

Not everyone wants/needs a camera built like a tank. I like sports-cars, myself.

"How about side by side street shooting of the Canon 85mm f1.4 L, the Nikon 85mm f/1.4, SonyZeiss 85mm f/1.4, the normal Sony 85mm f/1.4 (not sure if it's GM), the SigmaART 85mm, and the Leica SL...

Great tip!

"These days, a well designed amplifier has an SNR of 80dB or more." Right -and it amplifies the source; tape hiss if it's old...or retro.

Very nice lens. Funny, though, I couldn't afford Leica in 1965, and I still can't...

As soon as Canon re-engineers its 50mm f1.4/1.2 into the modern beast it will have to be to compete, maybe we'll have heard enough complaining about the size.
I use the 55/1.8 Zony...just right...

Pentax lens hype? I'm shocked...

That's why I use the cheap generic neoprene model mentioned  above.

"... then Sony will finally be forced to care about the smaller quirks in the cameras because suddenly there are alternatives."
Indeed; I've been all in with Sony since the 5n, and they've had the...

I know when I'm shooting, and the sky is important, and the dynamic range is large, (like around sunset) it works better in my Sony A7 to expose for the sky, and pull the shadows up in post.

I understood your point, Minababe...I simply disagreed with it. "I DIDN'T learn how to paint because the science of color and light physics has nothing to do with the actual process of painting."...
