lol, I pre-ordered my LX100 and then sold it a year later assuming Panasonic would soon update it with a touch-screen version like what my GX-7 had. I've been waiting since then!

I already owned the RX100-II when I bought my LX100 so I shot them side-by-side on several occasions, and the 20MP RX100 easily resolved more detail...at least at normal ISO levels. That being ...

Why does every thread have to have sanctimonious whiners?

It's called the internet. If you find it so distressing, then leave.

Something else interesting about the XZ-1 is that it would focus confidently in some low-light situations where my RX100-II would simply be unable to focus.

I would also like to see some kind of...

I've never used the LX-7, but I still own an XZ-1 and I can vouch for the lens...razor sharp from edge to edge. I also owned the LX100, and my copy was pretty sharp.

You definitely made a point, but I'm afraid it's not the point you were hoping to make.

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound right now? Thanks for the laugh, and keep fighting the good fight!

The only Samyang I own is the 7.5mm fisheye for m43, and I find that it outperforms my Olympus 8mm Pro...at least when I don't need an f/1.8 aperture or autofocus. But optically, it really delivers.

Nobody cares. We know what is meant by FE mount. To me, it's just a shorthand way of saying "an e-mount lens that works on full frame e-mount cameras." What's the big deal?

Good luck with your crusade!

Your criticisms fall flat when you're comparing a budget zoom lens to very well regarded prime lenses. How well does that 85mm do at 28mm?

The pictures look great to me for what the lens is, and...

I'm not gonna go through the gallery again, but looking through it initially I was impressed at the sharpness in most of the shots.

You must be seeing a different gallery than I am.

I think your shutter speed is definitely was too slow. :-D

I hope this helps me pick up a used version II at a lower price!

And when you add in the PayPal fees, it's a total of about 13% to sell something on eBay. And you're right, that can be a good negotiating tool to use with local sellers.

The Tamron 70-300mm USD is probably the value leader in 300mm zooms. The image quality is very nice, and the lens is overall a quality piece of equipment. It sells used for $150-$250 in Canon and ...

You sorted completed listings by "Price + Shipping: lowest first", so you are pretty much looking at the outliers on price. To get the lower end of the price scale, you will have to get lucky with ...

The 70-200mm f4 sells for $1100-$1200 used on eBay, so it's not realistic for the OP to be able to find one for $600. OP: Are you more interested in longer (ie 100-400mm) or faster (70-200mm f/2.8)?

The first upgrade lens I bought for my first APS-C DSLR in 2012 was the old Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, and I used it extensively to great effect. I use my camera mostly to photograph family and family ...
