Great initiative. I hope it is successful for the grantees and that Sony then extends this program worldwide.

I admire the photography of Jordan Steele and he provides sensible and well-balanced reviews. https://admiringlight.com/blog/

I think the perceived DOF effect is, at least in part, due to its close focus—around 0.18 M

These two shots taken with the CZJ Flektogon 35mm ƒ/2.4 are cropped but otherwise unprocessed. I think they show off the Flektogon's characteristics. The rendering and the close focus ability make ...

Just a couple of shots in the garden with the Yashica Yashinon-DX 50 mm f/ 1.4. The lens came "free" on a broken Yashica TL-Electro and I think it renders quite well. Both these are at ƒ/1.4 ...

All power to Panasonic and Olympus, however, what is driving Nikon and Canon towards Mirrorless is the impact of the Sony FF mirrorless. µ4/3 does not really represent a challenge to Nikon and...

CZJ Flektogon 35mm ƒ/2.4 Yashinon-DS 50mm ƒ/1.9

I don't usually read Ken Rockwell but I followed your link and was quite pleasantly surprised. He highlighted the properties of the lens and provided a good range of samples to illustrate his...

I think this is a fair and useful review but I do have a few comments:
Aesthetics is very personal, I happen to find Fuji camera ands their retro styling unattractive and the Canon does nothing for...

Terrible sentence but I agree with you entirely :-)

Some APS-C cameras are quite small. When out on a photo expedition I usually carry two cameras and they are APS-C: the Sony a6000 and a6500. (Often add in a Sony HX60V for reference shots and GPS)

I think when someone calls for evidence to support an opinion it is a bit rich to call that an attack. You may call it a challenge if you like but I cannot see how it constitutes an attack. Maybe ...

… Unfortunately that is not always an option here, in Australia, and the process of returning lenses overseas is prohibitively expensive. I agree entirely!

Thanks :-)

I'm sure one of those would look nice on you :-)

Yes. The yellow flower in the first image is called a "Yam Daisy" but, aside from the fact it has a wide distribution, that's all I know about it. I am not very good at the names of the flowers—I ...

In general I agree and think this is good and helpful advice, however I would argue that it is best to start with the 2 lens kit (16-50 & 55-210) and then see which focal length(s)  are used most ...

Stalking you? For goodness sake buy a dictionary. But since you turn up everywhere doing your 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' impersonation whenever the kit lenses are mentioned then I am bound to ...

Again I think that word does not mean what you think it means. It is not an "attack" to point out that you do not provide evidence. It is asking you to back up your claims. Your question is ...

Asking for evidence is an attack? Do you not notice the silliness of that claim?
