@Ibell I hope it is clear that I was talking about ChelseaPhotographer's own personal ranking - this is where this thread started and I named them several times in my post.

Of course for other...

Market considerations notwithstanding, it would probably be very difficult (=large and expensive) to create a 35-150/2.0-2.8 lens for FF dSLRs.

> I always struggle to understand such claims.

Here's an explanation: ChelseaPhotographer has determined that when considering everything (such as...

Exactly! I was like "oh, that sounds like a promising machine, even has user-servicable SSD and then this :( why would they do that? Is that a thing now in normal-size laptops? I expect it in tiny...

absolutely! Also, for all these "our product can survive a drop of a bazillion feet" we need to keep in mind: This simply means it survives an impact with terminal velocity. Any height you add...

Hi Kosmo, yes, dpreview have now changed their article summary to match your article - sorry for the confusion.

I wanted to say it came 20 years too soon, with film photography picking up again, but with a scarcity of new cameras that offer parts supply for servicing. But then numbers would still be small,...

Great results! Now please make it run on a desktop and allow me to search my catalogue.

Jon, just because some considerations in a discussion are irrelevant to some people, this doesn't render the discussion pointless. Yes, some people will never consider an FF camera, but others...

Impressive for sure! My intention was mainly to clarify that you referred to the APS-C use, happy to hear it does even better than the review states.

Jon, ecka is correctly comparing the Tamron 17-70 on APS-C with the Tamron 28-75 on FF. The latter of course offers the option to crop it to APS-C, which is the second bit of ecka's comparison. ...

Bolton, Panther is referring to the A7Riv used as a crop body, and in that use, its buffer is at least 200 deep. Not endless, but good for anybody but the most extreme action photographers:...

The Ricoh GX8 had a hyperfocal "snap photo" mode in 2005 - but I am sure others do too. It was a nifty camera and I liked it a lot, but even with that tiny sensor, hyperfocal setting was often...

@RobDMB
Comparison of APSC f/2.8 and FF f/4.0 makes perfect sense for light gathering.
The f-number tells you about the light density "how many photons hit one square millimetre per second"
The...

FEM in many languages such as your (I assume) native Swedish and my native German, but FEA almost exclusively in the UK and US.

Great results and article, I need to revive my (not as good) 800mm mirror lens and give it another chance after reading this.

Lens cap: Maybe get something 3D-printed that is clip-on style?...

There are artistic uses of full spectrum cameras such as this one for astronomy, landscape and portrait photography (and more), It is a bit disappointing that Fuji does not even mention this. I'm...

The K-1 AF is fine for me as a landscape photographer. But I am under no illusions that it's not up to scratch. *However* I would not get my hopes up that an adapted screw-drive lens works better....

@Nothing new
There is no easy way to do macro beyond probably half-life size.
Hand-held is difficult as you say, but so is tripod use when the subject (or the plant it sits on) moves. You can head...

@TheRealYeats
I have an old set of Soligor PKAF extension tubes and the A-transmission is intermittent on one or two of the three tubes. I thought I had a faulty set, but it sounds suspiciously...
