The part about the overchoice limiting the creativity is so true! I feel that I take better pictures when using prime lenses. But when I carry 2 or 3 primes I often feel that I have the wrong prime ...

So I got my 16-55/2.8 yesterday. I didn't do much with it yet except for some decentering tests. So far I'd say it's best in the mid range. At f/8 and 35mm it is razorsharp across the whole frame. ...

Thank you for this infortmative link, For the most part the 16-55 does a very good Job. Sharpness seems to be on a high level (except at 55mm, but then again my praised Nikon 16-80/2.8-4 wasn't ...

You're absolutely right about that and I only noticed it because I was examining the picture at 100% to check the sharpness of the lens.

I guess those complaining about poor battery life have never shot with a Sigma Foveon camera. I had two DP Merill cameras and their batteries lasted for 50 shots on average. Sigma even put two ...

So I thought but there is also some grain/noise in highlight areas; for example below the three people at the end of the pool and generally near the reflected pillars. And then some areas of the ...

So you didn't add any grain in post? I'm just wondering because I can see a lot of noise already at ISO 400 (in the water surface of the Roman Bath for example). I am not used to this from my ...

I wouldn't say that. Since the 27mm weights practically nothing I could always take it with me and if the need for the best optical performance might occur (for example if I might need to use this ...

Thank for your "real world sample" gallery! These photos look very convincing! May I ask how they were processed?

Thank you, the samples at Imaging-resource look really good. Compared to that the real world samples at lenstip.com ( ...

I'm new to Fuji and I already own the 27/2.8 and 60/2.4 and now I'm thinking if I should get the 16/1.4 or 16-55/2.8 as an additional lens to cover the wide angle (or in the case of the 16-55/2.8 ...

That made me giggle!

I don't think that the inferior sharpness (which isn't overly dramatic but noticable) in corners that I've seen in reviews and sample pictures is due to the processing of X-trans files. The reason ...

The Sigma Art lenses are absolutely stunning. I had the Sigma 50/1.4 Art and 24/1.4 Art on the Nikon D810 and they had absolutely no problems with rendering sharp photos from one extreme corner to ...

I'd say it depends on the price for which you can get the X-H1. I ordered one yesterday and I'm well aware that it probably will be outperformed by the X-T3 in some areas. But if the pricing for ...

I had two issues: 1. The touchscreen often failed to recognize my gestures. 2. The aperture opens and closes dynamically in manual focus mode depending on the amount of light that falls through the ...

I've been using Zeiss polarziers for many years now and always was very pleased with them. However, I haven't used polarizers at all lately because of the uneven polarisation of the sky at wider ...

Why not a used X-T20 vs. a new X-T100? At least where I live (Germany) the prices are almost the same. I've chosen the used X-T20 over a new X-T100 because of some quirks that might or might not ...

After I initially wanted to order an X-T2 which I had a good offer for, I opted for a used X-T20 instead because it has essentially all the features of the X-T2 that I really need (YMMV of course) ...

Ah, this is driving me nuts ;-) I tested it again because this is not what I experienced when I last tested it. And now it gets really odd. When I turn on the camera with the aperture set to f/2.8 ...
