What scores best for me: Nikon Df + Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G. Delivers and is very agile.

The 50mm f/1.8 comes tops. I did the Amalfi coast pre-Covid with the 14-30 and the 50 and did not feel any "gap". The Z7 gives plenty of cropping flexibility. That said some shots would have ...

I own that SLII version of the 28mm. To me it is on par with the highly reputed Nikkor AI-S, which I also own, but is too flat for quick manipulation (pancake is not always ideal). That lenstip...

I wish they did that also at the other end, with the apo-lanthars: 90/125/180, 3 fabulous lenses, and two of them fetching ridiculously high prices on the used market in their old SL garb.

@Old Cameras: the 58 is not "optically mediocre". It is an excellent and useful lens. The 40 is not excellent (loaded with CA) but has unique selling points (build, size, minimum focus distance)....

I wish phones were also forbidden at concerts, except maybe for a 5 mins slot at the start or encore. That forest of extended arms and bright screens is the main reason I stopped attending large...

I own and have owned way too many cameras through way too many years.The Df is by far the most enjoyable digital camera I have ever used. It delivers. I do not shoot sports or super tele wildlife. ...

The iPhone 12 lens specs you share provide equiv focal length (and the 13 mm equiv is a great feature) but they do not provide equiv aperture (in terms of light gathering and depth of field...

@Philip : yes ideally, it would have a mini EVF option. A hot shoe based thingy of the same size as Sony's RX100 EVF would be OK. But it does not have that, and, for my usage, the rest of the GR...

@Philip : "a camera without a viewfinder doesn't really feel like a camera": that is true. But in view of the size/volume, you quickly adapt. It is really a one hand device, that you hold at arm's...

Excellent! ;D

@Impulses: that is very true. In good light, if you avoid pixelpeeping and if you do not mind big differences in colour balance in your vacation's bounty of pics.... :)

I have been using GR cameras ever since the film based GR1. The concept has been refined through the years of course, but the fundamentals have not changed. A top quality, fast and nimble ...

@Pixel8888 At base ISO and "equivalent" focal length and aperture, your strawman statement on APS vs FF is probably as correct as Philip's.

Things change as signal amplification increases: at...

Not sure why this should be treated as newsworthy, except signalling one could save a few bucks buying now compared to October. The increase is marginal. And if that is what it takes to maintain...

FTZ works perfectly with G and E lenses. No AF with AFD lenses of course, but other functions are perfectly OK. Same with all manual focus chipped lenses (Zeiss ZF2, Voigtlander SLII lenses, etc)....

A very welcome exercise, and fully confirmed by my own personal experience (currently Z7 and Df). At a given sensor size and generation, more pixels has significant advantages when it comes to...

While none of us have access to the detailed financials of the Df as a product, I have the same feeling as you. Try buying a mint or exc + Df with under 10K actuations now, and you'll find offers ...

Nope, manual focus works very well with Fujifilm cameras. In fact, the flexibility in choices and efficacity of focusing aids is best in class in the mirrorless world. More precise and less subject...

Feels sensible at first sight. However, low light situations with moving subjects are hardly ideal to take full advantage of high res sensors. What i mean is that by cropping radically from your ...
