This would have been handy to know BEFORE taking the survey ;)  I was trying to make assessments on images that were approximately 1000x580-ish in size. Unfortunately you can't go back and do the ...

@entoman, I know I should but sometimes the bait they dangle is REALY difficult to leave alone....and they know it :(

Why would we hate on this lens?
I'm a fuji user and already have some of the old Zenit lenses.
If Zenit make this in x-mount, it would be the only f/0.95 short tele lens available. It could prove...

I love the whimsical nature of these photos. A "fruffy" outfit and ski gear...magic.

I think Leica was the Leica of lenses.

Apart from revealing the worst kept secret, I had always assumed that the huge price hike was because Meyer Optik did their own quality control on the Zhong Yi lenses. If they rejected 2 of every 3...

Photo's of brick walls are so avant garde. They really speak to me of the meaninglessness of existence and the eternal torment of the soul.

The GFX-50S has upto 16.7x magnification, I would assume that the GFX-50R has the same http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/gfx/fujifilm_gfx_50s/features/page_03.html

Yes, I quite enjoyed the video and will likely watch more.

I'm disappointed now ;) The idea that there might have been two Andrew Marr's on opposite ends of the world, both producing GFX-50R videos was delightful.

Is that guy's name really Andrew Marr? I can't find his name on his Youtube channel. If it is then what a huge coincidence :D There is an Australian who also is called Andrew Marr and has also ...

How is this click bait. Click bait articles don't deliver what their headline promise. That's why it's called click bait. The heading is making a camera lens from scratch...He literally did this....

so you didn't actually watch it. Why post?

If I understand correctly, this isn't an issue of the step up ring specifically but any item that is screwed into the filter thread on these two lenses if they have a low profile.

I have just under a dozen step up and step down rings for all my lenses to fit the 2 filter sizes I have (58 and 72mm). Most of them are generic (no brand name). Three of them are "Kiwi fotos" ...

That's the next video ;)

I wonder if it would have been easier/better to make copper sheet metal and then shape it to a cylinder rather than casting it. It certainly would have been lighter.

I've never had a problem with focusing errors when using a step up ring and I can't even imagine how it would happen. Whether you're screwing in a filter or a step up ring into that thread, the ...

Thanks Kharan

@ matthew: I meant 2000 or under. Thought it was going to be much higher with lens so $2200 not as bad as I thought.
