MILC man

no, dfd is not based on cdaf, and yes, Panasonic should have gone with ospdaf.

when you put a non-dfd lens on a panasonic dfd body, it reverts to primitive cdaf, but there are claims of some minor...

I see that people don't know what dfd is.

i'll try another approach... show us any existing ff dfd lenses, that can be used on these new Panasonic bodies.

then tell us again how dfd isn't a fail...

totally unstabilized lenses won't be very attractive to many people; the 50/1.2 is not practical, and the f/2 zoom is too big for some. like they did with the 6dmk2? more like failed body launches. ...

you need to learn what dfd is. here, try this: http://eng.faq.panasonic.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26478/~/what-is-dfd-%28depth-from-defocus%29-technology%3F---dmc-gh4 https://www.imaging-resource ...

wrt m4/3, dfd only works with Panasonic lenses, so for l-mount, i'm not seeing anything beyond the vaporware list of lenses that aren't out yet. I think that leica l-mount was introduced as a cdaf ...

sony already has an fe50/2.8 macro lens, and it's super sharp, at a reasonable price.

try again? because that troll remark failed, lol

with adapted Nikon glass? I've seen one complaint that the old sigma 150mm macro af didn't work on one of those new Nikon milc bodies. the only way to know for sure is to rent it, and test it out ...

maybe you should get yourself a model-a roadster to go with that dslr ;-)

d750 is four years old, it's af system is way obsolete, not what you want in a new 2018 milc.

modern milc should be using features like eyeaf, and have ospdaf that is compatible with adapters and...

no, it's not, because even as weak as the canikon milc bodies are, they at least offer adapters with the potential for some native af capability, within huge selections of dslr lenses. I just now ...

these cameras are going to use dfd.

sony will be laughing, it won't force them to do anything.

"Both cameras will use Panasonic's Depth-from-Defocus system for autofocus. "

major fail.

if canon was selling boat-loads of ef-m bodies there would be a market for lenses, just like there is for all other camera mounts.

but since there aren't any lenses for ef-m, it can only mean that...

given that sigma has never made an e-mount body, that seems rather unlikely, lol

what exactly is "fast and accurate af"? is Panasonic finally going to use ospdaf instead of dfd/cdaf?

ff foveon will have a very long road ahead of it.

@magic_carpet - "FE lenses defeat the point of having an APS-C body, they are neighter compact nor light."

those were your exact words, and I proved that it was wrong... you flat-out lied with...

"they simply don't wan't competition"

who is "they"... sigma has already released a bunch of art lenses in e-mount, so it's not sigma, and I doubt that sony tells sigma what glass to release.

if...

"enormous extension and will be ridiculous mounted on a little Sony body."

that is a ridiculous claim... god invented this thing called a "tripod mount", you can also use it with a monopod, and...

@magic_carpet - "FE lenses defeat the point of having an APS-C body, they are neighter compact nor light."

wrong, there are small and light lenses, like the Samyang 35/2.8

which proves that you...
