Larzac

I tested it and was a bit disappointed.
First this soft is still too expensive, as mentioned.
Then we cannot preview then result neither reduce the amount of denoising. It often leads to too much...

Cutting costs and maximizing profit, no matter how or why, are two different things.

The best photography website is closing.
Shame on Amazon.

Yes, I know :-) 1.6 was supposed tu cure the M11 too... we'll see...

The Laowa seems quite compelling, I don't know about manual focusing as I use a lot AF with my current 60mm macro MFT...

Thanks you. The customizable manual focus operation is interesting to know.

That kind of things no bugs and always handheld 60mm macro. Excellent lens Ok not a zoom guy, that's why I am reluctant to get one just for macro... I have... Interesting to know, thanks.

Thanks. I'll have a look!

Thank you Paul. it is certainly a good lens, but I'm not that much a zoom user and it would be odd to get this lens first for its macro/proxi capabilities... but I'll think about it.

It is obviously a Leica problem but not occurring on all M11 bodies. But I had the "chance" to experiment 4 different M11, all of them with freeze issues. mine is going back to Wetzlar in a couple ...

Thank you for this thorough analysis. This XT5 is a real disappointment to me, I would have loved to get one (+ some primes): form factor, dials, LCD... along with my Leica M system. But the focus ...

I never found the 25 1.2 to be not as good as the 45 and the 17. In my experience the trio is quite homogeneous and deliver equal results.

Fw 1.6 didn't solve the freeze problem, at least for most users (and for me). 1.6.1 is soon available, let's hope...

I can confirm that the OM 17mm and 25mm 1.2 have beautiful  bokeh and excellent iq at 1.2 and I find myself shooting quite often a 1.2 for these reasons. And that, yes, they are rather heavy and ...

Hi, I may get a Panasonic S5II, but I'm concerned with the close focus and macro lenses I could get with the system. I am aware that the 105 sigma is excellent, that the heavy and expensive 24-105 ...

Ah ah i have a polarizer but never use it ;-)

All Olympus : - 17-25-45 Pro. For portraits and studio, I love these lenses, the only downside is that they are pretty heavy and fat. All are perfect wide open. - 75 mm slow but amazing. - 60 ...

I'll double check the possible af issues looking at all theses settings...

It would be annoying for close portrait where the closest eye in the one to focus on...

You are right I must be more specific. It was my first time with a Fuji body and didn't have time to dive into all the settings. I think having used S mode (S, C, M), Focus Priority (I guess), no ...
