Sony does not make any non-retrofocus wide-angle lenses for e-mount. The two Sonnars: 24/1.8 and 35/2.8 are both retrofocus. Zeiss doesn't normally designate wide angle lenses as Sonnars in any case. ...

What lenses were you adapting? And which adaptor and firmware did you use?

No. See below. Sorry, Sonnar is retrofocus.  I'm not thinking of Biogon. All Sony's FE wide angles are retrofocus, because digital sensors work better with the telecentric light rays that they emit. ...

'You guys'? So you're not one of us, then? You know as much about Sony users as you do about retrofocus lenses.

A mid-range smart phone doesn't have a 30mp FF sensor in it. At the time of the 5D4 release Canon did not offer 4K 'compressed' off a FF sensor anywhere in their product range. They were not ...

Sonnar IS retrofocus. You're thinking of Biogon. Digital doesn't like non retrofocus BTW.

That wouldn't be ironic, that would be a stone cold miracle and the Vatican would need to be informed.

What camera did Sony release three versions of within two years?

I don't have a problem with Canon offering motion jpeg - I think the advantages are moot considering video tends to be shot at low shutter speeds - but the real problem is that Canon isn't ...

It's not that. The Cinema line cameras are actually aps-c chips - circa 10mp, not 30+mp like the 5D4. When the 5D4 came out Canon didn't offer 4K from a full frame chip. Canon has very recently ...

I owned a Canon A1 and used a Nikon FE as a student - both very similar to the FM2 and AE1 you mentioned and I would not say they were similar at all in terms of handling, and both far behind the ...

The A7II isn't particularly small. I came to digital from medium format film bodies.

Slim and none and slim's out of town.

Exactly nofumble! The A9 is the same size and weight of a Nikon F3 (it's just a tad shorter in the body). The A9 plus grip is the same height as the F3 and MD4 motor drive. Of course boorish users ...

That's not a 'bad copy', that's a broken lens.

Uh, no Jim, I didn't mean guarantee in the sense of warranty - your word 'spec'd' is probably better, but I'd already used it once.

You could not be more wrong - mirrorless cameras are essentially video cameras, which is why companies with backgrounds in pro video like Panasonic and Sony have been able to move ahead so quickly. ...

@Yxa
'Black belt in trolling' and 'a Chinese idiom' - bit of an oriental theme going on there, Yxa.

Maybe ease up on the Jackie Chan boxsets.

Perhaps you can find one of your lame anti-Sony jokes...

An EF/M 32/1.4 has been rumoured for some time. If true, that would indicate Canon is about to release a high-end aps-c MILC. The fact that recent L lens releases have been in EF mount ( updated ...

You didn't read what I wrote - these designs come from the film era, where 1/2 a stop could make a practical difference and film grain would would go some way to hiding the optical deficiencies. Si ...
