Innovate or monopolize? That is the question.

For anyone tempted to crack a joke, ignore or shrug this kind of thing off: we may be further down the line, but inevitably, invariably, we're next.

I think this speaks to the importance of timing when it comes to releasing new products. Following Godox' announcement of the XPro this doesn't seem as appealing. The former not only highlighted...

I was speaking of the utility of faster apertures on a wide angle lens in general rather than the 16 F1.4 in particular.

True, but it replaces at least 3 lenses for me: wide, ultra-wide and a decent street lens. I see it as my main travel lens. In that sense it's cheaper, lighter and more versatile. It also provides ...

In that case, I concur that for most landscape shots, a narrow DoF is not necessary. OIS is more valuable in that scenario in my opinion. I'm leaning towards the 10-24 for the same reasons.

@Panchorancho, If you're a wildlife photographer the extra focal length may be more valuable. I'm not saying I prefer a slower lens. You just have to be willing to pay the higher price and shoulder...

I'll probably go TTL just to get that TCM feature. Looks like a really simple way to decide on a starting point for a novice like myself.

How are the Li-Ion batteries holding up?

That's actually an interesting take. It hasn't happened too often for me fortunately but it is annoying when it does.

Pretty sure a few astro-photographers would debate that.

Now that deserves a like.

I'm wondering if my point was missed based on some of the replies here. I don't like to chimp. At least I thought I didn't. Which is why I bought the X-T2. And it worked, I rarely chimp now because ...

Love the new Godox system. It is one of the most comprehensive, cross-compatible and cost-effective I've seen in a long while. I really like the idea of a single set of flashes being shared across...

You do realize that F6.3 is only a 1/3 of a stop slower than F5.6 right?

Real men only buy F4 lenses or faster and go to the gym every day to be able to carry them! :P

After the first few weeks I learned to trust the WYSIWYG preview. I'm just noting that apparently there was an upside to chimping when I was using my DSLR that I wasn't aware of previously.

Nothing particularly surprising about that. Cameras nowadays are, for the most part, half a dozen of one and six of the other. When I chose to enter the Fuji fray, I was looking forward to the EVF ...

Sorry Greg, you have been outdone: https://www.fujivsfuji.com/recommended-kits-early-2017/

I chose the 35F2 over the F1.4 version because: a) It's cheaper. b) It has quieter and faster AF. c) The F1.4 version was not that sharp wide open so I was likely to step it down anyway and at ...

A quick follow on. Since we identified subject size on the sensor and aperture as the only determinants of DoF, it follows that aperture is the key determinant since ostensibly your framing is ...

Do not confuse depth of field with degree of blur. While the former only depends on aperture and subject size (subject distance vs focal length), you will usually get more blur with longer focal ...
