I recently picked up another 27 to use with an x-a3 as something pocketable (walking shorts) on my walks. I think it's a fine lens for this application. It's a rather noisy, slow focuser (x-a3 is ...

The matching square inset on the right side of the grip in this picture is the convenient location provided by fuji to store/snap-in-place the cover when the grip is installed.

I've been shooting event photography for over 20 years. I have made more money with the 70-200mm equiv. zoom range than any other lens (24-70mm equiv is #2). If you want to do it right, get two ...

I also got the 27 for it too.  It's really sharp from corner to corner from 5.6 to 11 but I like the 18 from 2 to 2.8 in lower light.  Both make great pocket cams combinations with the A3.

Found a "used" A3 for sale on ebay.  I use quote marks because it was new body separated from a kit.  Snagged it for $165. Paired with the 18/2 utilizing the fast aperture as a small, light kit to ...

Always a great feature but not so great for checking focus or detail from a distance unless one doesn't mind stooping down to see it close up. Not a big issue for occasional use but the OP is ...

With camera off, mine does NOT make any noise when moved from side to side as demonstrated in the video.  With the camera on and the stabilizer menu selection set to continuous, it makes an ...

My #1 requirement is the working height MUST be eye height with NO center column adjustment. That sirui is too short. Fine for many things but I don't want to be stooped over for long periods of ...

Yes. It also didn't help that my X-T3 was the only FUJI body I've owned (I've had most) that locked up.  It's been solid since the latest firmware though!!!  I've always loved the way Fuji bodies ...

I also have the 60macro but I wouldn't recommend it for wedding or critical "decisive moment" professional photography over the other 50 options specifically for that possible hunting factor. ...

Some splendid examples I saw today on the sigma forum. Please view at 100%: https://3.img-dpreview.com/files/p/E~forums/61913407/8454fce4869f453eaad30c7ccc180011 https://1.img-dpreview.com/files/p/ ...

My  wife seeing this from the other side of the room literally exclaimed, "Oh my god, what is that?", got up and came to see the full rez version I was viewing.  Quite the compliment I must say!

+ 1  I literally could have typed the exact same reply word for word.  One thing I would add is the 16-55 has occasionally a slightly faster focus lock while accuracy seems the same (all firmware ...

No disagreement there but everything comes with a price.

Poor mans MF: Sigma Fovenon Check the Sigma forum for outstanding examples that match MF in detail. Pro's: IQ can be amazing with astonishing detail from such a small system. CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP ...

I recently got one of these as a Christmas present for my teenage daughter; a budding talent graphic artist who can, slowly and painstakingly, create amazing work with just a mouse.

Good for...

I hadn't heard of the novoflex. A couple of years ago, I came up with this complete with mini-ball head and quick release mount/plates for about $35. I use it for hiking. NO WAY it would work for ...

Buy their book in the gift shop.  You'll also be helping out a professional photographer in a roundabout way.  ;)

is a zoom.  There, fixed that for ya'!  ;) Seriously, I'd suggest the 18-55 and the 55-200 kit zooms.  Use those for awhile and if they don't meet some specific need(s), you'll know exactly what ...

This is an outstanding value and I nearly snatch one up during black friday shopping just because I loved the one I bought for a vacation a couple of years ago! LOL Panasonic does great in-camera ...
