can we all just agree this whole lomography thing has gone just a bit too far?

oh, we are.

This lens isn't as bitingly sharp and contrasty as the current generation of 50mm lenses, but when stopped down it produces a soft sharpness that is simply superb for portraits. A camera is just a ...

I think it is pretty clear who the winner is: Hasselblad. I didn't find the 24K Gold Nikon DF all that egregious as it wasn't a production model from the manufacturer and the ergonomics would have...

I prefer aged Cognac, you get more of a heady kick from that.

On my calibrated display the issue highlighted in the crops is appears to be longitudinal chromatic aberration, It's very common with non-apochromatic lenses. The cheapest solutions are to either ...

Thanks to CoVid-19 it is now considered appropriate to use 300mm lenses for full length portraits.

This thread is going absolutely nowhere, and is about as informative as photographs of brick walls. I call upon the mods to close this thread.

The only difference between a linear polariser and a circular polariser is a quater wave plate on the back of the circular polarisers - that's it . The polarising elements are exactly the same, and ...

..brilliant, just brilliant, THIS is why we can't have nice things.

The exotic glass types used and the use of what appear to be ground aspherics make this lens a very costly thing to make. Along with the R&D costs for the lens and internal electronics would have ...

Affordable MF is already here, it just depends upon the number of compromises you are willing to put up with (Fuji,Hasselblad and Pentax).
