That's a slightly simplified version of the truth.

It's a complex combination of increased control over the supply chain, increasing cost, politics (Taiwan), shrinking Chinese market.

Username checks out :-)

? That's akin to saying you can't drive a US-made car in Europe because the speedo is in mph. People make conversions all the time.

You know, apples to apples. The point OP was trying to make is...

The point still stands:

1,100 USD (in the US) vs 1,700 USD (in Germany at 1,600 EUR). That's more than just VAT.

Focus breathing seems to be very well controlled, i.e. not really an issue at all. I think Gerald Undones review covers all the bases, and it seems to be a winner as a travel lens (and in general)....

Great news. Now give us a FF Zfc.

Couldn't agree more.

The real FL would be ~7 mm (19mm divided by 2,7).

I do understand lens equivalency, just had a severe brainfart as it seemed so far off that one would equip a camera with such a wide FOV. Skimmed the article, and misread the...

Thanks for the link Roland.

It’s clear. You are right, and I am sorry.
The phrasing in the article really threw me off.

Clarification: A 23mm lens on an APSC sensor will have the same FOV as a 35mm lens on FF. If the 23mm lens could be mounted on a FF, (disregarding image circle) it would have just that: a FOV...

Are you at full mental capacity right now?

You wrote ‘19mm equivalent lens’ in your initial post, which implies that you are mixing up focal length/FOV of that given focal length in FF-terms...

Its a 35mm equivalent lens. Literally says so in the article…

You’re such a diva…

I’m betting on them scaling up the sensor from the Fuji XH2. That is roughly 94 MP in FF format if I’m not mistaken…

I hope 94 mp is sufficient 😉

Nerdy. I wasn’t convinced, as I highlighted. We both decided to feed the troll - just with different diets 😏

And believe me when I say that many of my colleagues ask the same question whenever...

If we assume that OP seems sincere (?), it would be a good idea to explain why an iphone is not the optimal tool, instead of snarky comments.

First of all, there's an underlying premise in OP's...

I wonder if the A7R5 will launch with a FF version of this sensor.

But impressive leap in resolution and specs. Fuji means business.

I was referring to your profile - the animation?

Last part was a joke. Oh well.

If it's any consolation, Barney is reppin' Nikon at his new job as well.
Which, btw, seems to be founded by an ex Nikon executive.

Now to figure out what username he used when trolling Canon and...
