Wow! That sounds a lot faster than f1.2! Think of what you'll be able to do with that... because I can't think of any purpose. Seheesh, today's newsbag reads like an old Spiratone ad.

That's amazing- this lens does what every other 35mm lens does at f8, and nothing else. Less is more! I'll take ten... ; >

I like accessory lenses, if they're competent. It's much easier to handle. You can remove and replace the lens in a single motion that doesn't leave you wanting an extra accessory hand to juggle a...

Yes! I recall the Yashica Minister-D, current just as I was getting into 35mm. But what about the name? Quiet cameras are useful for wedding photography. Was this one intended for photos in church...

I'm enjoying my new Ricoh GRII. With the add-on wide lens and two crop modes, it covers 21-47mm and fits in a jacket pocket. But it's a different experience from a Fuji. The Ricoh's controls are...

Respectfully, I disagree. I've seen camera and sensor technology advance by leaps and bounds, compared to the gradual, incremental progress in lenses. Moving from a K7 to a K5IIs gave much better ...

It was LOUD. Like a rat trap.

It's not a styling feature- it's what you need to fit such a large glass pentaprism inside. This tracks back to the Nikon F3 HP, and probably before.

I loved the camera, but not the shutter. It was an alarming sound, like a rat trap snapping shut. Weakness in the a 850's shutter was its Achilles' heel. I paid to replace it once, then again...

That's very close to the kit I used for the same purpose. That Sigma 12-24 really has a nice drawing style, with very little distortion. But you should try the Minolta 24-85, a wonderful, more...

Part of the perceived noise problem was the 24mp sensor. When viewing at 1:1 pixels, you were enlarging the image twice as much as your old 12 mp camera, which made the noise look worse. But when...

Yes, my K-1's sensor is miles ahead of this. But I still miss my a850's viewfinder, which was a little bit bigger and brighter.

I've enjoyed using my LX 5. Love the multi-aspect aspect of it- too often I see other photographers who seem captive to the 2:3 format. Looking at the $200-340 prices listed in the Amazon link...

Wow- that's a lot of glass to move around! I still think in-body systems are better, but that's good to know.

When I last bought a Fuji medium format camera, there was an easily discernible improvement over 35mm, easy to see in 11x14 prints. That's not so true anymore. I'm so satisfied with the detail and...

You didn't mention image stabilization, so useful in those low-light situations. Does the new Fuji MF have it? No other MF camera does.

It has no slave function, but it's easy to add a light trigger to the flash's hot shoe mount. You'll need another flash to trigger it, of course. Maybe the small included accessory flash would to, ...

Just a good word for Panasonic's FL 360. I've used this flash under very demanding conditions for at least three years, maybe five. Doing real estate panos with my LX 5, I routinely shoot 100 ...

DPR reviews certainly have changed over the years. There's nary a single graph to indicate the scientific rigor of your analysis. Just subjective user impressions. That's worth something too...

As an ex-Minoltan, I can't resist speaking up for the legendary Beercan. It was an internal zooming, constant f4, 1st-gen AF marvel. Wonderful balance, smooth handling and some of the best bokeh ...
