Nathan: After you ran into strong headwind with your post - and I can understand some people's opposition because simply put people are different -, I'd second your pov. I'm a happy owner of an ...

Why, are you unhappy with yours?

Hi, Koban, I just noticed that you own the 2x teleconverter, too. But you're seemingly not that happy with it at 3.5 stars? Because I have the same combo on order with Calumet - actually they sent ...

Actually, I did some short tests when the lens was new. However, I made the mistake to just compare the center with OSS both on and off. There was no difference whatsoever to be seen in the ...

This is exactly my own experience, Ad. I made the huge mistake to use my 16-35 with OSS on by default on two vacations, until I came up with the idea to systematically check this out. Now I only ...

Yes, I wonder about that, too. Sony announced the lens back in February or something together with the 85mm and the 24-70, said it would be available in May and that price would still be ...

Wow, gorgeous shot. At 100%, you can even see that the focus plane isn't on the eyes but rather half an inch in front on the part of the face between nose and forehead. And the bokeh is very nice, ...

If it's as good as Sony claims, which sounds as if it is going to perform on Leica level, then yes, I would still be interested – in this and the 2x converter. It is less than half the price of a ...

Sorry, I replied to your wrong post above, so here we go: Of course, I completely agree that the f4 with TC would probably be better IQ than cropping. But buying a TC is more expensive than ...

Of coursse, I completely agree that the f4 with TC would probably be better IQ than cropping. But buying a TC is more expensive than cropping, too 😊 So, if I can only make documentary photographs ...

Probably has something to do with the fact that I'm not so much interested in getting the image at all costs, as I'm not a pro, but just in making images in the best possible technical quality if ...

Then let's hope for good performance of the GM ;-)

I'm really not so sure about the latter. The recommended price of the 24-70 is pretty much in line with its Canon and Nikon equivalents, the former a bit less expensive (and quite a bit smaller), ...

Well, actually I'm pleasantly surprised, that it is only as large as its Canon equivalent where it could have easily been bigger because of the smaller flange distance of the E mount. The size ...

Well, I have to say that, as an owner of the FE 70-200/4 for more almost two years now, I think teleconverters would be pretty pointless with it. What do you want from a converter? Reach. So if ...

Maybe the dark exposure for noise control?

And lest I forget: I had an a7R2 for a few days. This gave me no better results than the a7R with the 70-200 and the 16-35, despite its IBIS. But the results with the 90mm were really bad - it ...

Well, I'm not so sure about the conclusions others have drawn with regard to these particular pictures. Although my personal experience with this lens is with an a7R (non-II) I found the ...

Had that happen a few times with my a7R, and it took me a few minutes to figure it out. Anyway, it turned out that I had the 'controls lock' feature assigned to the, I think, 'Fn' button. The next ...

That's right, unfortunately. I was there in August, in all the same spots, and it was completely overcrowded. People having been there for the fourth time told me, that it wasn't nearly as bad ...
