Portion Control

I got an X-T2 with 18-55 with a Mack Warranty offered by my retailer. Had a similar issue with the lens and sent it in. I don’t know what service center they contract with but after getting it ...

Thanks for sharing. I’ll check out the pergear 25/1.8. Pergear’s website also has sections for 7Artisans, TTArtisans, and Brightin Star… are they all the same factory, same company, or some kind ...

The 40-45mm “true” normal focal lengths. Only native option is 27/2.8 pancake. There are lots of faster 3rd party options though. I’m aware of the Kamlan 28/1.4, as well as the 7Artisans 25/1.8 and ...

So if it’s not as sharp in the center at 1.4, how is it more suited to the future 42MP sensor than the o.g. 35?

Ok, sounds like the 7Rii is really the better choice here. My prospective use case calls for just one moderate-wide lens (eg 35/1.8), but buying a lens is already such a crap shoot with copy ...

Just looking at how cheap they are and how nice that sensor is for detail and DR at the price point had me considering the og a7r as a landscape and casual portrait camera. Don’t need fast AF as ...

I’ll be pretty disappointed if we current XT30 users don’t at least get classic neg, clarity, and HDR settings in a fw update sometime around the launch of the mark ii. It’s already tough to hang ...

Very nice. Reminds me of the 40mm Tessar from a Rollei 35, except, you know, with a faster aperture. But very similar sharpness roll-off towards the corners, and high contrast.

The thing about Fuji in-camera JPEG looks is that they are really hard to match perfectly with post processing software. ACR had been historically bad at it and even C1 doesn’t get any of them...

How is the sharpness of the Laowa 9mm compared to the 14mm? I had the option of picking up a used Zeiss 12mm or  Fuji 14mm and ultimately chose the 14 because it was sharper. Could’ve been sample ...

Looking for someone who knows from experience, or maybe has a link with an answer. I’ve looked and couldn’t find one. The D800 (which IMO shoots fine video quality for my purpose) does have some ...

I have a D810 (albeit with a third party lens - Tamron 45mm) and an X-T30 (with 14/2.8 and 35/2 XF) and I find that the focus with my X-T30 in C-AF tracking + face detect to be better, faster, ...

I suffered though trying to get my X-T2 to work as a webcam using Fuji’s abysmal software for way too long before discovering the existence of cheap “HDMI capture” devices on Amazon. You can get ...

Thanks. Does anyone here have any galleries of work done with the high res mode on the s5? They’re hard to hunt down in the wild. Giving up so much of the range but splitting the difference on the ...

Hobby photographer with three areas of focus: landscape, casual/candid environmental portraiture, wildlife. Using two digital cameras: D810 with Tamron 45/1.8 and Fuji X-T30 with 35/2 and 14/2.8. N ...

Is having the rear element of a supertelephoto lens spaced relatively far out from the imaging surface a general necessity in optical design or just a relic from the SLR days? In other words, could...

It starts out at f/4, and it ends up at f/5.6, but how quickly does the minimum aperture close up? Is it between f/4.5 and f/5 at 200mm, like the 55-200? Just idle curiosity as I wait for my local ...

I feel like it must be that people who dismiss Foveon never printed the results. They do bear out massive enlargements and carry details from the scene that you just won’t get at an...

Nice to see the M-Rokkor 40mm on a Leica and a Series E on an FM2. Matches the theme.

Great to see some results being shared from this lens. It is very tempting and would balance much better on my smaller x-cam than the 100-400.
