I've shot extensively with both. They're both great lenses - the benefit I'd give the Batis is it's bitingly sharp all the way from f2, and my perception is it deals with CA marginally better. The ...

It's massively overpriced in the UK by some margin. Comparing B&H to Wex: (1) 17-28: $899 / £799 (2) 28-75: $879 / £699 (3) 70-180: $1,199 / £1,349

They're not going to be some way down Canon's priority list. Truth is, value conscious RF buyers are more likely to adapt EF lenses, than spend double that cost on a RF lens. I'll expect there will ...

99% of the time it'd be picked up - however I did have one where there was no markings on the cassette to indicate it was B&W film. And yes, whole new batch of chemicals needed.

11. Sending off a B&W film to be processed as colour.

As someone who spent many a year running a high street photo lab, this is something A LOT of people did.

Or three lemons in my case unfortunately. Horses for courses in this respect. A compact 70-150/2.8 would be the perfect lens for me - so the Tamron fits my needs a whole lot better than something ...

Just to be clear, I'm not saying the size/weight saving is a result of no OSS - simply that it's size/weight saving is likely to be as much of a benefit as OSS. I still don't think that adds real ...

I just don't feel the review has real world context for those who will use the lens. In my view, the lack of OSS is countered by it's much more compact size and weight - moving the centre of ...

Yeah I do think it's something that plagued Sony more than most with their early FE lenses, but I think with their latest releases they appear to have made strides forwards. I'd like to think a ...

I really don't think it's as simple as that. The 70-200GM is easily the worst Sony lens I've owned (and I've tried a few copies). Anything above 150mm and it just fell apart IQ wise. You'll find ...

Godox - either V1S, or remotely utilising XPro-S. I'm aware there's a number of things that can be done to reduce the lag - however the A9's are still some distance behind the A7III in flash ...

I've not said they're the main buyers of the 5D type camera - I've said it's the main type of body used in that sector of photography. There's a big difference there. Really? How do you expect me ...

Pretty much this. I feel like it'll be a serious case of "no free meal ticket". Yes the video specs look incredible, but I'm bracing myself for the associated cost. A $6k R5 with all the video ...

Why? The cooling alone for those video specs is going to be huge. Yes there are R&D costs baked into all cameras, but the overriding hardware costs will be unquestionably lower.

That's pretty much my point. I honestly think with just a slight spec push of the R6, Canon could do a serious land grab of users who have potentially already moved/planning on moving, but don't ...

I know. But to reiterate again, I've stated from the off that I'm looking at this scenario from a stills only shooters perspective. I don't know why you're trying to shoehorn video into this. Prett ...

Basically, yep. An R5 without the video specs.

It might be worth taking a look to see how many people have a "A7III vs A9" thread when looking at buying their next Sony body. They're really not a million miles apart. Hopefully they won't be ...

Oh dear. Why are you looking for an argument? When I've cleared stated I'm basing this on 'stills only' users, video features aren't relevant. Okay - what's the main camera wedding/event ...

Hi all, With a kit refresh now due, I was contemplating my options, with a potential interest in the R5 (that does seem to be wavering with the heavily video focussed specs). The footprint of the ...
