Great video! I agree about the Sigma 18-50, which I just acquired. It embodies exactly what I want in an APS-C system - light and compact yet still f2.8, with a very useful focal range for indoor...

I too love the idea of the 28mm focal length and f1.4 f stop, and have also put off buying it because of the size/bulk.  I think it would have been a better overall balancing of the factors if ...

The problem is that you may then look at the dial and see a shutter speed ... that the camera doesn't next use to take a picture. In other words, the dial is "lying" if its acting only as a...

The best travel indoor people photos lens for me -- I typically don't take/like people pics at wider than 28mm (full frame quiv.), constant f2.8 keeps ISO down at telephoto end and gives blurrier ...

For a general indoor friends/family lens, the constant f2.8 tips the balance for me to the Sigma.

I feel the same way.  A top notch portrait lens with beautiful rendering.  It didn't become something else with the release of v2.

This is actually an interesting question. Fuji usually uses the same sensor across its XT/XE line of the same generation. I also wonder whether it will use this 40mp sensor in the XT50 and XE5.

Not offering the grip is not what "dumbing down" usually means. I would also bet that a very small percentage of people with the Xt3 / xt4 bought the Fuji grip. I know I didn't. The outrage here...

So you own the X-T4 but to date haven't bought the grip, threaten to "maybe" buy it now, yet are bemoaning the lack of a grip on the X-T5. Obviously it isn't something you need, and seems to be...

Because people like you equate weight/heft with quality even when it isn't true, as with the modern plastics used on name brand lens mounts. Saying "it's obvious" is not evidence of anything. You...

Why? Are you aware of nikon lenses with a plastic mount have had some sort of materials-related failure? If you research it, you will find out plastic in this context doesn't mean cheap or...

This is not correct.  There is no such thing as "more bokeh."  Bokeh is the QUALITY of the out of focus area, not the quantity or amount of depth of field.

Purim is only 1 day.  Perhaps you are thinking of Passover (or Sukkot, which is the other long one and is the holiday taking place now).

I had an xpro2 with a non-wr lens on that got destroyed by a pretty big splash on a boat.

I'm looking forward to this lens myself.  I would have bought a Sony APSC camera had they updated their A6400 in the past year or two, but still there is no new Sony APSC camera in sight.  So I ...

I for one am waiting for one now that there are 3rd party APS-C e mount lenses available that meet my lens needs.

The 90mm requires a relatively high shutter speed, or a camera with IBIS, to avoid seeing camera shake, so keep that in mind regarding that lens. I think the original 56mm f1.2 gives top grade ...

Try doing without flash for a bit and see how it goes.  I think most people these days shoot casual pictures without flash.  Soon your kid will be moving around, and the toddler years are not that ...

Once again, exactly.  There hasn't been significant low light improvement in any camera in the last few years, and there won't be until there is an entirely new technology (or cameras start ...

Exactly.  The higher pixel density=worse overall image quality was true years ago, but is no longer correct.  For a while now the technology has developed to a point where there is essentially no ...
