Good segment. Like the thoughts. Portrait shoots should also include off camera lighting. I use Odin triggers and receivers for my RP and M6Ii. And 4 speedlights and magmod system. So the $...

I use the R/M combo also
$1450 for my RP + RF 85 F2 IS
$1300 for my M6II + M 32 F1.4 -- sharp wide open and FF equivalent of 50 F2.2.
Both light weight. I put my two Odin triggers --one on each...

Agree with the comment about sigma f1.4 primes. and the comment about older lenses and FF comparison. An additional point is that fuji doesn't work with class leading DXO PL4 Elite with deep...

I know the technique is to give it a fine grain like film look for me application of dxo PL4 Elite Deep Prime does wonders for my photos, even taking them from a digital look to an analogue film ...

got it, thx for explaining

are u bringing up exposure in post that adds all of this noise? suggest using dxo PL4 with deep prime for noise redux

also instead of the munchkin having a beard under their chin with the flat light instead use an m6II with m 32 or a RP with RF 85 f2 -- both can be one handed and then put an odin trigger on the body ...

nice shot that is good -- keep it up the m32 f1.4 does F2.2 really well too and my RF 85 F2 IS on my RP has onboard IS and relatively light weight and low cost DXO PL4 Elite with deep prime NR for ...

underestimating with Cfe cards and tax, at least $7,000 - the wife will really be squawking when you spend this and then hardly ever pull out this mammoth brick with your RF 28-70 for the stuff you ...

prehistoric bird -- any dinosaurs around? great BIF shot!

Notice I didn't say permanently.  I would have it in my Thinktank quick change belt bag much of the time. The time it comes out are for dramatic portraits where unmatched bokeh distinguishes it ...

repeat after me: the lens, the lens, it is about the lens ;) the bright 5x zoom was cool in theory, but you had to stop it down Canon G1X Mark II Review (imaging-resource.com)

below is another thread on the subject, I do think having the right cards/batteries can mitigate the issue you'll also notice in that thread that Sony is not immune When I was investigating my ...

got it - I know this also ;) I hear you, though one could get IBIS for as little at $999 in a fuji body and has to spend more for IBIS in a Canon -- $2500 The big picture is always important to ...

sorry - the RF 35 has 35 FOV the fuji 56 has 84 fov

Delkin Black 256 CFe apparently run "cooler" than other cards.  Heat really does havoc at some point to these complex systems

Sony cameras also lock up. The only time I had a camera lock up in two decades was when I was using a third party battery -- I quit using that third party battery , and the lockups quit happening. ...

That sucks and is an unacceptable workaround not to be able to chimp on the shots taken. This is obviously lower paced shooting as well with the RF 24-105 L. I'd definitely call them and then send ...

yes but 2/3 stops faster is hard to swallow when in fact you have to stop the 50 down to f2.8 to get as sharp as the 32 is at F1.4.  And the bokeh of the 32 is better than the 50.  ie, reason I ...
