For us LC-A users.

I have always assumed that it's during that exact era that Olympus accumulated huge losses that led to the scandal two decades later.

Curiously, none AFAIK. Manual focus mirrorless lenses for APS-C is an overlooked segment, exclusively filled by Chinese makers that have been phasing out the old crappy recycled C-mount designs...

The notch doesn't shine a (visible) beam into your eye either so makes no difference.

How do FE lenses perform on Z bodies, resolution wise? I gather that Sony system's sensor cover glass is a tad thicker than those of Nikon's. Wonder if that could affect image quality a bit. Thank...

Anybody care to enlighten me if the resolution of FE lenses suffers a bit on Z bodies, since the two systems have different sensor cover glass thickness? Thank you.

I don't think it'll beat the Samyang, which is a well-corrected modern retrofocal lens. Probably a tad better than the 7A, but not that far as you'd imagine as both utilize the classic double-gauss...

This lens has full-on modern optics that's very well corrected. Not for those who're after the "vintage" look.

It's for those who want to have small sized MF precision and a hefty metal...

They're a bit more expensive than they used to be. The 2nd gen VM lenses that they began to churn out in the late 2000s (the previous VM 28/2 Ultron included) were around $600-700. Prices have been...

It's been upon us since 1950.

@ppro69 Cosina/Voigtlander *is* the cheaper options in the Leica M world. Kids are too young to remember the mockery it got when they were first out in the 2000s with the $300 Skopars.

That's how you'd go beyond the stratosphere.

One of those skins available on AliExpress and Etsy. A hell to apply it right though.

It's niche, thus priced accordingly. People who don't need it still won't buy even if it goes for only half as much.

Did a bit of research and this seems to be the solution applied in the Xiaomi: https://www.corning.com/worldwide/en/innovation/corning-emerging-innovations/corning-varioptic-lenses.html

Just what is a liquid lens? Reminds me of the Sutton Water Lens from 1859.

@snapa BTW CNSA had done a miserable job in promoting the mission. Doesn't even have a dedicated page for it, which would be unimaginable for NASA. If you'd like to know more about the Tianwen-1,...

@snapa I'll bite. These pictures of Mars' north pole region was taken by the panchromatic High Resolution Camera (HRC) and Medium Resolution Camera (MRC) on the Tianwen-1's orbiter component. These...

Niel Tyson put it well: Antarctica is much lusher than Mars, but you don't see people contemplating immigrate there.

Not all things seem profitable for the instance, but have to be done in the...

Available as long as that master roll found in a warehouse lasts.
