Christ, I wonder how much these Pentax guys were smoking?!

As Pentax cameras are among the worst, as of now, what they said four years ago is just typical of the disinformation these guys spread. It was their hope, they would somehow be the best, and who ...

You should really think twice as the Sigma OS version is a delight, far crisper than the 85/3.5 VR. On the other hand, the less weight of the 85/3.5 VR is a bonus, but you maybe should aim for the ...

The shot of that blonde is something extra! That valved version of a trombone the guy is playing in the next image is something I used to play as a kid, ages ago — it gives me a mix of delight and ...

Raymond, Well, those are some awesome shots! Really awesome, not just because of the lens, of course! Some save their old guitars on the wall, why not make a bookcase with that lens and the camera ...

My wife got the Samyang, and I've got the 6.7-13. I use my more, but the tiny Samyang is really nice! Our son is coming on a visit, from the other end of the world.

That's a nice lens, Paul; maybe not as sharp as the 60/2.8, but not quite as heavy either! The Sigma 105/2.8 OS HSM macro is better (has a very effective VR), about as costly, but quite a bit heavier.

That's exactly where I am! An amateur keen on photography, and photo editing (using Aperture, Affinity, DxO and FRV). My 24" 'Early 2009' iMac was developing a lot of problems, when a sum of money ...

Sigma's 150-600 Sports is one fine lens. Focus sharp, correct (I have not done any focus fine adjustments), and just as I like it! Shot with a D3300, that cost me a little over $300 new, with a ...

Indeed, indeed, that's how I mainly use my Nikon 1 gear nowadays! Except for the J5, that is.

Ah, now I got it! That's when bifocals are a blessing (I have 20 vision on one eye, nowadays, and almost 20 on the other, but I sure need reading glasses, or bifocals — have both! That works great ...

Mine was as well, sorry all! I shoot outdoors mainly, not indoor sports!

My copy did come with an F Mount and is the version Ken Rockwell writes about: http://www.kenrockwell.com/voigtlander/20mm-f35.htm Marianne Oelund (often a visitor to this group) has a lot to say ...

Voigtlander lenses are great, and the 40 just came in a new version! The only modern MF lenses I use are the Voigtlander 20 and the 58, both delightful, but I am thinking of getting the new 40!

Oh, is it?! I find the 70-200/4.0G one of the most rugged zoom lenses I own, and one of the faster focusing zooms I own (from infinity to close up to infinity, around 2 seconds, using a D600). My ...

Hear, hear! I use my D3300 in combination with the 70-200/4.0G, which I find work very well!

The Nikon 70-200/4.0G VR is more compact, and very sharp. And not as expensive!

Definitely delightful shots!

The J5, with its Sony 20.4MP sensor, is excellent for wide to normal shots, handsomely beating the Sony I used to own! So a J5, with the 6.7-13 + 18.5 is a lovely, sharp, mix (plus the little ...

That's the reason my 60 got little use. On FX it was on the other hand great! The 85 DX macro works on FX bodies as well (no sideways crop here). The 60 macro was excellent for portraits!
