What else do you need? Did this video still leave you in the fence about shelling cash for that sweet Pronea action?

C'mon, it's a fun, quirky retrospective about a pointless transition product....

Ah, how I loved that Elan. The eye focus could sometimes be hit-or-miss, but when it was a hit, damn you felt like a magical space wizard from the XXIII century.

Dunno if it would work right in...

@tokyojerry, yes, it's all about what's best for you personally.

A larger sensor is (all else equal) always better in absolute image quality... but then again, I don't see many people running with...

Why not?

That's what it is, actually. Just a rebadge.

And every company baking raw files should get called out on it.

(Also, this seems to be not only that they're doing it, but they're doing it poorly).

@photoMEETING... the iPhone 8 has a crop factor of around 7, and a F/1.8 aperture lens with a roughly 28mm equiv FoV.

You should be able to get a similar DoF on full frame with a 28mm F13. Not a...

My uncle bob has a crippling scratch-off lotto addiction.

(srsly tho, there "look pro" uncle bob contingent will be unaffected by computational photography, while the "better camera make better...

The inherent problem with computational photography is that you either need to have a slower effective shutter speed (because you need to take several images), or have several sensors, which...

You're not making any sense.

Canon already came up with a totally new lens mount. the EF-M. It's not a problem, because inside a brand, keeping legacy support is trivial.

Your comment only could...

That would make little sense for them. They have APS-C and MF formats. Building a new FF system from scratch is going to be too much for too little benefit either way.

Then keep it on your camera. It won't add noticeable size or weight.

Remember, we are not debating between adapter or no adapter when it comes to legacy glass. We are debating between removable...

Why not an adapter? it's exactly as good as a native lens mount if you're staying within the brand, and if you don't need it you can chuck it away. If it's that important, just keep it glued to the...

That's not even remotely the point of the article or the video.

Then again, canon is coming up with a 120MP sensor... hmm...

That's as true as saying there's no such thing as an "equivalent focal length/aperture".

Yes, 50 is 50, but as with all things in photography, it's all relative to the framing, since the most...

There's little reason not to use an adapter. They have all the know-how and performance specs. They even have the tech down pat nowadays with dual pixel tech.

And if both are made by Canon, then...

Is it wrong that I do want to see it in a trade-secret-revealing way?

I mean, I have no use for that, just curious.

@gordonpritchard no, people ain't stuck on the iPhone. It's just that your point doesn't make any sense and the iPhone is the clearest example out there.

The images you're trying to get with this...

Well, how many 1.7 zooms are out there?

I guess there's the sigma 16-35 1.8, but technically that ain't as bright.

Also, this is a damned 86x bazooka.

I challenge you to get a close-up of the action with an iPhone in a stadium.

Forget any actual quality. Just, getting a 1080p frame.

Don't be ridiculous.
