As others have said, the scratch(es) will have no affect on the image quality. See this article on LensRentals: https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2022/11/how-front-element-scratches-affect-your-images/

I believe that some cameras with PDAF also use a final CDAF step to confirm/refine focus.

I don’t think that’s the case. Look at the original list of products that leaked: https://www.l-rumors.com/panasonic-will-soon-announce-two-new-cameras-and-a-new-lens-s5ii-s5ii-x-and-14-28mm-f-4-0-5-6/

Thom Hogan just published an article on this issue: https://www.zsystemuser.com/nikon-z-system-news-and/its-cold-outside.html

The X-H1 had pretty bad shutter shock with certain lenses. Not sure how the IBIS unit in the X-T4 compares, but regardless almost every camera will exhibit some amount within the 1/60-1/125 ...

Rumor is that it’s a new L-mount camera: https://www.l-rumors.com/lots-of-youtubers-are-in-tokyo-now-panasonic-announcement-is-coming/

Even if you can get it for $200, the prices are still within a few cups of coffee of each other.

Source? Your guess/hope does not make it a fact, unless you have some insider knowledge that the rest of us do not have. I don’t know how you can make a statement with such certainty. Your ...

There’s no dispute that they aren’t listed on the roadmap, but there could be a multitude of possibilities for why that’s the case: 1) they don’t intend to make those lenses, 2) they may make ...

There is a 135mm lens on the roadmap on the same line as the 1.8S primes. It has not yet been announced. There are also holes at 28mm and wider than 20mm that are likely to be filled in the 1.8S ...

My thoughts exactly. Well said.

The 50mm 1.2 was on the Nikkor Z roadmap dating back to August 23, 2018: https://nikonrumors.com/2018/08/23/nikon-z-nikkor-lens-roadmap.aspx/amp/ . Note the post date was prior to Canon releasing ...

Why is a series of 1.4 lenses needed? They would be larger, heavier, and more expensive with little optical quality or light gathering advantage. Nikon is clearly laying out 1.2 and 1.8 series of ...

I’ll add to this that you need to be using a desktop browser or viewing in desktop mode for this to work. Unfortunately, the mobile forum site is not nearly as powerful when it comes to searching ...

It would be helpful to know what type of photography you do to help us answer your question.

Tell me how many films have color grading that perfectly matches reality. Many films are graded with non-natural looking colors and saturation to fit the mood. Same with photos from any camera ...
