Fujifilm not having an 18mm F/2 MKII is the biggest con for me. And no weatherproofing unlike the X100V.

I would stretch a bit and get the E-M1 II and get a Panasonic 14mm used or just get a refurb X-T3/X-Pro3 and buy the 18mm f2 used.

The closer you focus, the further out the lens optics are from the camera body. So it's a matter of mechanical design. For the lens focus cam to be in contact with the RF cam in the body (to feed...

I think I prefer not to have purple fringed out of focus areas in my images so I'll stick with APO over f/0.95.

$1500 is small change, look at Hermes bags. It's a better comparison.

That looks promising, I had the E-mount version when I had an A7RII and it was great so I will probably pick it up.  It would be great to see a proper L-mount version with electronic contacts.

Anyone know which one would be the best for SL/TL cameras?

Are Cosina/Voigtlander ever going to join the L-mount alliance and produce these in L-mount?

Like the "crossing off the days" sample!

Here are some more pics taken with the Leica-T and 24mm Sigma from the weekend.

Hi Ross.  One thing I noticed about it today, when I was outside for longer, was that at short distances the AF is better than I remember when I previously had a TL body and the 18mm Elmarit-TL. Be ...

I did love my 50mm f1.2 AIS

Sounds about right.  Their quality control was all over the place.  I had a UC 24-50mm zoom around that time, which admittedly was in their lower price line, but the front half came off in my hand.

Unfortunately has to be AF for me on the T, so the Voigtlanders are out. >Have to admit I had a very bad experience with a Sigma supposedly Pro lens many years ago How long ago was that? I had a ...

Yes I had that in mind when I saw it announced. I'm sure the 23mm Summicron is better in some ways (like speed), but 50% more expensive even well used. The Sigma adds close focus and it's a bit ...

I'd love a firmware update! Here is a pic I just took of an 8mm nut/bolt on my desk (the nut is 8mm across), it was pretty much touching the hood at min. distance. The autofocus is better than I ...

I can say now after spending half an hour this lunchtime, that the battery consumption is totally normal. I took about 50 pics and the battery level remained the same throughout. I posted some of ...
