Ah, so I need to be a PhD do have a deep lack of humor but upgrade my logic to "mediocre"?

Wow, that's a wrong assessment of Apple then! But very cool that they mentioned you personally.

Indeed. I thought my Magic Keyboard and Trackpad that costed $69 or $79 each are expensive...

I think the probability that a toilet paper companies will go bankrupt is much higher than Apple going bankrupt.

- They need to suddenly be able to produce a lot, much higher than their initial...

I don't know about this new one, but a TC should not (safely) fit on lenses such as these super-zooms.

In any case, I wouldn't even think about putting a TC on such lens out of sharpness/contrast...

Would that 1/3-1/2 stop mean so much to you?

For primes or heavy professional zooms (like the f/2.8 range) lenses, I understand. But for such superzoom I wouldn't care that much. I would rather...

I'm actually very interested in the 24-200mm.

The F-mount 28-300mm (and the old Canon lens) were really too much of a difference with the primes that I used professionally. But I have the feeling...

Thanks @s1oth1ovechunk.

"Hard to believe" -- I mean that there is not much to wish for when looking at the Canon/Nikon professional cameras. That's why I was wondering what could possibly be...

Anyway, I was hoping somebody could shed some light on the build quality. Is this the new holy grail? Should war-zone photographers, extreme weather photographers, etc. switch to Panasonic?

Again, I don't see why you are attacking me. Did I attack somebody or did I say something that is incorrect?

I just said that given the history, the big Nikon and Canon cameras were the pinnacle...

I don't know where these sarcastic and useless replies come from, but okay.

Let me explain what I exactly meant: the Nikon D5 (and other versions) and Candon 1Dx (and other versions) were always...

Wow, the assessment (the bar at the scoring section) of the build quality is a little over the D5 and 1DxII assessment... Bit hard to believe?

I think you are in the minority here, Michiel. Few portrait photographers consider a 58mm and 85mm as "interchangeable" focal lengths for a certain image. And probably even fewer would not care...

I'm wondering, why do you shoot weddings with an Otus?

Personally, I'd even rather use the 85/1.8 AF-D than a manual focus (and heavy) Otus for events where people move and are not waiting for you...

I also expected the EF f/1.2 to be included in the comparison. Of course the new lens will crush it...

But many of us probably have experience with the EF f/1.2, so it's a good reference lens.

From my experience in a major camera store, Canon bodies seemed to the bottleneck. Lenses break very seldom (not considering letting a camera/lens fall). Nikon bodies had much less problems in...

How did we suddenly started thinking about camera straps when looking at a 85mm?

I don't think many "pros" (that is, full time photographers) are switching now to Canon RF as their working camera. The camera bodies are not comparable to a 1D or 5D series.

And no, a slightly...

If clients won't notice the difference between f/1.2 and f/1.4, they will not notice bokeh differences either. (And I agree they will not notice either.)

Ok. Apparently it's not worth clearing up?
