Thanks, I appreciate that. Both lenses have things to offer. Good to have options.

Gee, I already said I'm not buying the lens, and now I'm being accused of excessive consumerism? Every few ounces matters to me. I carried around heavier gear for years, but now my hands are not up ...

Off the top of my head, price, size, focal length. As I said, I'm holding onto the 90 macro for now. Still interested to see how the Sigma tests out.

It will be interesting to see how close the Sigma can get to the CV as far as image quality. But the manual focus and aperture of the CV is too much for me. Personally, I like autofocus with ...

That's my understanding. Internal focus lenses tend to become a shorter effective focal length at closer focus distances. Can be a big disadvantage with macro lenses.

I got an email today from B&H Photo that the lens is not yet in stock but can be preordered now. Reasonably priced at $569. I'm holding off as I already have the Sony 90mm Macro. But I'd be very ...

I have my eyes on that one. We'll see how good it is after it gets into people's hands.

I have both. Micro4/3 for a number of years. And Sony FF for 2-3 years. The A7RII is almost the same size as my E-M1. Lenses are a different story. I have almost all zooms with M4/3 and almost all ...

As already mentioned, digital sensors don't seem to benefit from filters to reduce UV,  like film did. I stay away from Skylight, as they seem to add a cast to the color. I've only had problems ...

I don't think you are correct on that one. I'm not aware of dual IS working when Panasonic and Olympus are mixed. So, not 100% compatible.

I've had mixed experience with the 8-18. I bought it not long after it was released. Mine had a soft corner. At that time a lot of people were reporting similar problems. I returned it for a refund. ...

Give me an f/3.5, for smaller and lighter. Using the 24-70 F/4 for outdoor, landscape now. But would like a similar range lens that's a notch up in IQ.

Sorry, it was just sold on another site.

I might look into that. I used the one supplied with the monitor, but maybe High Sierra is more demanding.

Not sure if it's related, but I've been having a monitor issue from day one after upgrading to High Sierra. Have a MacPro and BenQ monitor. After upgrade, turn the computer on and monitor comes on ...

Used a few times, almost like new. Works fine. comes with nylon pouch, instruction manual, foot stand, original box. Shipped with tracking. $200 shipped to ConUSA.

A year ago I was looking for a zoom in that range instead of buying primes. Bought the Sony 24-70 F/4. It's weakest at the zoom extremes, so makes a nice 28-50 zoom. Would consider the Tamron if ...

Yes, I probably would have been disappointed with the OM-707 after owning the the OM2n and OM4t.

Olympus had a famous SLR system called "OM" that was mainly fully manual, With the exception of the OM-2, OM-4, OM-4Ti, OM-10, OM-20, OM-30 and OM-707. They are auto exposure and auto aperture, but ...

Yep, some of the best lenses we can put on our micro 4/3 cameras are the Olympus 4/3 lenses. I also have the 50mm macro and haven't found anything better.
