Very nice indeed. I think the old lenses have nice character because they didn't use aspherical elements and special glass. There were more aberrations but bokeh looked better, softer, more organic.

Never read fine print or you will lose faith in humanity.

There isn't even 1g on any rides, in fact it feels less acceleration than I get in my car. I had no problems having a camera bag on rides, but I didn't take pictures, wasn't trusting my hands.

@jnd -- it would be great if all applications have been rewritten for high density monitors, but unfortunately, the reality is that still lots of legacy applications are used, even by Windows...

If they always do pixel binning then it's not different than a sensor with a smaller number of pixels. You don't reduce or increase noise by cutting pixels into smaller ones (disregarding second...

The recently announced 200MP Samsung sensor raises many questions. The pixel pitch is just 640nm, that's in the middle of the visible spectrum. How is it possible to make microlenses and color ...

A better question, how did they manage to make color filters and microlenses for 640nm pixels, especially for red light that has longer wavelength than that. One red photon would spread over a...

In that tiny 200MP sensor pixel size is just 640nm, that's a wavelength of red/yellow photons. The diffraction in visible spectrum is running rampant on that sensor. What can be a MTF50 for that...

Even Samsung can't violate laws of physics.

Samsung didn't even bother to provide anything better than 1080p presentation.

I wouldn't know what to do with 8k monitor. There are few video cards supporting that resolution, and everything is going to run slow, while the power consumption jumps up, and you are not even...

32 inch is too small for 4k, you'll have to go with over 100% scaling, otherwise the legacy applications that are not designed for high density monitors will have too small bitmaps and unreadable...

I think you can take any lens, you will simply select different subjects and framing. Last time I went to Disneyland I had only Samyang 35/2.8 on Sony A7iii. I loved compact setup, glad I didn't ...

From my experience shooting in hot days, AF has hard time focusing with any precision on distant objects My guess is that shimmering air results in low correlation images from phase detect pixels, ...

The dynamic range seems to be very strongly compressed. Is that HDR from multiple exposures or you managed to push the single exposures that much?

Not really, LoCA cannot be automatically corrected, you may try Lightroom tool, which will try to hide the color fringing, but it usually doesn't work well.

I sold my 35/1.8 lens. I doesn't mean it's a bad lens, but in my view it's just average, nothing to write home about, and I already have other 35mm lenses that are no different. I'm thinking of ...

40mm is likely a classical double gauss design, it's going to be soft wide open and glowy due to spherical aberration. People like that look in portraits.

I doubt that eye-control AF is useful. And it's not the first time Canon tries it. The first time Canon used it in EOS A2 in 1992. It never became a popular feature, so they dropped it.
For...

Now do comparison with Samyang 24/1.8.
