I haven't seen smartphones with APS-C sensor and 50mm 1.8 lenses.

The Samyang line of small primes pair well with A7C: 24/1.8, 35/1.8, 35/2.8, 45/1.8, 75/1.8 I find all of those lenses very decent optically as well.

People need switching to stay interested in the subject. This is how dopamine in our brains works. It only rewards us in the process of achieving goals while expectations are building up. As soon ...

Great idea. Make a dentist appointment, there is nothing they can't do. 😂

Perhaps putting a small drop of oil in the thread would help the screw to come out.

I have a miniature version on this in my front door, it's called a peephole.

It's perfectly fine to choose APS-C or FF as long as you have good reasons for doing so, which I haven't noticed in your post. Some people choose APS-C because they want a smaller camera and ...

Apparently, there is a solution for Sony: https://youtu.be/JI4pxNF4BNs?t=781

Yes, the flash focus focus assist makes all the difference in the world for low light shooting. As far as I know, there is no mirrorless camera from any manufacturer that can use AF assist, so ...

I had Z6 and Z5 both with the latest firmware in my hands and the focusing is not even close. Z6 (and I would assume Z7 too) success rate is much higher.

Let's try again. We established that for equivalent lenses N (f-number), f (focal length), and c (COC) are all inversely proportional to the crop factor. Use your own formula above and see the ...

As I mentioned in cut out portion of the previous post, COC at the focal plane is inversely proportional to the crop factor. It's obvious as you have to enlarge smaller image proportionally more. T ...

They probably will introduce a lower model later, but not soon as I don't expect they would want to undermine the sales of a more expensive model. Now that the noise improvements are getting very ...

I'm quite surprised at all the jubilation and impression that everybody is lining up to buy the camera. It's quite large/heavy, and expensive camera. I can see some working photographers may want ...

Nope, the subject distance doesn't change for equivalent lenses. The only things that change are focal length, aperture, and ISO -- the first two scale proportionally to the crop factor and ISO ...

I think Nikon is not an exception, all mirrorless cameras may need AF fine tuning with the adapted SLR lenses. The reason is that mirrorless cameras are using PDAF only with adapted lenses, and ...

There isn't one correct answer, it depends on many variables. You can easily decide for the extreme cases, if the sensor resolution much higher than the lens then cropping results in a better ...

So there are basically two possibilities. The camera did attempt to focus on the eye, but due to a small area and bad contrast, it missed the focus, the grass in focus was accidental and it could ...

I originally bought Z6. But when my daughter took for her trip and decided to keep it, I bought Z5 because I though I wouldn't miss much and the pictures look very similar. I was wrong, I missed ...

That's not correct a 35mm f/4 APS-C is equivalent to 54mm f/6.1 lens on FF. From both lenses you get the same FOV, DOF, and SNR. That's why if you want a shallow DOF, an FF camera has a big ...
