...is not about any one camera setting, not large aperture shallow depth of field, nor any single post processing technique, but rather how they're fit together. What stands out to me, in a more ...

Sony's 20-70 f/4 lens announcement is instructive, but owing especially to hybrid video, it feels like manufacturers are searching for a slightly different wide-normal zoom range.  Interesting ...

I've been saying for a while that this was the obvious next evolution of the pattern for the trans-standard zoom. A couple of decades back the wide end started at 35mm, it then moved to 28, then...

I should imagine I could bill them a monthly consulting fee for leaving it on?

The whole roadmap was a way of saying to potential customers that Nikon will develop and sell a complete EVF camera system. Between pandemic and global supply chain issues , they seem to have done ...

I think simple barrel distortion is probably the least destructive digital correction one could design around a mirrorless camera lens. You wouldn't introduce too much false data in the important...

#pedantic - It's actually closer to 40mm than 39mm equivalent, since DX is really ~ 1.53X which makes 26mm a 39.78mm equivalent.

Automatic :)

There's a lot of people for whom it will seem unwittingly familiar: iPhone users have had a 26mm equivalent standard lens for some time now. I'm curious about this one, seems a good candidate for a ...

Some will recall some time ago a Nikon China sample image file got posted that was 67MP. I wouldn't put much in this, but image sample files that turned out to be legit have leaked in this ...

Some hairs need splitting :)  you’re not wrong, though I’d argue with your definition of “close”, your point is worth making. The rectilinear distortion you see here is amplified by both wide ...

If Nikon comes out with a Z4. I can imagine the promo code: type Z4skins, get 10% off. :D

I guess studio images aren't worth that much compared to location shots :LOL:

I wonder if it wouldn’t just be advantageous to start engineering mirrorless hybrid bodies with larger batteries in mind?  They’d have to move the memory card access to another part of the body, ...

I have routinely asked Nikon for a UWA-35 f/2.8 that takes filters, perhaps more than anyone on this board in recent time. That said, I own and continue to shoot Nikon's excellent f/2.8 zoom trio ...

OK, I've learned that people online are sometimes sensitive about critique.  I've never had a problem in real life, but have stepped in it a few times online, so with that said... The exposure of ...

I’ve seen these things with close to 2 million actuations, and bits of rubber/doors/ports held on with duct tape, still blasting away…

It looks like they're trying to support professional and wealthy nature enthusiasts... I'd argue that portrait primes don't really matter much to that set.  If you want a news agency to pick up ...

I would suggest this only very softly, because I think we often use focal lengths as a shorthand for a bunch of assumptions about typical working distances. Within reason, and often dictated by ...

Yes.  It is.  I think shallow depth is overused to the point of cliche.  Too often it’s a crutch that people lean on when they don’t have any ideas about composition.  They think blow out the ...
