I found the Sigmas focal length to aperture ratio very appealing. And it's lightweighted, sharp, cheap, fast AF and small. A beautiful gem IMHO: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4415691

ah.... :-) Thanks!

Assuming a proper RAW workflow one will honestly have a hard time to differentiate between m43, APSC or FF unless you crawl onto the screen with a magnifying glas and count individual pixel. And ...

I have read "GAS" many times and probaby understand what it means: somehow to feel the strong urge that something different will be much better than the current equipment. But what exactly does ...

To summarize my impressions: (1) basically you're agumentation is completely valid - you really might go and check FF then. But chose carefully, I'm not 100% convinced EOS RP will do it video wise. Othe ...

+1 This is exactly my thinking. Not wide enough, and fast for circumstances I don't encounter. And for those rare cases I DO need f/1.7 there are prime alternatives I'd rather pick. (like the ...

In case you're wondering HOW to encode the videos: try FFMPEG, which is a commandline tool which basically can do (almost) everything in the scope of videofile conversion, extraction, younameit...

Great, thanks for taking the time to publish those, much appreciated. I find your photos show a great sense of colors and design. And I agree: those high contrast rainy nightshots scream for over ...

Yep, true, was a typo ..  10,5mm/f0.95 ! Btw, would you mind showing a before/after comparison of one of your photos? (pick any you like). Thanks.

Did you have a chance too shoot with the Voigtlander 10,5/1.7 by chance? I have been wondering about the lowlight street photography capabilities of that beast for a long time.

Woah, those are great photos. I love the perspectives, the contrast, the colors, everything. I have the impression you'd do equally good with just about any lens you'd been given. 👌🙂

Does it defish during video capture as well?

Haha, nice catch. :-)

I very much agree to this approach of photography. Yes, its possible to get along two or three lenses. But is it desirable? Having the choice between many lenses is fun. Even adapted lenses can ...

Eric, without knowing whats the problem in the specific shots you mentioned its hard to give advice. When reading your post I was thinking: what is he thinking? The tele-range around 150mm is ...

Beautiful photos with great composition and atmosphere 📸👍

Beautiful shots, Gary. I completely share your thoughts in the Oly 8mm/1.8 FE. Does the incamera defishing apply to video also? I expect realtime defishing needs much higher processing power. Btw, ...

Excellent results. Thanks for providing fullres images. 👌

No worries. Just to be sure: you noticed it can be de-fished? In Oly bodies even in-camera...

You can get a used Oly 8mm/f1.8 fisheye for about 650$. Thats roughly 150$ over the Laowa Lens. The fisheye is fast, sharp and offers AF (might be a minor advantga for that FOV) and can easily be ...
