Not a big fan of the 28mm equivalent myself, but I'm not alone on the planet, plus, cell phone afficionads might feel right at home with it. Anyways, APS sensor and actually lighter than the...

Who likes to see people fail? I certainly don't but I'm not surprised either.
A few years ago, looking for a quality camera small enough to be carried around everyday, I considered buying one......

Sounds great, I'll have to try it. The next step would be extending it to include info on the camera for digitalized film pictures.

@ Sunshine7913: yes, but the Sigma is one of these modern lenses which sacrifice light weight for performance. At about 815 grams, it is definitely not in the same class as the Chinon 55mm f/1.4...

Sweet way to start! Maybe one of these days I'll get one of those. Actually found one one day at the flea market but I had already bought a Spotmatic that day and the price was a bit much for my...

When we started expecting top performance wide open? I have a Chinon 55 f/1.4, actually pretty nice and sharp at f/5.6, acceptable at f/2, but at f/1.4, well... in favorable circumstances you may...

Well, I do use CCTV lenses quite a lot - the "Green trim APS-C" sorts are pretty nice indeed, and I'd be quite happy to have the possibility of knowing what lens I used. There are actually little...

And me too!

But normallly one DxO version dosn't kick the orlder one out - at least not on my computers. I installed Photolab a whie ago, but opticsPro 10 and -11 are still tehre and I can run them whenever I...

Well, for one I've never managed to get Nik to work in Lightrooom, and I've hear others with similar experiences. I don't know how the DxO update would work (I've bought DxO photolab and never...

Where? I'm looking at the press releases on their website, but I see nothing recent about viewpoint. Well, I'd be curious but anyways I'd be hard pressed to quote a feature I'd like to see...

The PhotoLab update sounds good, actually addresses a few points I wanted to see :). I wrote them a few weeks ago inquiring about the possibility to introduce image reversal for processing...

Oh my God.... the designers of the original Pentax must be cringing in their graves! But well, at least that Robot Pentax must have a one advantage: you must get a lot of happy faces for portraits!

@ Nikoncanonfan: pity... I have a Spotmatic cadaver (previous owner must have dropped it over the extended rewind lever so it tore off, by the look of it), Could have grafted its prism and have a...

Unless the Leica are using a lot more battery than its analog brothers and sisters, it can go a looooooong way on one! I have a couple of Minoltas SRT and XG that are still running with the battery...

Hope they make it. Their DxO suite really deserves to succeed (and yes, I did try Lightroom and DxO before spending my hard earned money on DxO, even though it was the expensive option)

"it's harder to nail focus stopped down"... no, really? How surprising... But since Leica is building a system designed for manual focus only, I would have expected it to be be able to work the...

@ Radu: something about that indeed. I vaguely remember (I was in my teens back then) mentions of the insane amount of information all these pixels could provide. And now consumers complain about...

Substantially smaller, and prettier, which , for a good deal of the target audience, are two key points. Not sure the GX85 does the selfie flip either...

So, it pretty much supports common wisdom. Your cell phone can make some pictures taht will look nice when shown to your friends on cell phone screen, and that is pretty much it. What really...
