Good colors are subjective and yes there is a very noticeable difference in colors between lenses of various brands. I have a preference of the colors and rendering of the Sigma contemporary\ ...

So I had the opportunity to play around with it a bit. My opinion is that its sharp but not as sharp as similar modern lenses. I would say its acceptably sharp but not pin sharp. It has very good ...

I found a data sheet for this lens on another forum. https://allphotolenses.com/public/files/pdfs/d93f15e2a7871ad91a443683a95e5361.pdf Translating the first part of the data sheet to English gets ...

Apparently it has a similar optical formula as the 85 sonnar but its slightly sharper and with better CA control. What puzzles me though is why Zeiss made this lens? its fairly slow (F3.5) and ...

Yes, the Olympus slightly smaller but its optically inferior. According to Philip Reeve: " (1) Zeiss C/Y 3.5/100 : The slower Zeiss weights a little more (but needs an smaller adapter) and costs ...

Interesting, I wasnt aware there was a 100mm 2.8E. I am happy to find this gem, it does seem like the rarest of the Zeiss lenses for the Contax Yashica cameras. It retails for around $500 on ...

I saw one of these for a decent price (90$) and decided to take a chance with it. I have only been able to shoot with it briefly at dusk (less than ideal situation ) but I am pretty impressed. ...

I recently bought the Sony 20mm F1.8, but after owning several wide angles (tamron 17-28mm, tamron 20mm, sony 24mm G, Sony 10-20PZ) ,I have found that I actually dont want to go wider than 24mm. I ...

I had it and eventually sold it. It’s a very sharp lens with macro capability but suffers from severe distortion. I also had the Sony 24mm G but the images out of it didn’t do anything for me and ...

Thanks for the feedback, not surprisingly, I thought the upper right had the best colors. And I am not saying this after your feedback only, it’s something I felt the first time I saw the photos. S ...

I havent shot anything past 300mm, what would you use a 500mm prime for?

did you have white balance, shutter speed and ISO fixed? It would be nice in a colors test to have more than 2 colors and the lighting condition fixed throughout... Not enough information in the ...

Why not 65mm?

Why does it have to be 50mm? have you considered 35 or 40mm? It’s imo a more versatile focal length as a walk around prime. Consider the Sony 40mm G or Sigma 45mm. I currently use a Sony A7C and a ...

Thank you to everyone who responded, I now have an idea of the strengths and weaknesses of this camera...I am looking forward to having some fun with it as soon as i get a Nikon F to fuji X adapter.

Thank you for all the tips. It sounds perfect for my use case, i almost exclusively only use center point af and AF-S and do focus and recompose. Not interested in video. I mostly shoot street, ...

Thanks for your suggestions. I was considering the fuji 35 f2 and using some of my older nikon af-d and ais lenses with an adapter (manual focus). I only use center point AF in AF-S mode and do ...

I am a sony user, I have an A7iv and A7c. I recently saw a used FUJI X-T10 for a good price and decided to snatch it up. I have heard a lot about the cmos x-trans ii sensor and great fuji film ...

yes, its quite normal for this lens. The 85mm 1.8 like the 35mm 1.8 is part of their standard line of lenses and doesn't have any correction for CA. If you insist on a Sony branded lens then you ...
