Just for clarification, do you mean that the 16 f/2.8 is VERY SHARP, or the 15-45?

What's sad is that the CIPA rating is 300 shots. That's tiny compared with something like the D7200, which has a CIPA rating of 1,100 shots. Sure, CIPA ratings don't reflect real-world shooting, ...

Funny, I was just in Copenhagen, and noticed a fair number of Fujis. Perhaps they are more popular outside of the United States?

Apologies if this is controversial, but I would be very happy if Fuji dropped X-trans all together and switched to Bayer. AFAIK that's why they don't have pixelshift technology, because I imagine ...

I'll be honest, my dream camera is something like the X-T30 but with (1) a larger battery, and (2) IBIS. I'm OK with it being larger, just ideally it's still a bit lighter than the X-T3. But I'm ...

I'm on the fence about getting an X-T30 and 16-80, so the likelihood that I buy into the Fuji system will certainly go up if the bundle these two together for some modest cost savings. But will ...

What you're saying is correct, but I don't agree with your conclusion at the end, assuming I am understanding it correctly. To start, let's call it "depth-of-field (DOF) equivalence" instead of ...

What I'm excited about (1) Sony taking their APS-C lens lineup seriously (2) The focal length is excellent (3) Great weight for ...

Nikon's AF-P VR 70-300 DX (as in their APS-C version, not their FF version) debuted at $400. Today, you can get a Nikon refurbished copy for $150, or a used copy for even less. And it's quite a ...

Love the photo. Is it basically WR even though it doesn't have the official WR designation?

I totally agree. Post-purchase rationalization is a real psychological phenomenon that most people are affected by without knowing it. I honestly wonder sometimes if a good chunk of people's ...

I'm curious when this will happen. It certainly makes sense, although the $800 selling price of the 16-80 is very reasonable on its own. I'm actually surprised they aren't charging more, ...

I believe that APS-C will be around for awhile. In terms of Nikon specifically, I do see them winding down their DSLR APS-C lens and camera creation. That said, think about the number of Nikon ...

The Fuji 16-55 doesn't have OIS, and the X-T30 doesn't have IBIS. Sony is actually the one now with a much lighter weight stabilized solution with the A6600 and 16-55. The X-H1 is a fantastic ...

If the marketing is correct, the advantages of the 16-80 are: * 6 stops of OIS, higher than just about any zoom lens out there and higher than most camera's IBIS * It's the only mirrorless APS-C ...

I second the suggestion of driving up and down the Icefields Parkway. The only issue with this plan however is that you're adding a lot of travel time when you don't have very much time to spend ...

I for one think it's awesome that Sony is finally releasing an f/2.8 zoom for APS-C. It shows that they're taking APS-C more seriously than they have in the past. Similar to Fujifilm, this allows ...

I am really hoping that the final version of 16-80 gets positive reviews. It's the perfect focal length for me to take on hiking and camping trips. If I want to go really light, I could pair this ...

Great images! Especially for this not being a photography-focused trip. I would like to visit the Azores some day.

I appreciate the insight! I had no idea that the Sony 18mm is essentially the Fuji 17mm. For some reason I have this mental hurdle of wanting something lower than 18mm on the wide end, but knowing ...
