The TTartisans 21mm 1.5 would be interesting on the X-pro3 (review - https://phillipreeve.net/blog/review-ttartisan-21mm-1-5/ ) It's pretty affordable and it ticks a lot of your criterias that you ...

Also found a video comparing to Fujifilm 56mm 1.2 which I own -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZsTEos2plE (specifically from 04:00 mark for backlit shots) Note: Video is more "real world" and not ...

All good. I have found a "similar" image on my end that I would be happy to share later (obviously) if you are OK with it. Happy to share the raw files as well for you to experiment with.

It feels like something I have seen in my pictures which is acceptable by my standards. But it feels that you have lifted the shadows quite abit ? Looking at your LR settings that is about right..

For nikon Z can't you use megadap?

So megadap Z to M mount + Nikon F to M mount + Nikon AI/S/D series

You could always use a techart pro adaptor + Nikon F to M adaptor to mount your D series lenses...

Yes you won't get exif data, and there is a weight limit. But it works great on primes.

Thanks for sharing. Great article. The OP should check it out.

Yeah agree that back in the day the 3rd party manufacturers were all pretty substandard. I guess I am different in a way, I currently own other camera lines and do own 3rd party lenses (sigma, ...

What about fujifilm DR ? Personally never liked it, but I guess it makes it easier for more casual photographers who just want a “good” photo without much work in post. source: https://www.jmpeltie ...

Also to note that the Fujifilm X-mount is now open to 3rd party manufacturer. Although it’s possible that viltrox may have had to either reverse engineer or may have had to work with fujifilm on ...

I am confused. I read the article ok ETTR.. ok...you included some pictures - taken by Fuji and one edited... you included a “much” better looking photo taken from a smart phone but the scene had ...

I don’t have a A7r4 but I have been following this thread. Have you tried resetting your camera ? (Might be worth a shot)

To the OP I follow a youtuber that has both cameras this was his initial look - https://youtu.be/T1MJgsrbDQo interesting how “soft” the images look on the monochrom at the “extreme” ISO.

Understand you have stated you are not interesting in renting. My suggestion is for you to go to a camera store and try to get your hands to see how it “feels”. what kind of focal length were you ...

I only can speak from my experience. My setup was purely revolves around weight.. more specifically I was balancing  “optical quality” vs “1.4 vs 1.8” vs weight.. my rationale was .. if it’s ...

Great suggestion. Problem solved. Just get both !

- Would you be better off getting a "normal" Q2 and convert your pictures to B&W ? If you want the "flexible of both" ? -Q2 uses a leaf shutter up to 1/2000 beyond this it uses Electronic shutter ...

And/Or submerged in water...

Ok. I am assuming that’s USD ? I am just checking in my local market (Australia), grey market brand new from HK is $2800 AUD. Recently sold prices on eBay (Australia) is about $2600 AUD  for low ...

To the OP what is considered a “good price” is it too good ? Or just “good” ?
