It depends on a couple of factors. Firstly, it depends on the lenses. I use the OVF almost exclusively for the 35 f2 and 18 f2, as they are small and don't obstruct the OVF. With zooms like the ...

@Critical Thinker so you're fine with deceptive advertising?

@6BQ5 horses for courses. For travel, having to change primes in dusty or wet conditions would not be optimal. In which case, the price is justifiable. I can't speak about the build quality of the...

@arbux you missed the whole point. Comparing a fixed focal length lens to a zoom: false equivalence much?

I agree with you, but only conditionally, that this is a good option. But only if:
1. You do not intend to upgrade your camera for the some time
2. You do not update your operating system (this may...

The Laowa is unusable below 9mm or above 9mm. 'Nuff said ;)

But is the upgrade price subtle or magical?

I agree. I didn't mention that the B&W images from the 28 Biogon were really special. Lots of mirco contrast and lovely rendering as long as you don't point it directly at the sun.

I prefer uBlock Origin, along with NoScript running on Firefox.

Yes. This is definitely part of it. The M9 does have specially shaped microlenses which compensate for diffraction at the edges of the sensor. I might just get a ZM to Fuji X adapter just to try ...

Yes, I believe it was the way the Sony sensor+microlenses worked. The lens is acceptably sharp in the center, but quickly showed smearing just slightly off center. Images also appeared too dark ...

I still have this lens. It performed quite well on my old M9, perhaps due to the special microlenses on that sensor. One issue was that it had bad flare and a weird sunstar on the M9. I tried this ...

Having strong opinions on something is fine, but why must you be so confrontational about it?

In my late teens, I had a great time with my dad's Canon 7 rangefinder camera and Canon 50mm f1.2 lens. I've had a soft spot for rangefinders ever since. And now I have the Fuji XPro 2 which I love.

Yep. Totally understand. FWIW, the owner should be advised that it isn't and optimum combo. The 80 isn't going to replace the 55-200, no matter how many TCs he stacks on it. ;-)

Just a thought. Adding the TC to the 80 might not be the best for IQ. The 80 has great IQ from the images I've seen. Try it without the TC if possible. Also make sure there are no smudges or ...

It really helps to read the article, even if details are sparse. Here, I'll help you out:

No surprise that the f2 wins on AF speed. For me, the IQ overall is better on the f1.4 so I'm not going to give that up for quieter/faster AF.

I definitely do not want a Fuji version of the Nikon D5 or Canon 1DX.
