I’ve been contemplating one of the Nikon 18-300 options (or the cheaper Sigma version) with the new Fringer smart adapter.  I understand that a 16x zoom is intended for versatility when you don’t ...

I ordered from an eBay seller ten days ago... and it has yet to ship.  Although the listing said they had some in stock, my responses from them clearly show that they do not actually have any yet. ...

Ah, my apologies  :-).  I remember discussion of a Risespray branded 35mm 0.95, and discussion about whether it was identical.  I didnt realize this 7Artisans was out there.  More reading to do!

I tried your link to that review... and tried accessing it previously from a google search... but always get a "Forbidden... you dont have permission to access" error message.  Is it a geographic ...

Cool... hope this copy is good for you! I'm curious about that Zonlai.... according to the spec sheet... its minumim focus distance is 10mm.  That would be pretty damn close, lol.  I'm curious what ...

I would not go so far as to say the Mitakon f/0.95 and the 7Artisans f/1.2 are identical other than filter size!  The Mitakon is a faster lens.  So if low light performance is important, it has an ...

Ordered!  From an ebay seller (with very high review count).  BH does not sell it, none available on Amazon.  And the ebay options all quote like a month or two shipping estimate.  Not a lot of ...

weak grain (by accident, forgot to reset).  slight sharpening in pixelmator.

Great pictures, gives a great impression of the lens. For those that are curious abut the weight differences between some of the options discussed in this thread: Kamlan 21mm: 264 grams Samyang ...

I have a peak design strap, and got a scratch promptly after on my T3.  Had it in a bag with the camera.  No proof, but it was when the camera was newer and i was being ultra careful.

I forget... is the 35 1.4 a Lens that often goes on sale new?  It’s $599 at BH... I can’t recall if it is one of the ones that gets sale pricing

Tom, Have you used either the Kaman 28 or 21?  Interesting focal lengths. I would probably be wise to keep the 90mm... once my girls get bigger and start playing sports or athletics would be a ...

I havent had a Rokinon on my X-T3.  I had a Rokinon 85 on my Sony A72 back when i had that... and it was one of my favorite lenses.  Granted...i didnt have any premium Sony lenses. Now you've got ...

My main issue with buying the 23 is that for what it costs, i feel like i shoud just buy a used x100s or x100t... almost the same price as the 2.0, and cheaper than the 1.4... and i could carry it ...

So your issue with the 23 was the AF motor and noise.. and not image quality or focal length? i agree that the Pro3 with Durablack is sweet (amd expensive).  Fortunatly i have no complaints on the ...

Hey Tom... Yes, i have the SMC Takumar (six element version) that i use from time to time. I need to devote more time to using it, as its pretty cool. I get nice shots with it, if i make sure to ...

Ive been using the X-T3 for a year now, and have tried out a number of lenses.  Of the Fuji brand lenses, i tried: 27mm Pancake (i)     Didnt care for it and promptly sold it.  In particular, i ...

Im half tempted to get this and the Sigma 18-250.  Can get the lens used for about $135.  Affordable enough to try out.  But i am confident the moment i bought them, Sigma would announce them for ...

This would be awesome  :-)

To be honest, your post frustrates me more than theirs.  The OP did no-one a good service in his initial post by making very definitive negative statements, without even stating what issues he was ...
