I am multiple system user currently Astro modified A7 III, A7R III, RIV, Z7 and Z9 user. I did play with both A9 II and A1 quite a few times before I decided to wait for the R3 and Z9 and I am so ...

I hav a Sigma 50 Art and adapted on both my Nikon and Sony and use it on 1Dx, still waiting for the rumored R1 so don't even own a R body yet, but I have played with varies different R bodies ...

Yes, lack of top LCD does bother me big time, I am multiple system users and my only camera without the top LCD is the Sony A7R IV, so while I love the feature and the sensor of the camera, the ...

I am a Z9 shooter and almost ordered the second one when I saw the E-mail this morning, but I decided to hold it and put my money toward the next Canon R1 instead, I shoot both brand and want to ...

Depends on your application, if Astro is high on the list, F4 lens is hardly " must" have, it's something I will avoid, for general landscape, it's a very nice option., if you are going after nice...

F4 lens is not mean to be for Astro, and fast lens is not going to be small, that's just the way it's. I use Sony 14GM, Sony 20 F1.8 for astro and last season I added the new Sigma 20 F1.4 and I...

I have a 105 F1.4 and tried the Z 85 1.8 S and decided it's not the lens for me so I am keeping the 105 and adapting it on my Z9,  because I like the Bokeh the 105 1.4 produces a lot more. I would ...

it's good to have option, but I personally will always go with the F1.2 version, especially with the 50 1.2GM out there, I have zero interest in this new 1.4, also patiently waiting for the 85 ...

In 2023 my choice would be 50 F1.2GM + Voigtlander 50 F2 APO, one for portrait one for everything else. had the 55 F1.8 way back, will never recommend a lens like that in 2023, even back then with ...

For my personal taste, if I have to do it all over again, I would still pick the 85GM and followed by the Sigma 105 F1.4 as my top portrait lens, in fact, if I don't already own the Nikon 105 F1.4 ...

Thanks for your good words, I have quite a few Voigtlander E-mount, 21 F1.4, 35 F2 APO, 50 F2 APO, 65 APO, 110 APO, previously had  their 10, 15, 35 F1.4 , 40 F1.2, but I have found better ...

I am a Voigtlander and Zeiss prime lens user when it comes to landscape, but when I am not sure exactly what I will shoot or don't care for the highest image quality due to weather and things like ...

For me it's not the size but more about the shape, and the distance they have between the grip and the lens mount, and the stupid lens release button, it's in the perfect location so you can ...

I am not a fan of 50mm but sure hope it offers better Bokeh than their current 50 F1.4 Art which I currently own but not my favorite lens when it comes to Bokeh. the 50GM sets the bar pretty high ...

Besides the T stop, I really don't like the Bokeh/effect generated by the STF, it feels like some over done Photoshop blur effect, the 85 1.8 is even worse in this area to my eyes but in different ...

I am a huge fan of Zeiss and currently own 6 of their DSLR Milvus/Distagon and adapting them on all my ML systems, , and I also own a few Loxia, but for the 35mm F2 specifically, I would say check ...

haha, hope is little sooner than that. LOL.

Talking about the 35mm, I still consider the Sigma 35 F1.2  being the benchmark for close distance, people and Bokeh, i really wish Nikon and Canon will produce an equally high quality equivalent ...

I use quite a few AIS on my A7R III and A7R IV regularly, mainly the AIS 105 F1.8, AIS 105 F2.5, AIS 50 1.2, AIS 28 F2.8, all work great. U also use them on my Z9, that's how much I love those, i ...

it's nice to have option so everyone can find a camera that fits their preference, in my own case, it's a either iPhone or Z9/R3 kind of camera. previously a D850 and D500 user but always wanted ...
