Thanks for sharing your photos and experience. I would like to sell my VL 17.5 to purchase the Olympus if only for the AF. But I also believe the olympus has a much more consistent performace, with ...

Disagree. wider is where i want the larger aperture, quite simply because its needed. Of course if you are a landscape photographer this may not be important, but if you take lots of photos of ...

17 1.2 is not entirely abouts shallow DOF, though aperture size is important. Its also about the long gradual transition from focus to OOF (background) which gives a natural somewhat 3D look, . ...

I agree. The 45 1.8 should be very sharp at F2.8 so I doubt the 12-40 will improve on that by any significant margin. If you are going to crowded places I say the 17 or 25 1.2 would be much better ...

"A budding photographer, a couple of men shooting birds, one with a canon, the other with a sony asked this almost-7-year-old what brand his camera was ("is that a sony?") and he replied "Its a ...

and the other one.. is equivalence debating on online forums!

I have neither the 12mm or Laowa 7.5, but I do have the 7-14mm Pro and can tell you there is a vast difference between 7.5 ultrawide and 12mm (wide) 7.5 is not always practical - so it depends on ...

Cool thankyou that is very cost effective! I'd be interested to know your experience!

Congratulations, looks good. How much did that set you back? Now you need some flash modifiers!

Things always look good until something better comes along

Guess the subscription model is working, helping the rich get richer.

If any organisation says otherwise and you believe them you are a fool. Subscription model benefits only the corporations.

Hahaha it was only a matter of time any thread that mentions F1.2 lenses and just like clock work the DXO chart and Size comparison images come out Tell me do you have these images shortcut on your ...
