Edit. I just checked with Wikipedia, The story there is that he went to have the radiator repaired. A son said "There's no way we sold our tires, because we didn't have any to sell. The only ones...

No one needed to misrepresent the facts to show that the world was in a financial crisis. Not everyone was starving and living in tents, including the migrant mother. Ms Thompson...

Dorothea Lange was no doubt a very talented photographer, as were all of the "depression photographers" in my opinion. The results they consistently obtained with the equipment at hand is...

@ ravi Do you have a link showing Sony with 42% share of the entire mirrorless market?

@Botifarro I could not agree any more. A couple of years ago I posted a link to an executive of Sony describing the future profit plans for Sony and cameras were not even mentioned. He mentioned...

Clairvoyance has nothing to do with it. Profit and loss statements plus declining market share plus very little "buzz" about their products have everything to do with it. I am saying this owning...

"Canon's lens engineers should go to Nikon"

Not if they want to have a job in 5 years.

Thanks for your input. I don't remember any corner softness in my copy but I have not used it in over 10 years. The memory can play tricks over time I suppose.

Thanks, that is about what I thought would be the case.

Thanks, I will try that forum. Edit: I just checked that forum and it is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was not even aware it existed...shame on me. Thanks for the information!

In terms of sharpness and contrast how would you say the 24 compares to your 22? I have heard that the 22 is an excellent lens. Thank you.

That is good to know. Thank you very much for the information.

Thank you for your response. I am glad to hear the old lenses are capable of very good results on a modern camera. I had not considered using the FD on a modern Canon EOS camera because I thought ...

I have several classic film lenses in Canon FD and Olympus OM mounts. The FD 24 2.8 and to a slightly lesser degree 100 2.8 were absolutely spectacular on Kodachrome back in the day. My question ...

I never said what I believed except the claim the EM5 MIII should sell for $900 was ridiculous. Where did I even mention any specifications? You want some REAL facts? According to the...

@mrallcaps I was replying to the first post in this thread "I see as only real downside the price of $1200. This is a $900 camera. And if it was released as such, would have got predominantly...

@platinumkid
I don't seem to be able to find any new certified weather proof camera with 6-6.5 stops IBIS and a flip out screen for $900. Where are those cameras?

Since there are NO full frame Sony cameras on that list and only the A6000 to represent Sony, it would seem Sony gets way too much "buzz".

Closing one of their repair centers while opening 2 new larger facilities hardly seems like "retreating from photography". Do you think another camera company has more or better service...

Given the decline in camera sales, all of them, except possibly Canon, will probably be out of the photo business in 10 years.
