"I prefer traveling with f/4 zooms. I still get great quality, but with lighter weight than f/2.8 zooms."

Yep. Except for this one.

So you expect more from DPR commenters than you do from your elected officials. Interesting.

DPReview is an international site. Expect international perspectives. The sooner you accept that, the happier you'll be.

Phil, maybe you got lost. This isn't Reddit.

"And the benefit of f/4 is that you typically get a lighter, more portable, less expensive lens."

Yep. How does that apply here though?

Why would a non-pro want a lens that is slower, double the price, heavier, bigger, and needs larger and more expensive filters?

I think Chris might have been annoyed by the weather, and the build of this lens. You have to "Serenity now" past the build (and the ugly font) to just let the images do the talking with this lens....

So go waste the people's time in posts for whatever brand those are and leave us alone. Thanks.

"LOL! You do not own that lens either."

Yes, I'm afraid that I do. Purchased from Georges in Sydney. What is wrong with you? Do better.

"Same for the clueless trolls."

Self-awareness is great, well done. I don't think you are clueless though, just pointless. Spam commenting posts about a lens you don't own, and for a system you...

This comment section is proof that black holes exist.

"if you cannot understand basic explanation about technology"

You are rambling about stuff you don't understand, that won't happen, and that doesn't matter. Go and not take photos of landscapes....

Bought one. Going to take some photos with it. I know that's passé and off-topic for a photography site in 2018, but hey, I'm a dinosaur.

Welcome to 2018, where someone saying "Hey, show us some of your photos" on a photography site is labelled an "ad hominem tactic". F**k me. Do you even take photos?

PhozoKozmos, please show us some of your amazing photography that was only made possible by having an OVF.

"attack the messenger"

Messengers have messages. You do not.

Except it's not with the IBIS. Your biases are showing.

Give me a 4x4 or 5x5 and I'd be right on it.

"I can't believe that you are so stupid as to think you have the same chance of avoiding a surprise strong wind with an 8 second exposure as with a 1 second exposure."

This has nothing to do with...

At least you stand by your words. You didn't sharpen any of the photos in your gallery.
