I don't have the Panasonic 25mm f1.7, but my gallery contains headshots comparing the PL 25mm f1.4 and the Sigma 60mm F2.8 Art.

I didnt call but took the foot and instructions I found on DPrebiew to a machinist. He looked at it and said give him a week so he could fit it in. It cost $20. He did not drill it and install a ...

Sort of shows that it's the carpenter and not the tools that determines the outcome of a project.

So is there an adapter for Z mount lenses to F mount bodies available, or planned?

It's sort of like software . . . I know what I use, and can learn what I think I want to use, but that might only touch about 10 per cent of the capability . . . by the time I think I want to use ...

I had never used Live View until last evening. I was at a Town Hall meeting in a university gymnasium and had a D750 and 24-120mm f4. I was sitting in a back row on the floor and planned on ...

I would try something outside your 24-120 range . . . the two other lenses that you have are within this range and the 35 is also within this range, although the primes are faster. Try specifically ...

Your title is twofold - macro and walk around. My suggestion is the 28-105mm f3.5-4.5D. You can find it used at a reasonable price, it will do 1:2 macro and is fine for a walk around lens. If you ...

You need a longer lens . . . I'm not sure I would be that close to the cubs when mama bear was that close! Nice images.

Wonderful birds to watch. They have been hanging around the golf course here in southern Saskatchewan for the last few days, so I suspect that you are correct re: the migration. Here are a few ...

Having shot hockey with Nikon equipment, I found the 80-200 f2.8D on a DX body to be fine . . . the D500 and other newer bodies will deal with low light way better than my old D100 (when it was ...

The photo of the two bodies is telling . . . the reason that I might be interested in a mirrorless camera is to lighten my load for travel. I also compared the dimensions, weight and ...

Sample available light portrait with Sigma 60mm Art on Panasonic GX7 I have it and like it a lot. I did a comparison with the PL 25mm f1.4 which is also available in my gallery. It is tough to beat ...
