Echo everything said here. In some ways it reminds me of the lens on the Leica X113, which forces a stop down when you got close to things to hide the lens' softness.

No that's 'normal' performance for that lens. In my copy I experienced results like that at most apertures until you are at least 3 meters away. Stopping down does help but it was still not nearly ...

That's quite well illustrated that then; thanks very much. I'm not so worried anymore.

I was just reading the thread on the E-M5 III problems and I was wondering if it's 'safe' to use the Pen-F and 12-100 on a tripod or if that was dangerous for the mount.

While I am not a scientist of any sort it's reasonably obvious that m43 sensors are deficient, relatively speaking. It's true that M43 sensors advanced at pace with FF sensors and essentially hit ...

That would be a huge surprise. I can't imagine it will be any smaller than the 12-40 or 7-14. So yes, I consider those small, but some people don't seem to.

From community polls and such it is either the 23mm f1.4 m2 or the 35 m2 that are wanted, and I would guess the 35 because that's very often complained about, more than the 23.

My experience with the 16-55 is that it is only slightly better than the 18-55. That made no sense to me and I very much wanted it not to be true, but the IQ was so disappointing that I sold it. -- ...

Well actually I think the Sony A6xxx is the best selling series of aps-c camera ever, correct me if I'm wrong. And the Nikon DX and Canon Aps-c cameras have sold very very large volumes ...

Wondering if it's a compression algorithm here or just heavy crop because that looks terrible as well. Just like a photo out of an Iphone 6. I've seen great landscape photos out of the T3 camera ...

Colour in the exterior photo are very odd, like bad HDR, not sure what's up with that. The resolution appears also to be pretty low, but it's of course a crop so that might be part of it. Maybe it ...

It will likely have very little impact on the lens performance but a scratch like that would niggle me.

I don't understand what happened to this photo. Light Leak? But I like the photo overall even with that.

Sadly there is only one version. People have been asking for one with decent focus design for years but it's crickets from Fujifilm. Older models and new ones are exactly the same. At least it's ...

Sadly discontinued in 2007. Absolutely gorgeous camera. It still commands huge price tags used now, even with the antique sensor.

Also good to note that the X-Pro line are not actually rangefinders, which means a specific mode of optical manual focus. As far as I know the only currently produced digital rangefinders are ...

Best time to buy (used) will probably be in the days and weeks after the announcement when everyone, including those that don't read rumour pages, knows that the X-H2 (TIV) is out.

That's a fact. I love Leica, but nothing they make provides value for money in any sense. Their lenses sell for 4-5 times what the specs warrant objectively.

It is fairly well known that the X-T4 is coming out soon, hence the price fall. The same thing happened to the Sony A7RIII when the IV was coming. Used prices have fallen several hundred dollars ...

Well the Sony and the Olympus are both 3 years older than the X-T20, and used prices usually reflect age and retail new price. The X-T20 new is still 150-200 usd more than all the cameras you ...
