    Got the lens today, huuuuuge improvement over the 8-15. First, the weight feels like half of the old 8-15, it’s light! Unlike the 8-15...

    I wish that lens manufacturers, including Canon, would share this information readily and freely. You'd think it would be a competitive...

    For the their respective full frame mirrorless mounts with focal lengths in the telephoto/supertelephoto range: Canon – 12 zooms, 12...

    There is one advantage to files shot with barrel-distorted lenses I'd like to mention here, and it is this: there is more leeway for...
  • fox40phil
    It’s CP+… Canon lags way behind the others in terms of tele lenses… and they only show this concept?!?! Are they serious?! Even not the...
  • roby17269
    have they for real? Who's going to pay to use DPP? 🤮 those add-ons must be really enticing....
  • neuroanatomist
    Value is a personal choice. What 'many categories' are you talking about? From your comments, it's apparent that you believe Nikon's...
    • Because yeah, this lens doesn't need any digital correction.png
  • AlanF
    It would not surprise me if they were encrypted. Canon have now introduced a subscription model for using their higher level add-ons to...
  • Etnaphele
    If you cannot see how Nikon is currently offering more value in many categories than Canon, I won't insist. And indeed, value is not...
  • Sporgon
    They were little jewels in those days. I think the ME/MX, OM-1/2 and FM/FE were the pinnacle of ‘consumer’ grade manual focus slrs. I...
  • neuroanatomist
    Well, the lens catalogs are not an exact match nor is there a reason they should be. From what I can tell, Nikon only has two f/1.4...
  • chrysoberyl
    You make a strong case. And thanks for the filter tip, very much!
  • Etnaphele
    I was thinking of the pricing of Z8-Z9, Z6 III, the F1.4 primes and the PF telephoto primes + access to some interesting 3rd party like...

    Including some Tamron lenses rebadged as "Nikon" :sneaky:
  • neuroanatomist
    In the past 5 years, Nikon has launched 33 new lenses and Canon has launched 36. Nikon's newest lens is a 70-200/2.8 that was...

    A less dominating company will usually try to be more competitive to regain market position, to the gain of the consumers ;)
  • bluezurich
    Wait, you are salivating at the premise of Canon's doom? Ok....
  • neuroanatomist
    Yes, that was clear. But…do we know those data aren’t readable by other developers? Have DxO, Adobe, etc., come out and stated that they...
  • Etnaphele
    Yes, totally in their right! That's also the mechanism I hope will bring many to abandon Canon, so that... ...they are forced to offer...
  • AlanF
    I think he is implying that the correction data should be readable by other RAW converters like DxO, PS etc without their having to...
  • neuroanatomist
    Well, they make the camera so they get to choose. You get to decide whether or not you buy their products. Nikon lost a ton of market...
  • neuroanatomist
    One could argue that they do just that, since with RF lenses the correction data for DLO are stored in the lens itself and transmitted...
  • Etnaphele
    The whole point is that Canon is the one calling the compromises, barring out any other option (big heavy Sigma 14mm 1.4 vs tiny Sony...

    Well worth lenses.
