    There you go again. Trying to deny that there is sample variation between different copies of the same lens model. There's nothing...

    Indeed, they made the de regieur standard, ultrawide, telezoom and superzoom lenses with slow/variable apertures (along with some...

    Some miscellaneous thoughts - for me, and I recognize that I'm not everyone, an R7 II would be desirable if it had the same or increased...

    "Regardless, the Fujifilm will certainly be the better-looking camera" in your opinion 😉 but personally I think all Fuji cameras are...

    While I do not have any direct help to offer you, this sort of thing is why I sold off all my Godox after going mirrorless with the R5...

    Not $500 like the RF 45mm???:p

    I can't wait for the "dynamic range wars", it will not be for the R7 vs fujifilm but please bring it on :D
  • Quantum Mechanic
    Thanks for your explanation. So the potential 'L' designation is simply your take and likely not a part of the patent itself. I did not...

    No, we're being presented with products and are able to buy them or not, based on a whole raft of factors. You can do it, but you can't...

    It will come! :)

    I showed that tiny crop which is at the pixel peeping level to show what could be squeezed out of the R7. Here is the uncropped image...

    I know a lot of scientists. Most will report findings that disagree with their predictions. Some will not report them (in part, that's...

    I will get duly excited I promise.... when there will be a solid rumor with an announcement date 🤘
  • neuroanatomist
    For the lens in question with a 19.96 mm image height, we are discussing ~1.5% of the resulting image, and that ~1.5% is in the extreme...

    Thanks, Alan – that is the correct explanation! The light of an image circle falling on a sensor would still be quantized into discrete...

    You're more relaxed than me! I had to change my underwear yesterday when I saw about the 14mm and now today. Sometimes I envy those...

    After I saw the note, I looked as well. This is the only spot I found suggesting it - https://youtu.be/FXWhtUFT9GM?si=x7_bZ4gK9wCtpXKi

    Then buy the RF 35/1.4L VCM.

    I'd rather have a f/1.4 lens that is smaller, lighter and cheaper.

    The benefit of BSI decreases with increasing pixel size. Below 2 µm it’s evident, above about 4 µm it’s minimal to none. The driver...

    What about pneumatically or hydraulically in- and -deflatable lenses? I'm sure he has already developed them in his secret laboratory...

    What they need is something like SA on the RF macro, but it changes how the image is corrected while increasing or decreasing the mass...
