    1st to comment here :giggle:: phew 😅my EF 600mm f/4.0 III could be serviced until 2032, good news for a lens I use in rugged...

    "All the designs have a 40mm image circle, which means there would be about 3.3mm of “stretching” to cover a full-frame image sensor...

    So a 20mm (2cm) difference in length would be a dealbreaker for you?
  • neuroanatomist
    Oh, I didn't think it was that bad... Maybe I was just used to it, since before that I had an Olympus C-960Z (1.3 MP sensor, 35-105mm...

    the pictures it took look great.
  • neuroanatomist
    Nope, that’s not how it works. The forced distortion correction is ‘stretching’ to fill the corners, not cropping from a wider FoV...

    You have the RF 35 f1.4L, what do you mean?
  • M
    The small size of the existing RF 35 macro is - in my opinion - one selling point besides the IS, macro and large aperture. Removing...
  • janhalasa
    If the image circle needs stretching, the lens probably needs to be wider than marketed, so the 31.43mm version with the length of 8cm...
  • Planterz
    It's because in real life we're not photographing test charts in controlled environments and viewing things at 200% on huge monitors...
  • Exploreshootshare
    Nice :) I’d sell my current copy for one with faster AF and maybe some kind of weather sealing.

    100mm long. I had hoped for a small 35mm lens for street photography. A pancake lens, for example. It is nice when the camera and lens...

    I haven't changed my previous practice. I use back button focus with AF-ON for full screen with full tracking, and * for centre point...

    I did the same. And the Pre-Shooting works also as DOF button if you halfpress the shutter button. 😉 Attention: if the Pre-Shooting is...

    ...I chose the Depth of Field preview button. Works well.

    actually not much difference between the LCD and the view finder (maybe 4x linear). maybe the thing we dont need is the LCD...
  • neuroanatomist
    That little Oly had one. Given the small size and weight, personally I don’t find it problematic to use a rear LCD with a longer...
