    My experiance with 3rd party lenses is that they are often very sharp, comparitively so. It's the rest of the hardware is often the...

    My copy of the EF 135mm f2.0 L is a bit battered. It's had a hard life and it's delivered consistently when other lenses would have...

    You’re giving way too much credit to the Sigma’s sharpness. Like I said to someone else, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art is sharp, but it’s...

    Had the 135 L for many years, it's a beautiful lens, and still sharp by today standard, at least on all 20mpx bodies I had (5D II and...

    I´m currently looking to purchase a used EF 135mm F2. I have been looking at this lens on the used market for nearly two years now and...

    I correct in "some people"; I didn't want to generalise, I have L lenses too, for example a classic 70-200 f2.8 non-IS since more then...

    Yeah, but June 11th, 2025 would have meant that we already have the camera and the lens in our hands :)
  • GMCPhotographics
    I buy L lenses because of many factors, one is durability. In a professional environment, gear takes more of a beating. I’ve had more...

    I use this format when labelling images and folders, so they list numerically in Windows. Otherwise, they array all over the place in a...

    Speaking of regional differences, that was an excellent opportunity to use “bless your heart.” It’s in my top 3 of English colloquialisms :)

    Minolta? They made the the first mass produced AF cameras as I recall (after Konica). Later it was Konica-Minolta and now just Sony...

    Either that, or some photographers understand that the best lens for one use case is not always the best lens for all use cases? Why...
  • Michael Clark
    Not everyone buys lenses to do flat document (i.e. test charts) reproduction. The idea that flat field correction is more important than...

    I guess I'm upside down. I tend to use year-month-day
  • Michael Clark
    That all depends upon what one means by "better". Flat field correction usually means less smooth bokeh, especially prior to the late...

    What it really means is there is the performance that can be wrung out of a lens if you really, really know your lens. Know where in the...

    It is the belief that optically corrected lenses are better than digitally corrected lenses.

    I have no idea who you're referring to. I have never participated here under any name other than the one I currently use, and as you...
  • Michael Clark
    Meh. The EF 50mm f/1.2 L was never intended to be a test chart reproduction lens. It was designed to be a portrait lens. It left some...
  • Michael Clark
    Ooooh. That's VERY different. Never mind.

    A guy I used to work for had one that all of the employees of his diesel repair shop (I worked for another of his businesses) used when...

    Lack of any possible battery grip is one reason why I would never buy an R7. My right shoulder and its limited range of motion is to the...
  • Michael Clark
    Unicorn, huh? Who else used to use the same word to describe a potential R7? Didn't he get banned about the same time you joined?
