Well, you need to hammer the S and R a bit less humble... like SR which also could mean Sony Rival RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - Rover - 09-04-2019 Funny that Tamron used to have the longest lens names, but Nikon is seemingly determined to catch up. RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - JJ_SO - 09-04-2019 There's enough time to learn them for the sales guys... RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - borisbg - 09-04-2019 Initially I thought the lens is plastic-fantastic, but DPR shows metal casing (magnesium alloy). RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - JJ_SO - 09-05-2019 Aaah, now we are talking: https://nikonrumors.com/2019/09/05/new-2020-2012-nikon-nikkor-z-s-line-lens-roadmap-leaked.aspx/ With some grains of salt, as it is rumors from an anonymous source (and might be wishful thinking...) 2020: Nikkor Z 13mm f/1.8 S Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.2 S Nikkor Z 28-70mm f/2.8-3.5 S Nikkor Z 24-120 f/4 S 2021: Nikkor Z 105mm f/1.8 S Nikkor Z 28mm f/1.8 S Nikkor Z 65mm f/1.8 S (macro or what?) Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S Nikkor Z 28-280mm f/2.8-5.6 S Nikkor Z 100-300mm f/4 S Some interesting stuff - now it only has to become reality... RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - Rover - 09-05-2019 That really does sound like wishful thinking, though not as wild as the stuff we often see in the comments sections... RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - JJ_SO - 09-05-2019 You mean the "give us cheap pancakes" people? Or the "gives us non-S lenses, a bit less high IQ" group? Going small = getting APS-C or µ 4/3, going cheap = take a smartphone instead. What's the point in going FF mirrorless, getting a pricey body to mount some lensbabies in front? FF will never be a compact system (except that Sigma movie brick looking like a lego). Anyway, there are some really sweet things on that list. Pretty much too good to become true, knowing Nikon... RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - thxbb12 - 09-05-2019 Yes, FF could be a compact system if a manufacturer wanted it to be. With equivalent lenses a FF system could be made about the same size as an APS-C system. Here are a few examples comparing Fuji X vs Sony FE:
I'm personally more and more interested in Sony FE because it's attracting a lot of 3rd party makers willing to fill this gap. Sony was smart in opening up their mount protocol to others. I believe it is a big mistake on Nikon, Canon and Fuji's part to not open theirs up. RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - JJ_SO - 09-06-2019 What's the point in making FF as compact as APS-C (most of the time) already is? I know you're much more knowledgeable in terms of the equvalencing game than I ever will care to be, but crop calculators aside, what IS the point in
Smaller than a Z 7 and even an X-H1, but never as small as a µ 4/3 with a pancake. So why trying to squeeze compactness into something which was not made for being small? Else than that, he bought 4 lenses. None of them Sony or Zeiss, but all very nice: A Laowa 100 mm 2:1 prime, an Apo-Lanthar 65 mm from Voigtländer and the two new Tamron zooms 17-28-75. Yes it's nice that Sony opened their mount - but they had to, while Nikon and Canon have a ton of legacy glass and their adapters. The Laowa and Voigtländer being manual focus, the Laowa as usual without EXIF Data and spring diaphragm. Would be a pain to use on a DLSR... Side note: Apparently the sensors of the α7R IV, GFX100 and X-T3 are children of the same wafer as their pixel width is identical. RE: More Nikon stuff not many care about - Brightcolours - 09-06-2019 You don't cut different size sensors from a wafer with just sensels, that is not the way it works. I suspect that you know that and were just on purpuse not very fastidious with your formulation (but can't be sure). |
