there's resale on bh. i got 5 of them, just for sure..

yep, that's my observations too, olymore.
howaboutraw, i'm not saying canon uses sony chips, it's just seems that today is hard to tell who is really using what, sony manufacturing goes within...

ok, thanks for info.
but still would be nice to see actual production line and all that some time, you can stamp on chips whatever you want..

i don't know, to me it looks like sony bacome planet no1 manufacturer, just that every other company hacked their chips to their likings (as nikon etc).
but for ex. olympus i have hard time ti...

I agree with rishi, all lenses have tendency to have ff/bf problem on slr/dslr bodies, not just off-brands ones, so it's really no patent issue ( brand ones are probably tested and designed better,...

so, more or less sony kingdom..

olympus use sony 4/3 sensors? that i fird hard to believe, colours etc do tell story..
also i 'm bit sceptical about samsung and panasonic using their own production sensors (maybe panasonic)

olympus use sony 4/3 sensors? that i find hard to believe, colours etc do tell story..
also i 'm bit sceptical about samsung and panasonic using their own production sensors (maybe panasonic)

can someone tells me, which sensors use fuji, samsung, olympus etc in theirs mirrorless models?
i'm guessing fuji (same pentax in thier new dlsr line) is sony/toshiba "bitch", while for oly i would...

yes, we won't need this kind of stuff IF! companies do their thing with inspection on body/lense production lines..
as we all, coming from dslr world knows, this is not a case, so..

i do belive you, but when you get some nice sample (and this is not 50-50 scenario, i would say something like 25% chance or even less for real good one), sigma is not shabby at all. I do own for...

i think main question will be, how does this lense compare to let say sigma 12-24, i guess (which can be pretty good to excellent, when you get good sample).
would be nice to see some test done ...

actually, making right glass, choosing correct components etc is vital for good lenses and far from simple task, and lens design is probably just a tad copied from zeiss line, i would say..

so, sigma's secret is.. hoya (zeiss manufacturer). that's shocking.

it will go well with all that sony ff cameras..

looks straight enough for me.. nice alternative for sure.

problem with wide35mm rangefinder lenses (leica, contax whatever) is, that they having problems with aberrations etc on edges due to the shorter flange distance, so (d)slr wides works better in...

what i want right now is 6d with sony 20 mpix ff sensor. will do for me just fine..

true, but it can be frustrating fact (well, fact is more scientific debate talk) that most lenses can't deliver something over 20 mpix optical resolution on leica format.
but then again, they...

"Low ISO 35mm film is 50 megapixel or more" ..

hmm, that can be a long debate. personaly, i don't buy it (i do have some experience with scanning film, leica and mf fromat). yes, you can scan in...
