Priorities.
You could buy three Monochrome bodies for the price of that 200HP outboard motor on your neighbor's bass boat.

I do not know why Luego is getting these snarky "answers." "It's ff, has more pixels, has a Leica lens." no kidding...Great camera review. OK, "not many" X100 owners" also own the Q.  So what? He's ...

The nice thing about well made tripods is the "investment" is spread over many, many years. Unless you lose it, you won't have to replace it....
Tripod technology is pretty mature....unlike...

D800e close enough? If so, 50mm Sigma ART and Nikon 85mm 1.8 G.

"85mm 1.8" Wait just a minute there Benji... I have been assured on this very website that only the 1.4 G is worthy of serious 85mm work. Have you analysed the bokeh? Researched the micro contrast? ...

$5,950? Daed, for $1,700 less Leica will sell you a Summilux 28 and throw in a "Q" body. Albeit a 1.7, not 1.4 If this camera/lens combo lives up to its so far promising promise it might be the ...

"The average person probably can't tell the difference between a D7100 with fast glass and a Leica."

Thus, a dedicated, passionate photographer should look to this "average person's" perception as...

Now, digital: Nikon D800e Then, film: Mamiya 7II 6x7

Jay, I bought Version 1 in 2006 for my D200 and later used it on a D700. The lens is beautifully made and smooth to operate. Made more $ with that lens than any other in my bag. However---- Recentl ...

Dear ocn, I like to take pictures, play with my grandchildren, watch movies, sail my boat, shoot skeet and engage in many, many activities other than lens testing, fretting, comparing. Here's a ...

Good stuff, YRUNVS! (may I call you Y?) Your two pics of the female performers show that you can't be shy with a 28mm. the more you "get in there" the better the pic...You did...and it is! Canyongazer

Plus One here for this lens...very good performer, excellent value for the money. Must admit though, 28mm is my favorite wide angle FL. My Holy Trinity is 28/50/85 Rather like the classic ...

For my D800e I have seven....so, my answer is "seven." A long time ago I realized that standing in my living room imagining, speculating, trying to predict what circumstances/needs lie ahead is ...

Yulia has that uniformly stunned expression of most fashion models. ;-) As Dorothy Parker might say: "She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B." :-)

Looks like the horse in pic #1 had just been informed what duties are expected to be performed by a stud farm's stallion.
Joie de Vivre, indeed.

In before the usual "These photos are no good."
Oops, too late.

I do look forward to the far better pictures from the keyboard heroes who find these below their standards. Hope they don't get shot...

Beautiful wood on your 20 ga. O/U, particularly in the field (although I can't believe it's a field grade gun!)

Birddogman, your pictures and text are illustrative of Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset when he wrote: "We don't hunt in order to kill. We kill in order to have hunted."

"...my wife has been instructed to bludgeon me."
I'm guessing she has a list of her own.
