Interesting comparison. Did you test the SEL1018 on FF mode 13-16mm like the other folks suggested? I am on A6000 with this lens and looking to go A7R2 in the future. Thanks!

Actually I just took a full moon shot couple days ago, moon was very bright ... my filter was B+W F-PRO, and I saw slightly ghost until I removed it (mind you I have a same size filter Hoya Pro1 ...

Agreed.
I have EPM and still sit in my bag since I bought it long time ago ... No grip and clip-on flash is a major turn off. Sony or Panasonic is the way to go unless Oly fixes it ... maybe they...

Perfect travel lens, makes Sony a shame with A6000/6300.
I might buy it and GX8.

In theory any glass in front a decent lens will degrade the IQ. But there are risks of dust, scratches and physical impact. I dropped my camera with a sigma lens when I was in the US mountains ...

You are more than welcome. Indeed it is a good topic. By the way, since I am crazy on wide angle when I go landscaping, I also own SEL1018 (small but not very fitful for a "travel" lens). Hope one ...

Right on time and money - no pun intended. I just got the FZ1000 from a friend for a week. The range, AF, capability, speed, convenience and integrity ... I know them all but this has to be the top ...

Where do we begin ... ? There is the $1000 16-70F4 Zeiss but it has its own issues beside price tag, mostly it is sharp at F5.6 and above, and it is not small. For 16-50, the pancake is an OK lens, ...

Sadly I noticed that too and NEX-7 is bit more easier to post process, the A6000 files feels "stiff" if I can not describe exactly. As for wide angle, I only got the 10-18mm after I sold NEX-7 so I ...

Ben, I can not agree more on this. Oly needs some boost ... It's been a while since I started with E300 and C5060. I used to check in this group daily but mostly I was more as a listener rather a ...

The control and viewfinder is better on NEX-7. A6000 is better on AF and low light noise. That's all. I sold NEX-7 went to A6000. You may do the jump from NEX-7 to A6300 when it is released and ...

No grip for hand so everyone buys addon otherwise slippery like snake. No 4K when FZ/ZS compact camera all have 4K ... ?

The GF line is so dead ... and I bought 2 before all sold.

For $150 or less get any manual lens F1.4 (ie, MD50/F1.4) plus a cheapo adaptor, learn to record with MF and/or pre-focus if peak focus not perfect. You save the $ for anything else to buy. $500 is ...

I thought 16-50F2.8 has AF motor builtin then it should work with LA-EA1/3 as well?

To EthanP99:
Not only that, lenses with multiple groups and elements they optimized on the moving ones for focus, while this method will move every element same time this results different optical...

I guess it might require you to try infinity or closest or in between to get the best result, but in theory it shall work ok with many lenses but might not be optimal result which the lens...

Felt the same, might hold off A7R2 and get this ... still couple reasons for hesitations: 1. No touch screen (maybe to get 5300 lol) 2. Wifi with PlayMemories is a joke, I own several Sonys and ...

Way to go Sony! If only the WiFi function is just as good as on my Panasonic ...

Good point this article elaborated. The camera maker would never make the perfect camera neither they can.
Camera is a tool to fulfill your imaginations, learn to leverage the advantages but avoid...

Just checked my F1.7 and F2.0 actually F1.7 has bigger glass ... at least from front element. So the F2 lenses are different design/build. I don't think F1.7 is useful if you have others, it is ...
