Sorry, I disagree Richard. All that's it has served to do is stir up the hornet's nest of the equivalency debate yet again on DPR. It would be nice to read through the comments section without the...

@darngood Hence my use of the word "relatively." Comparing the Df to the FM is as silly as comparing the GA645Zi to the FM. The Df has to include a sensor, electronics, large battery and LCD in...

It could still be relatively small. Fuji's GA645Zi was positioned as a medium format travel camera. While not small in the absolute sense, it was easier to pack than any other 6x4.5 camera. The...

Reading any DPR article that discusses equivalency and the shouting match that it's sure to bring about gives me the equivalent heart burn of a chili cheese dog and an order of buffalo wings.

Looks like a neat little kit, but I wish they offered some manner of case solution. That little corner clip thing doesn't look like it will play well with my Otterbox Commuter and I'm not going to...

Will "Life" be available to view online? It would be interesting to see the short made with this interesting camera and technology.

@LensBeginner - Just because it's a simple lens doesn't mean that it's not expensive to get the tooling set up to build it. Honestly, $400 really doesn't seem all that crazy to me. I will say that...

@LensBeginner Why is this bugging you so much? If it's not your thing, that's completely understandable. I'm not buying one either! I may rent one if LensRentals picks them up like they did with...

LensRentals carried the Petzval when it came out. Not sure if they'll carry this one, too, but it might be worth watching their page.

Having a bad morning there, c45?

It's only overpriced if people aren't buying it. Given the responses to the Kickstarter campaign, I'd say it's probably not overpriced. I can't think of another company making new achromat doublets...

I don't think the goal of those buying this lens will be served by the Helios 44. Bokeh is highly subjective, and something tells me that no one will be buying a simple doublet to obtain "sharp...

Everytime there's a post about alternative gear, the comment section fills up with people bemoaning those that are interested in the new gear. Why? Are you all that insecure about your gear...

The inclusion of 4K video is a bit curious. I don't see a huge user base for this. Those shooting video that could afford this would probably be looking at something like a RED. I guess every...

Given the niche that Sigma's fixed lens cameras have carved out, I really don't think they need specs beyond this. The DP cameras kind of have a cult following for landscape shooters and such. I've...

There are times when I read DPR that I think the "lens equivalency" discussion causes more chaos and controversy than a Republican Party debate...

My guess is that none of these will actually ever be used to take a picture, so the cartoon panda shouldn't be able to cause too much grief for owners of these cameras.

Film. The legend has returned. Or something like that.

"Give a million monkeys a million cameras, and some good images will be generated."

Guess that pretty well describes much of the pixel peeping population of DPR.

It never ceases to amaze me how many grumps hang around DPR. Personally, I think it's an amazing project and that the kid has some very engaging portraits. I'm proud to be one of the backers of the...
