No, there wasn't.

Will you make a video? I'm thinking of tearing my A7II down to repair a dead hotshoe mount... I'm hoping it's a simple ribbon cable unseating issue.

Sounds like your bottom line fell prey to a settings issue borne of a lack of familiarity with the camera. Your friend probably just couldn't diagnose your particular problem. Unlikely it was a ...

There are fast FE lenses all the way down to 0.95, so I don't see how that means Fuji 'gains back about a half-stop in general'... ??

My MF Samyang 14/2.8 doesn't flare excessively and isn't 'very soft' in corners. I've used one for a year now.

And if Fuji is fudging more, as you say, I think that warrants the attention they get for it and yes, they should be singled-out, if they're the single worst offender. That's not to say we can't ...

I'd only add that if you don't shoot in APS-C mode (don't see why that'd be needed unless you only want to use crop lenses or need the buffer to clear faster), less reach is needed because you can ...

It's not a conspiracy, it's simple marketing. They have a 35mm coverage problem with XF lenses and don't want their market to go to Sony. APS-C is a format / tool that has pros and cons just like ...

I never heard that (Sony sensors) - source?

If liberal use of exaggeration, hyperbole and 'LOL' = great professional photography, you must be one of the greatest modern day photographers. You'd think nobody ever took sports photos with film ...

I've seen instances where Fuji company reps have said specifically that FF can achieve better image quality but that the lens size mitigates that advantage, according to their philosophy. However, ...

Maybe not their ad copy in so many words (although maybe, I haven't looked) but they definitely have people paid by them saying it. Sony has their shills as well, of course, but I'm thinking ...

Define Fuji's marketing strategy however you like, but ISO stands for International Standards Organization and Fuji's so-called 'ISO' equivalents have been shown to be significantly deviated from ...

Have you used it? Samples showing strong vignetting? Vignetting would likely be 1. most evident wide open, hardly what you'd shoot snow with and 2. not hard to correct at all unless really severe.

Without any examples or settings, there's no way to say your experience with the A7II was camera limitations or user error -- but those of us who have used both can tell you that going to the X-T1 ...

I hate feeding what feels a lot like a troll thread, but which legacy lenses are you talking about, exactly - that are fully equivalent yet smaller/lighter than FE?

Weird. The samples above clearly show a steady progression in edge clarity through f11 and nowhere near the dropoff shown at f22. 5.6 definitely isn't better than 11. If the test was done on a ...

I got the 50/0.95 and it was just too much. Also not the best 50mm I've ever used and at 1.2 or larger aperture it was very difficult to get manually focused in the dark. It was also pretty big ...

I'm certainly no expert myself, and it's taken years for me to figure out basic exposure aspects for a given situation. It's just trial and error - best thing in the world is to ask the questions ...

Image stabilization only corrects movement of the camera itself, not the subject(s). 1/500 should've been more than enough for that scene. The issue here is exposure, not ISO. Have a read here . ...
