  • Alpha A-mount System • Re: Future of A mount July 19, 2021
    I'd wager it's the same plan as most of the other makers, perhaps even more extreme in this example. Jack up prices (a lot), to try to make up low sales in terms of value/profit. The problem with that is is drives many potential buyers away, frankly who would be crazy enough to pony up […]

  • Alpha E-Mount system • Re: I am trying out the A6300 July 19, 2021
    One of the reasons I picked this up was to do reviews, this one just came in from TTArtisan, the 7.5mm fisheye F2.0 lens. Also has a screw in filter ND1000 at the back of the lens. Initial impressions surprisingly good even at F2 (subject to DOF being enough)As for the A6300, my thoughts are […]

    Looks like lens prices are going into the outer atmosphere, just like Richard Branson!One wonders how sustainable the photo industry is, I know many makers said they were concentrating on higher margin products. This goes far beyond anything I would imagine, high prices = ever decreasing market...it's as if they have no new ideas just […]

Never say ‘zoom with your feet’…

By David Kilpatrick, on April 16th, 2017

The focal length of your lens, whether your use a zoom or a range of fixed focal length lenses, decides the exact relationship of elements in the picture including one component . . . → Read More: Never say ‘zoom with your feet’…

Sony’s precision aspherics

By David Kilpatrick, on February 5th, 2016

In interviews about the new micron-accurate aspheric lens element moulding process used to increase the resolution of the latest Sony G Master lenses, a visual has appeared which shows the ‘onion ring’ effect that coarser mould machining causes in lens elements.

Working independently, I’ve been aware of this for years – and I have used . . . → Read More: Sony’s precision aspherics
