The Fujis do pretty well at higher ISO. If you set it to 800 or 1600 ISO you could probably get a fast enough shutter speed to do without stabilization in most circumstances.

Probably. I saw "archivist" and assumed it was the publisher, but perhaps not. It's a shame when good publications disappear. All that work gone from sight.

Looks like it was taken down.

With an adapter, you can put lenses like the Nikon 85mm tilt shift lens on. There are also tilt and shift adapters that let you mont a nikon lens and the mount itself can tilt or shift. A quick search on eBay or Amazon will turn up a few options.

Thank you for posting your macro review. Minox was a great choice of subject. Thanks for that, too.

Use with the Zeiss 60mm is not officially supported. If anyone tries using this lens, I would love to hear if it works.

Ferrydds: It would help to have a better idea of what your expectations are in a zoom lens. Is there a camera system you are comparing it to that gives you the size range you are looking for? Is the 18-55 too big for your taste, ferrydds? It is something like 330grams for a fairly fast and...

Just make sure they add a rotateable tripod collar to both :).

I agree that a 1.4x and even a 2.0x would be great additions. More functionality without a lot of extra weight. Extra reach for long glass and greater working distance for macro. And if they develop a teleconverter, they could sell a version without the lenses in it and I would have my...

As I found that I didn't need the DSLR for a given task, I would sell off what was associated with that task and get what I needed in smaller gear till I had eliminated all the SLR stuff. That might or might not work for you, depending on the tasks. If you have a professional camera store...
