I'm still holding out for the Fuji X40, with a 1" Sony sensor and sharp f/2-4 24-85mm manual zoom lens.

I say this mostly in jest, because I doubt I could tell the difference in images between my X30 and the mythical X40. Besides, I finally realized just how easy it is to wirelessly transfer images from my 2014 X30 to my 2022 Galaxy tablet.

I tried the X-T5 and will again. REALLY like the 2 way tilting LCD. I do a lot of off-angle shooting, so that's great. Didn't like the grip when holding it up to my eye.

I currently use an X-S10 and have become comfortable with the FA screen. I'll be honest that I want the sensor and the better AF of the XT5. I haven't quite ruled out the XH2 since used ones are now the same price as the new XT5, but the big advantages over the XT5 are mostly video, which I rarely do. I'm sure 4K 30p from the XT5 wouldn’t be the main reason I don’t get the Oscar for cinematography.

You aren't the only one that would like an X40 + 1" sensor with the manual zoom lens.

Not because it were sensible in any way (it isn't), but I feel a certain fascination for the Z 8; as long as I keep the Z 6, it could replace my Z 7 II ... I'd add all the benefits of the Z 9 without the whole of the bulk; it'd also differenciate between my everyday and top-of-the-line bodies better ... But of course, it's utter overkill, especially considering the merits of the Z 7 II - in many respects, they also exceed my needs. So, this'll probably never happen - in fact, if anything, it makes the GFX-100S worthy of consideration again. And thinking about that camera always leads me to the same conclusion: In the light of what the Z 7 II can do, it's just not necessary to go any further.

I understand. It looks like an amazing camera that would be oh so satisfying to shoot with.

Cosina's New Voigtlander Ultron 27mm f/2 is Made Exclusively for Fujifilm X

A "highly portable" new prime lens.

I'm no longer rocking that system, but this looks like a dream come true: A fastish pancake with focus assist ... Just what the doctor ordered.

Here's to hoping they'll issue it for other mounts as well over time ... (Z mount, please!).

Pretty sure to succumb to the temptation of getting the wide converter for my Fuji X100V. I love 28mm, although I don't look forward to the extra 150g and protruded front the converter wil add.

I've just read this review of the Leica Q3. I've had to wipe the drool off this tablet before I could post this. Oh, if only I had a spare £5300 (plus case, etc, etc...). Maybe the Euromillions will be my friend tonight.

'News about your lottery ticket!' said the email...so I quickly logged on, and yes, I am £2.90 better off. Only £5297.10 to go!

Apologies Martin. The lottery people haven't fully grasped the concept of overhead. You won 40p. You have another £5299.60 to find.

You've ruined my dreams - and I was so close!

They just knocked $200 off the A7c at Adorama. I wonder if it’s because one of the two promised new Sony bodies is a replacement. I was looking at this body at one point.

 

[L0n3Gr3yW0lf]

I was scouring the evilBay, just out of curiosity, for a replacement for my departed Jimmy Bo 500 camera bag and I received 2 offers, and I want to ask you peeps which one should I go for:

The colour is the same as my old one but it's smaller, it will fit my Tamy 28-75mm f 2.8 G2 with my Sony A7 IV but nothing else.

This one is bigger and I might (not 100% sure) be able to fit both my Tamy f 2.8 zooms in ... but red is not exactly my colour and is very noticeable. But I mean for 19 £ it wouldn't be the worst bad purchase if I don't like it/use it.

Nikon's 24mm f/1.7 Brings Big Bokeh to APS-C Z-Mount

Fast, bright aperture for $280.

That. Very.

EDIT: There's a bogus sentence in PetaPixels description - the lens weighs 540g together with the Z 30, not on its own. 135g it is.

Wow, that's only a little bit heavier than the Fuji X100V. Hmm, makes me think.
