Your airport story was funny. It reminded me of a trip to Tokyo where I had to change planes to fly to Fukuoka.

I got on the bus, watched it depart the airport, and then drove around town before returning to the same place I got on. I then ran with all of my luggage in hand where I barely made my connecting flight on time.

Speaking of dim lenses, consider Canon's "RF600mm F11 IS STM". No, f11 is not a joke, it is really an f11 lens. This lens is for those who would like to imagine what life would be like if we all lived in caves and never emerged. Enjoy your 32000 ISO setting. The ten second exposures will force us to kill, stuff, and mount anything we want to film. But hey, a revival of the taxidermy profession.

@@flightographist true but I think it's only a matter of time before they get Americanized. I like the form of cameras but the tech lags badly. When I watch a Zoomer take a hi-res photo, process it and then post it to social media in less than 20 seconds I feel like a dinosaur. For the same results I'm carrying a camera thats too big for a pocket, then accessing and booting up my laptop (after I get home) and transferring the file from the sd card, processing in DxO photolab and then posting. All the while I'm carrying a phone anyway. The only advantages of using a camera now are dynamic range and optical zoom quality, but phones are catching up because that's where the money is

[@guyjordan8201]

I don’t often agree with you so strongly, but this time I do. Yes the camera industry, like others, changes just for the sake of change rather than shooting for target that they know want and love. It would be nice if users controled the show, but accountants do.

[@bensinger6655]

Those JBLs are dynamite

[@houserhythm]

I have no idea how long it takes to develop a lens, but it's also not advantageous for them to release everything at once and then nothing for 2-3 years. If *insert camera brand* releases 6 lenses at the same time, people talk about them once, specialty press publishes one article, reviewers do one video etc. then they are "forgotten" until the next release. If they release one lens now, another in 6 months and so on, they are in the news cycle much more often; that's free advertising and it drives sales.

I remember when I jumped from the 5D mk3 to the Sony AzSii many years ago. The “quality” of footage was technically much better, but it lost that “look” that the canon had. And not just the colours. I agree with your comment about lack of personality on Sony lenses

[@darrenlafreniere5518]

A7sii dammit

[@audioupgrades]

The lack of personality applies to totl lenses, like Sony GM or Sigma Art. It's because they have too many glass elements to correct for every optical defect. This causes the image to look clean, sharp and flat across the frame, i.e. clinical. Older lenses or cheaper lenses aren't so corrected and they have more character.

[@audioupgrades]

The problem is online lens testing reviews that pick out all optical flaws in new lenses. It makes it difficult to make and sell old-school lenses. The old-school lenses were designed for film or low-resolution digital sensors that were much more forgiving than modern sensors.

[@definingslawek4731]

Yes! Why were little point and shoot film cameras lenses so tiny and still bright but today even small lenses are pretty big. I love my big sigma art primes but I'd also love a little lens like you described, with character that I can take with me daily for my general life photos.

[@audioupgrades]

@@definingslawek4731 Film is more forgiving of optical defects than digital sensors. Large digital highres sensors are very revealing of optical flaws, so that's when the design philosophy for lenses changed to large lenses with many corrective elements.

[@mark.mahorney]

It's like they all make lenses randomly, measure them after the fact, then name them based on whatever it turns out to be. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason or obvious transitions. Nikon's two kit lenses make sense, then they leave you hanging at 250. They're like if you want more zoom than the naked eye, gonna have to pony up more than the entire two lens kit, they didn't continue the kit lenses into actual zoom range and the teleconverters don't work with the kit lenses.

[@jasongreen2745]

All I ever wanted was a C100 Mk 3 with 240. Instead, I have to wait for the mirrorless crap to go down the drain. The unfortunate bit is Sony was so close with the FS5; all they had to do was put the damn autofocus in it.

[@cadavisiii]

Sometimes I really love this show you put on. Sony actually inherited a tonne of technology when they acquired Minolta Konica in 2006. Minolta and Konica merged in 2003. Konica has a history of fantastic optics I think prior to mirrorless the deciding factor that krippled the adaption of Konica glass was it's flange distance. It has begun to gain popularity as people discover it's exceptional quality adapting to mirrorless. I'm digressing from my initial point that Sony does have a wealth of technology in their inherited archives. I think the biggest kick in the balls for camera companies has been cell phones. The Money these companies have lost in the consumer market has increased the cost of photo/video centric tools for professionals and advanced enthusiasts. Sony has stayed strong because they are a big player in the digital everything market with their sensor production. That Canon 50 f1.4 has very nice glass, it is actually sharper over all than the 50 f1.2L but yes the focuss failure issue is real, I know you will dissagree and I respect and agree with your criticisms but Sigma has a much better constructed 50 f1.4. I have a couple Sigma lenses that are actually very good lenses, there are minor issues I could pick at. It's funny how accurate you are with some of your analogies for the camera industry, I think the truth is these are massive corporations that have divissions that compete amongst themselves and there are cycles they go through where technology gets exploited to meet corporate profits, to fund developement, then they market products and if there isn't enough base sales the price of the best equipment goes up and they eliminate the middle ground. They will keep cheaper product lines around to fill the budget sales segment, but they hold out on the middle market in fear of impacting sales of their Flagship and professional lines, or withold updates to prompt sales of their new offerings. I know some professionals actually enjoy the exclusivity or prestige of tools not everyone has or can afford. Sony for a while was really packing a lot in their offerings, they still do, but it comes at a price. I'm hoping Canon will start a trend towards more affordable equipment with greater utility there original 7D was a killer camera when it came out and offered allot for the price, al be it a crop sensor. technology has outpaced it's utility for video today but they did exceptionally well with that Camera, maybe the R8 or something like it could be their next 7D? I would love to see them release an "almost perfect" camera that would push the industry to shift gears back toward providing better more versatile equipment with pro-features for advanced users who really could make fantastic use of it. Ultimately, satisfied customers sharing their love for these tools and the increadible work possible with them, have always been their best Ambassadors.

We're going to read a footnote to the news someday (KZbinr became a greasespot on the pavement today when through no fault of his own, his electric scooter was re-kitted by a confluence of bus/parked car/cross traffic and boom extended DJI III on a busy Toronto street this afternoon....more at 11) More guts than I have riding that thing all over. BTW, Nikon isn't doing 1.4 primes but are doing 1.2s in the S line and leaving the 1.4s to their "partners"....which is why I still drive DSLRs and "old" glass, some of it really old, older than you, older than your mom.

Canon's refusal to populate the enthusiast range of the RF system (can I get a weather sealed f/1.4 prime?) caused me to leave the system a couple years ago. I suspect they still haven't noticed my absence. The 16/24/50 cheap primes are a little trashy. The 35 1.8 is decent though. In general, it seems like lens manufacturers are starting to rely way too much on in-camera corrections, which is pretty much always going to result in poor IQ in the corners.
