Bought it and it’s so cool

Your opinion on Canon's commitment to APS-C lenses has been proven over years of neglect from Canon, even before the RF mount. Have they ever made an L-lens specifically for crop sensors? They've always treated the crop-bodies as an upgrade path to full frame, which is a shame. Fujifilm really redefined what a premium crop sensor system could be-smaller, more affordable, and still offering great image quality.

Unfortunately the camera fails to connect via WiFi to the iPhone via the LUMIX Lab app, even after pairing via Bluetooth. This renders the experience of transferring LUTs and photos useless.

If you shoot a selfie with this camera in auto mode will the photo still be sharp?

not nifty fifty at all , far too expensive and killing the meaning of the definition. its a great one but 4 times to expensive for that title

Been on my list for 1 years but ifthis time if i do good on studies they would buy me one

That's been really useful to see it compared to 2 quality L lenses, and I'm surprised at how well the 16mm is holding out compared to them. It's convinced me to go for one for a travel lens. Another video from an astrophotographer also convinced me it's surprisingly good here too, in spite of the issue of quite a bit of chromatic aberration; it seems this is fairly easily corrected. Thanks for doing this detailed video.

Is this one better than the original Sony 24-70 GM i? I’m in the market for a 24-70 and I found the original Sony for the same price as the new Sigma mark ii.

I just don't care about video. I care about weight, ease of use for my aging vision and price. I prefer to buy used

X-H2 + X-T50, the perfect combo. The X-T50 + 27 pancake fits in a large pocket.

This is the best video about v10, thank you so much

Why is this lens $700.00 Canadian cheaper and the front element so small compared to the EF lens yet is a 1.4?

Gordon, I have this lens now. It is sharp but the amount of chromatic abbreviation is high for a lens at this price point. Even with the lens profile enabled in Adobe Camera Raw I have to add +4 to get rid of the last of the purple fringe. Yes, it’s weather sealed and, yes, it is well made but I’m having some buyer’s remorse over the purchase. 😱

Thanks!

How much digital correction have they implemented?

If it had an ISO dial, I'd buy it.

Brilliant review as usual and the perfect comparison. Thank you.

hi, could you help me fill out a questionnaire with photo prints? Thank you!🎉

copied and pasted from your RF 16 review. Gordon, I'm a big fan of your work. I bought a kindle version of your book.... and then a real printed hardcover version because I wanted to see big, printed images. FWIW, I find the hardcover version to be superior. May I ask some advice? I have owned the RF 16 for a few years. helluva little lens. I love to shoot landscape photos. I looked at the 3 lenses u mentioned here quite a bit. I cannot imagine that I would need the wide aperture on the 15-35. I am leaning toward purchasing the 14-35 but wonder if I will see a significant improvement in photo quality over the prime that I now own. Next January I hope to photograph the NaPali coast from the sea. I have done this twice and both results have been ....good. I want to create a really excellent image. Am thinking of perhaps a few photos at 14 mm stitched together.... or maybe quite a few photos at 35 mm stitched together. I'm a serious amateur with enough discretionary income to buy either of these zooms... just undecided if I really want to spend that extra money for the 15-35

Just got mine today, and disappointed. The body is mainly plastic, quite overpriced since it is priced quite close to the amazingly well built 23mm r lm wr

4:58 is that a music studio?

When I heard about a 4.5 to 6.3 lens I wonder who's gonna buy an equivalent 7.2 to 10 in full frame?

What is about chromatic aberation, distorion and vignetting? A modern L prime should be very good in this.

I used to own the original wide version and loved it. I've got an album in the loft that documents a lot of my early 20's in this wide format, which I'm so grateful for as the digital photos I took back then have long been lost. The biggest downside was the bulk and the cost of prints. Great to see an updated version of this camera, though. Brilliant video as always Gordon - I hope you're well mate!

Thanks for the review on this Gordon. When you brought up it actually lost the manual controls to lighten or darker the exposure I was surprised. I’m convinced at this point that the instax team is trying force people to buy the printer by releasing terrible camera options for their wide film. Time to find my wide 200 a backup. It has the best manual control set up of all the wide cameras hands down.

I looked at sample photos of the R8 at DP review and they were gorgeous. And then I looked at the samples of the Pana S1 and I was shocked how bad they were.

Me likes the 17-40mm EF because it's cheap, light and it works. How hard is that?

Digital images stored on tape lasts 100 years I am told.

Hi Gordon, being a thrifty nifty-50+ amateur photographer I appreciate respected reviewers like yourself giving time to reviews of budget gear. Thank you.

I feel like closest focusing distance (especially when zooming) is a big point for flexibility when shooting Got an old powershot a800 which will focus basically no matter what

OMG! This is it? Let me fake a smile… just heard a song - “why do I keep f*!#in’ up?”🤭 My X-M1 gives me peace of mind.

Looks good for the R-50 body.

Is the hybrid zoom feature also available on the Sony ZV-E1 ? I just found it to be a really cool feature not mentioned by other reviewers.

This sucker is sharp! I just obtained this lens.

Thank you for a great review. I just took delivery of a mint used copy in June 2024. And after one day very happy with its size and the small bag space it takes up on either my A7CII or A7CR. I do own the bigger and brighter 70-200/2.8 GM II but I bought specifically for use on my compact C camera bodies. Actually owned the original version one back when I started with Sony 10 years ago. So far so good. Take care.

Id still rather have a Panasonic gh7.

What about Linux?

How many are you buying?

Are all the future Sigma lenses mentioned for APSC ?

I spoke with Fuji Instax a number of months ago about their move to remove any buttons that offer control over exposure or flash: they simply aren't interested in making new cameras with these features anymore, so expect to see more cameras like this where we are locked into whatever settings the automatic exposure offers us. I bought the square version of this camera, and was severely disappointed at how under-exposed my shots were. Unless you're outside shooting in broad daylight, these new cameras just suck.

What a great little lens! I wish they made it in Canon EF-M mount. I've toyed with the idea of changing systems so i can use it but that would be dumb.If i accept a larger heavier setup there are much better lenses out there, including Sigma's great f1.8 zooms.

Im glad i decided to go with a printer

Hello, did you notice any focus jump/focus pulsating when you close up to the subject with autofocus on with this lens (PZ 16-35mm F4 G)? Mine seems to have the issue when I use gimbal to go in closer to the subject's face, it seems to have that zoom pump, but it is actually the focus going error for a very fast milliseconds (or looks like focusing the back of the subject in mine), and then slowly focus back to the subject, and it is quite frequent. Or sometimes it would just make that whole scene to have the shaking stutter effect for a millisecond, I had even set the focus shift sensitivity to the lowest, and it still does the same thing. For the body I'm currently using A7S3. Attached here is an example (not my video, but a clip I manage to found online which has the same issue as mine), look at the table at the bottom area and you'll understand what I meant: ruclips.net/video/DqZnYqg3zRA/видео.html Much appreciated for your replies, thank you.

Great made in Japan lens for Canon made in Japan cameras.

Thank you for the review! Is the 4K/6K photo mode completely gone? Can you still take photos while recording videos like previous LUMIX models? Thank you for the excellent review!

I bought one for 99 euro with 2 cf cards and 3 lenses and 6k clicks. Nice buy😂

I might just keep my R7, after all. What we need is an APSC tele zoom with a 5.6 minimum aperture. The trouble with the FR100-500 is that over half of it's area is wasted by the crop. (1.6*1*6=2.56) It could either be a stop brighter or half the weight, both without losing quality. As for the RF100-400, R8 is really too dark for a crop camera at high speeds. An RF-s100-400 f5.6 should be doable at a similar size, weight and cost to the RF100-400 f8. What killed the M6 MkII for me was the lack of high quality native stabilized lenes and an unstabilized body.

A lot of work involved in this excellent review Gordon. You're a 'master' of reviews. 3 excellent lenses but the size of the RF version is really tempting ! Thanks Gordon !

I have a theory: If they release a more advanced camera later, let's call it the Instax Wide 600, the higher price of that camera needs to be justified by it being more advanced than the base model. Perhaps the 300 is already "too advanced" when compared to the future 600 model so people don't feel the need to upgrade. So by selling the 400 until the old 300 stock runs out, the Instax 600 will be compared to the 400, therefore making it look way more advanced and the price justified. The ugly color also fits this theory when the 600 is released in a more professional looking black.
