He would still think that he is posting and no one would be responding, a troll worst nightmare. The guy doesn't contribute anything to this forum, he says he has zero interest in the Nikon but continuously post on them. Expand This is a really good idea. The forum software doesn't have a Ghost feature but it should have it. I had to ban him in the end.

Castorp Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Canons rf 35mm looks great. Wish Nikon would have opened up with a 35mm f2.8 pancake for 500$. With that huge mount they’ll be able to make very good pancakes. Another cool option would be a 28mm (same FOV as smartphones we’re all getting used to). Make it f4 or even 5.6. Should make it inexpensive to design and produce. The AF would be blazing at f2.8 or f4. Perfect walk about lens the size of a body cap for 300$. I’m sure they’ll show up at some point. hansel and Simon Young 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbro Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 In other news; sony is announcing their a7siii & a6700 this month. Supposedly sept 18th & an event at photokina. Also, that new Fuji looks interesting, plus the Panasonic ff. Seems like a terrible time to buy a canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Do they really hate it? Hadn't noticed actually.

Snowbro Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Someone offered me $4400 for my 1dx ii just now. Hmm. I feel like it's going to get crushed in the next 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Pancake lenses on a mirrorless body are a big attraction to me, it truly lives up to one of the benefits of mirrorless: compact size!

ND64 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 There are two Z7 videos in this guy's vimeo profile https://vimeo.com/aldoriccifilmmaker BTW, did you know that Active D-lighting is available in 4k?

The XT3 and Zed's both look far better than the RF. Speaking from experience, a few Mai-Tai's can do that to people though... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyyyel Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yep I would like to see it tested, it could act a bit like an inbuilt HDR mode with the flat profile enabled. More so as N log can only be used at ISO 800, which will need some serious NDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always use the Nikon Flat profile instead, which I find better suited to 8bit than most LOG profiles anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 My personal opinion is that buying a R versus a Z is being out of his mind. Want good photo? Get the Nikon with better sensor and as good ergonomics/colors. Want video or both? Well IBIS plus No crop beat canon R anytime. But for me A7S3 / GH5 FF should be better than the Z, at least in video. a shame that Nikon does not release a 4K60P A7SIII equivalent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
