The latest Interchangeable Lenses market share in Japan: BCN numbers show Sigma and Tamron lead the way. What lens brands do you use?

I use Nikon with my Nikon, I use Sony with my Sony, and I have used Canon with my Canon.
Why do you ask?
These lenses were made specifically for my camera. Third party glass are produced to fit many many many camera's. I believe quality standards and better tolerances are available with OEM glass. It will also be worth more when you go to sell, third party glass looses much more value than OEM glass. Fact
The main reason for third party glass is that they are cheaper than OEM glass.


That may be a rule to live by, but there are exceptions. When I did the research, I found that the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 for Sony was every bit as good on all levels as the Sony"G Master" f2.8 that cost $1,000.00 more. This lens has given me the most usage, and best quality images over the past two years than any other lens I own. I had the firmware updated by Sigma at WPPI after Sony came out with the A7IV. There is no question that some third party lenses are as good or better than OEM. To deny this is foolish.

At least with the Nikon Z9 129 frames per second actually makes less culling. It has a feature that alkows you to take shots up to a second before you push the shutter. So, if you out it in a tripod prefocused on home plate at a baseball game and then only push the shutter when someone gets a hit you save culling through every single pitch.

Many ither applications for that kind of frame rate including super slo motion video. Nothing says you have to use the frame rate but its really nice when you need it.

Yes, pre-capture is also in the Sony. I was thinking of the global shutter in the RX series. Having all that synchronization with a 1" sensor and 24-600 Zeiss lens. Now that is a traveling bridge camera!!

In the vernacular from whence these images were created: "Keep on truckin', Dude!!"

But my artist's brain has one request......please find images with the total face and try colorizing it.

New Mac question

No. My suggestion is to use the 17" as a monitor, and the mini is the new computer with internal and maybe external drive to get what you need.

I am no expert--just a suggestion that IF this works as a monitor (talk to apple) this would be thousands of $$ cheaper than the studio setup.


I have heard this can be done on certain 27" models. This would solve my problem. I will have to call Apple.

New Mac question
rleonetti wrote:
If $$ are an issue, and if the iMac 24 screen is too small, I would look at driving your existing 27" with a Mac Mini with the new M chips.


Just how do you do that? Do you still use the intel mac for storage?

New Mac question
I am in the same boat as you. I have a 27" iMac from 2012. It works, but the world around it does not accept it too much! So I bought an HP laptop a couple of months ago, but it just is not the same. The answers to your questions will help me also.

I was on an "exclusives" small group tour bus. One of the people had a 'real' camera and tripod. He wouldn't take pictures without a full set up because he was a "real photographer". The entire group had to wait for him at every stop.


There is a midpoint between inconspicuous and being a jerk!!

You pay all that money to travel overseas, and being inconspicuous is your goal??

We just got back from touring Europe and we probably saw at the most 10 people shooting with interchangeable lens cameras! Everyone else was using smartphones. Not saying that you’re not a photographer when using a smartphone! I use my Apple 14 Pro Max and I consider myself a photographer. I was even out of place using my little Sony RX100vii. Unbelievable! Not many years ago everyone who takes pictures were lugging around a big camera and lenses.


I agree. I think I was the only one on my river cruise that had a professional camera and lens. But because I have done this so many times, I did not feel strange, or out of place. I was amused by all the people using cell phones. Some day those will be up to par with the ton of equipment I carried. But not as of yet. You cannot get the DOF, and cropping ability with the cell phones.

River cruise castles
I just got back from a Cruise from Budapest to Nuremberg. I had my 70-300mm lens attached to a Sony A7Rlll. This got me close enough to the castles and ruins that were high up on hills. I have yet to really process them, but I will be able to crop substantially due to the high pixel count of that camera. It is hard to practice before you go, unless you have someone drive about ten miles an hour and you take photos of stationary objects from the passenger seat!!

Photography is like getting married. One should never commit oneself until you've shot with Canon.


Just how much stock do you own in Canon?
