POLL - Curious, do you shoot RAW, JPEG, or BOTH?

Longshadow wrote:

The question was prompted by a comment in another thread.

INSTRUCTIONS: Post only ONE WORD: "RAW"; "JPEG"; or "BOTH".
No dissertations, no explanations as to why, no opinions, no recommendations,...
no matter how badly you feel you have to.

ANY response other than ONE of the three words will not be tallied.

Both

Oops…. I won’t call myself smart…. not even kidding…. Just ask my kids….

My Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC (a DX-only lens - pre ART) also has NO rattles or clunks...very solid like a brick. Weighs like one also!

From: https://m.dpreview.com/articles/4606181052/field-test-sigma-dn-lenses

“ When the lenses are loose, or attached to a camera that isn't switched on, they clunk quite alarmingly when tipped upside down, like one of those child's toys that moos and has a cow on the side. I can only assume that is the focusing group sliding back and forth, because as soon as the camera is switched on the group comes under control and, reassuringly, the clunking disappears.”

The Merrill should really show off that lens at it... (show quote)

These 3 particular Art/EX lenses all have the floating lens innards that after the camera is turned on, do not rattle- at that point the lens is powered up and that floating element is ready to focus as the camera tells it to.

“Clunk, Thump” is quite accurate!

I have this & the Sigma 60mm f2.8 in SONY FE mount. They all rattle when the camera is not turned on, they are sharp, light weight and low cost, what else could I want. I am very happy with these Sigma lenses.

~ Just my personal opinion here..... I have the 19mm and 60mm ART versions and the 30mm in question here. The rattle is a known fact of the way they are built with a floating element. Also, the sharpness, contrast, and color rendition are something that keep one or more of these lenses a constant on my M43 Oly and Lumix bodies. A look around the Net will show how controversial these lenses are, and why they generally go for less $$.
...Now, I happen to also like longer lenses as my normal - as in a 50mm (a Nikkor S 1.4 at this moment) on my APSc Nikon bodies is normal for me. My 12-24mm zoom rarely sees action.
