As some of you know I have been looking for a 50mm solution to use with my Canon 5D Mark II I really like my Nikon Ai-S 50mm f1.2 that I use on the F3P but not really enamored with any of the Canon 50mm offerings. So, I have recently tested a KF-NFEF-E le...  

Never used any such adapter before myself, it is interesting to see and learn about....

Canon-Canon, Nikon-Nikon, etc. But I just do not like the Canon 50mm offerings. Too expensive or too much plastic... and lenses should have some kind of signature results... Let's see how the adapter works out in the long run. Casey .

That I can comfortably return to high-end camera ownership in '23, I achieved a lot of long-term goals in '22, but my 12MP Google Pixel 4 cell phone camera was the only imaging tool I used over the past three years.... Currently, the 'front-runners' are t... 

The Nikon Z7 II sans lens is USD 2,600 list price, the Z8 must be more... The question I always pose... What are the target subjects and what accessories... For me filters and [Nikon] Webcam Utility are a must. Lens options is a big factor when selecting ... 

My main 'shooting objective' are a plethora of urban, suburban and rural landscapes. That's mainly the reason why I'm also giving serious consideration to a high megapixel medium format camera like the Hasselblad X2D 100C (includes sensor stabilization), ... 

The film ones are quite fun to use. I think given the types of photos I’ve seen you post I’d go with something more compact. A camera isn’t any good if you can’t access it. I wish I have a Q2 (but I had 2 many m43 Panasonic lenses to give up the ghost. ... 

That's why I'm primarily looking at the new X2D 100C. I believe it would fill well over 90% of what I look for in a camera with aplomb.... The only item of debate I've observed thus far is that the in-lens leaf shutter doesn't necessarily sync well enough... 

Probably irrelevant

I never do sports, and even though I do admittedly stop to take a few bird shots every so often, I never aim for that as a specific goal, it's purely circumstantial.... I'm definitely getting a brand new camera next year at some point, and the X2D is curr... 

so can't tell much about the use. Some companies optimize their own lenses with their camera. I guess looking at a few images may not be enough. Over time you will know if it gives what you want Since you are comfortable with manual focusing, with focus d... 

Thanks for the suggestion... I will do a little research. Do you have this lens? any photo examples? Casey .

for my D800E some years ago. I looked at two Zeiss - the 50mmMakro and the Otus 55mm. I did a simple comparison and found that the Otus renders the colour, contrast and resolution better than the 50Makro. I tried to look for the comparison files in my har...  

The Zeiss Makro 50 f/2 gives a good image...and I have no doubt that the Otus 55mm delivers a quality image as well. Casey .
