So the thoughts are that the 35mm will be on the camera 95% of the time, but I just want something small and pocketable for the odd time I 'need' something wider. So whilst the 24mm f2.8 might not be the worlds best lens, from what I've read it's optically "decent" and it's tiny enough that I'll take it with me. The Tamron primes and the 28mm f/2 are just big enough that I'd find them a pain having them in my pocket (particularly on holiday wearing shorts) that I'd end up not taking them or getting 'annoyed'
Stop it.
Just in case you might be interested I shall be putting up my 100-400 for sale now that I'm taking delivery of the 200-600.Handled the Sony 100-400mm as well today, that's a really nice bit of kit. Feels in a different league to the Tamron 150-600mm and Panny 100-400mm I've owned. Mind you it should when you consider the price
I'll give a heads up in the next couple of days.
Camera goes on my peak design sling strap, lenses go in pockets. I like to keep things minimal, plus I like the camera to always be at the ready, I don’t like having to take it in and out if a bag.
Why would you do that? have not seen any camera that does it
Fujifilm does it... I think some others do too...

Why, well it makes the post-processing process quicker.... just edit on camera and export, job done.
Lol I was about to say
GM Lens?
The debate regarding post-processing workflows and which route / application is better will always rage on.
The Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens (SEL20F18G) will be announced today at 15:00
I just got myself a razor blade Stealth 13 that has a dedicated gpu.battery can past 6 to 8 hours and is more powerful and useful for editing on the Go then any other tabletThe debate regarding post-processing workflows and which route / application is better will always rage on.
For example I only use programs like Lightroom / Darkroom to do minor editing like exposure, shadow, highlights etc, so having in-camera editing might help is some cases, but in most cases I will most likely import to my iPad Pro and edit via Darkroom
Nice. Is there a 14mm 1.8 prime that exists?The Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens (SEL20F18G) will be announced today at 15:00
All my Nikons have had it.
TBH I’ve had surprisingly good results using the Nikon in camera raw editor. It’s absolutely no biggie, just nice for the odd time you want to upload a photo whilst out in the field, but with a bit more flexibility than shooting jpeg.
I have a dedicated eGPU for my MacBook Pro 13" which works well, no real problems when editing photos etc although I am not actually making use of the eGPU yet as hardly use Affinity Photo.
lolCanon don't.at least on the 5d4 I had.
I can't get along with lightroom tablet appI have a dedicated eGPU for my MacBook Pro 13" which works well, no real problems when editing photos etc although I am not actually making use of the eGPU yet as hardly use Affinity Photo.
I actually prefer editing on my iPad Pro which is simpler, easier and quicker ... again no real issues editing etc.
I guess your doing advanced editing which needs more horsepower
Yeah with Apple, you have to do things their way, for me it just works as I have Apple everything... I am ditching Lightroom tbh... going with Darkroom and Affinity Photo going forwards.
Olympus didn’t either, but it works well on Nikon. I’ve got LR mobile though if I need it
Try Darkroom insteadOlympus didn’t either, but it works well on Nikon. I’ve got LR mobile though if I need it
The 28 was on the radar but not exactly pocketable.
To let you know my line of thinking. On top of consolidating all my gear into one system I want(ed) a small ish walkabout and really fancied the X100V, and would get the WCL converter with it. I wouldn't plan on using the converter much but would have it 'just in case', but one of the main ideas was to force myself into a single focal length to try and improve my photography 'eye' rather than taking the same old 'holiday' and 'picture postcard' pictures.
However, as I started to look seriously at the A7R IV shortly after I'm really up to my budget with the Sony gear I want, and as I was a bit put off by the price of the X100V anyway it may have to take a back seat for a while until the price is more reasonable so I started to look at alternatives. Those alternatives have become the 35mm f2.8 'pancake' and the 24mm f2.8 pancake, not quite the same as the Fuji setup as that was 28mm and 35mm eq, but I actually prefer 24mm over 28mm as 28mm isn't 'that' much wider than 35mm. So the thoughts are that the 35mm will be on the camera 95% of the time, but I just want something small and pocketable for the odd time I 'need' something wider. So whilst the 24mm f2.8 might not be the worlds best lens, from what I've read it's optically "decent" and it's tiny enough that I'll take it with me. The Tamron primes and the 28mm f/2 are just big enough that I'd find them a pain having them in my pocket (particularly on holiday wearing shorts) that I'd end up not taking them or getting 'annoyed'
I should be able to pick up the Sony Zeiss 35mm f2.8 and Samyang 24mm f2.8 up for around £500 used, 1/3 of the price of the X100V and wide angle converter.
There's some logic in there somewhere I'm sure
On another note A7R IV ordered and on hold, should be picking it on Wednesday at the same time as saying goodbye to my Nikon and Olly, it's a bit bitter sweet. I'll actually have gone full circle too, Sony > Sony + Olympus > Nikon + Olympus > Nikon + Fuji > Nikon + Olympus > Sony
I went with the Sony 35mm f2.8 instead so that I've got a fully weather sealed system, none of the Samyangs are weather sealed AFAIK.Don't forget the 35mm f2.8 - a lovely sharp little lens !
I've also got the 18mm f2.8 and I'm very pleased with it so far - sharp and light enough that you don't mind taking it with you.
35mm
18mm
Look better on flickr !
Yep, Sony 35mm f2.8, Samyang 24mm f2.8 and 45mm f1.8, and Sony 28-70mm all on the way. 100-400mm, 16-35mm f4 and Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 will be ordered before long.
I'll not lose much, if anything on the 28-70mm.
