I haven’t tried the f2. However the 1.4 was all I kept of my entire Fuji setup. With the plan of returning one day and that being the main lens. I love it. As others have said. No weather proofing and AF isn’t as fast as other lenses I have had. The quality was superb though.

Many moons ago I used to enjoy photography and had some ok kit. Not long after the kids were born I started selling stuff off. Eventually all I was left with was some cheap flashes, a Fuji 35mm and a Sigma 105mm Macro for Canon. Couldn’t bring myself to sell them despite no body! I’ve sat on...

That's great thank you, just watched the videos above and it's almost sealed the deal. Does pretty much what I need, I just need to get over that 'expecting a camera to do everything!'

No, but I will check it out, thanks

@4wd thanks for the suggestion. I watched a few videos on it and instantly thought this could be what I want. Good quality, convenient, the zoom I'm not too bothered about as generally I don't walk around with it. But the age old trick of reading to many reviews caught me out. Saying that...

So, 18 month ago I sold all my camera gear to fund a side hustle / business venture. Through a series of twists and turns ive ended up a youtuber. Now, im back in the market for a new camera, budget £800, and different use to what I had before. Im currently doing the merry-go-round of...

Yeah agreed. Now the small decision of which system Thanks again

The more I think about it, a full on macro could have the opposite effect, full scrutiny of how clear the lines are and how good she is Thankyou for the opinions guys, you've both got me thinking of different perspectives and helped clear it up.

Yeah rule tubes out. I do have a raynox adapter somewhere if needed but DOF is paper thin. Most photos are used primarily for social media, so maybe cropping would be ok?

Fair point. Compared to smart phone a decent prime would be spot on cropped. The general pose is a row of nails, with second hand behind but that can be out of focus. So DOF would work with a decent prime. I probably don't actually need macro at all now you've explained it. Hmmmm too many...

Cheers, I have no idea, I've missed this about photography,-not knowing what way to turn! I've never seen this lens and there's little info available it seems. Appreciate the advice, and will take on board, thank you

Yeah I know what you're saying. The thing is I always get a 30/35mm anyway. It will be on a crop. I kept my sigma 105mm as I loved that lens. But.... I need something my missus can use. WiFi jpg too phone and post her work on fb/Instagram. The room she uses is all spotlights, so shadows...

Random isn't it.

So .. Sold all my gear a year or so ago. I kept a fuji lens and a Canon lens, whilst I decided what I wanted to rebuy one day. I had pretty much made my mind up on either a fuji xt-20 or Sony a6300. Both look stunning. Reluctantly I ruled out a Canon crop. Then.... Today I found out about...

I'm selling my Canon 6D, just got round to checking the shutter count and cannot for the life of me find the USB cable. I've found a similar one but that doesn't work. 2 questions: 1. Can any of the utilities do this via Wifi or via Photo Exif (Ive heard they don't work on the 6D) 2. Can...
