  1. I'm assuming that's based on more than just dust in a single lens?
  2. Perhaps the OP just has a peculiar grudge against pint sized Canon photo printers.
  3. Unfortunately, selfies are not the driving force behind that phenomenon.
  4. I am not familiar with that particular convention and apparently, neither is Google. Rectilinear implies straight lines of which a fisheye delivers decidedly few.
  5. I own the lens and already shared my concerns in a different thread. And it's not just the clunking either.
  6. Thanks for posting this. A niggle though: A rectilinear fisheye is an oxymoron. You are probably referring to a diagonal fisheye.
  7. I was thinking more along the lines of: 12/2: for shooting landscapes because I found the 12-40 pro to heavy for multi-day hikes and am able to fit this and an E-M5 in a small day pack with room to spare for essentials. And since I generally shoot wide vistas, I don't miss the longer focal lengths of the zoom. Something like this would definitely help me if I were considering purchasing this lens. Just "12/2", not so much. Or: 45/1.8: considered the noctitron but for the price, found that the 45 offers enough subject separation when ensuring about xx feet to the background. For indoor use, the shallower DOF and additional light gathering ability of the noctitron may be beneficial.
  8. I had been searching for similar experiences but somehow missed this thread. Thanks for confirming that this behavior is apparently by design.
  9. I just wondered if anyone could clarify what information these threads provide to their respective OPs. If 100 anonymous people tell you their favorite car, then what is it that you have actually learned? The most you can deduce is which model is most popular among that particular group of respondents. But you don't know who they are and what they are looking for in a car, so that knowledge is entirely useless. Unless all respondents were to provide a bit of rationale behind their decision, which is what I suggested a few posts up. So no, I do not think that these threads are created for my benefit. I just wanted to point out that they could actually be somewhat useful if people didn't just contribute to a pool of all permutations of 3 numbers from a fixed set.
  10. Do you happen to hear (and feel) something moving inside the lens when you turn it upside down? And perhaps a faint noise coming from within the lens when it's attached to the camera and you slowly point it up and down?
  11. I agree. I don't have an online portfolio myself, but if I would contribute to a thread like this, I'd make sure to elaborate on my preference so anyone could match it to their own style. I don't mean this to be confrontational or keep beating a dead horse, but to me personally, the three posts above yours contain no information whatsoever.
  12. That's why I feel that threads like these would be so much more informative if each member's selection included some information about the style of photography the selected lenses are being used for. This would allow me to filter the responses based on a similarity in style. I'm not sure if an average across so many disparate styles would yield a useful general purpose selection.
  13. Ideal setup for what? Sports? Architecture? Portraiture? Macro? Landscape? Street? It seems kind of pointless to me to collect arbitrary permutations of 3 lenses without a clarification of their intended purpose.
