16-80 cannot make sharp photos or video at F4 and I am not sure if its even adequate at F8, is it faulty or am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately we don't know if that's your only lens (so you'd have something to compare it to), what your setup is (are you using a tripod? Manual or auto focus?), or what your level of photo expertise is. But I can say that none of those photos look sharp anywhere, not just where you're focusing. My 16-80 is very sharp in general and quite decent wide open. I just shot these for you, f/4 handheld, manual focus.

This lens (16-80) is mostly bought as a convenient choice. It covers a wide range at a decent price and performance. However, in terms of resulotion and contrast it’s quite a bit behind the 18-55 and the 16-55. It’s more towards the 18-135. You might want it for convenience, but not for the highest image quality. It has good center sharpness (which almost every modern day lens accomplishes) but for decent edge/corner sharpness you need to stop down to f8 and after f11 diffraction starts to kick-in. So you actually have a small operating bandwidth to work with when high IQ is needed. For general snapshots it’s a fine lens though.

      Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
