      Why Do I Have Such Difficulty with the 28mm FL?

      By Markey · Posted

      Another vote for trying a CL . I say this coming from a view that intended to trade in my CL kit  (18/23/35/60/55135) for a Q3 until I had a play with one. I was simply doing so to cut down on kit but I`m now far from convinced that I`d be doing the right thing. The CL offers far more versatile and probably offers reasonable image quality compared to the Q although I can`t say that I spent long enough time with the Q3 to confirm that. I only post on social media these days.

      Leica SL2 on Sports & Wildlife Photography

      By sillbeers15 · Posted

      I have been out of action in the thread I started for a while. Two years in & out of the pandemic restricted international travel for me did shifted more of my interest into BIF photography. It started with me curious about 600mm & beyond primes instead of only third party zooms with no faster aperture than F6.3 if i were to continue with my SL2. Much in mirrorless bodies offering specific subject detection as Birds, Airplanes caught my curiosity even more. With the introduction of built in teleconverter primes at 400mm F2.8 & 600mm F4 in late 2022, I picked up a Nikor Z 600mm TC VRS when it became available in 2023. I've not had a single Nikon camera before. So pairing with the 600mm prime I picked up a Nikon Z9. Having only had experience in using a mirrorless Leica SL & SL2, I had to learn everything in the AF setting up from scratch. The Nikon Z9 & 600mm F4 prime lens (840mm F5.6 at a flip of a toggle switch on the lens barrel) did performed with easier picking up of the subject in frame due to the subject recogniction and stayed on the subject once focus lock triggered offering higher success rate at 20fps RAW shooting provided user does not loose subject out of frame over time. However there were still the same frastration of not being able to focus lock on subject against strong back light on less instances compared to SL2. So no magic pill from Phase Detect over Contrast Detect AF offered by SL & SL2. After comparing both AF detection methods, my conclusion is firmly on the much faster processor chip offered on the Z8 & Z9 over the SL2 and likely the SL3 as well since the Leica AFC continuous shooting frame rate with full AF still stays at 5fps. My comments are completely neutral & factual taking out emotions comparing what Leica limitation could offer in mirrorless bodies & AF lenses for wildlife photography although modarator may not like me saying so in a Leica camera forum (no problem for me to shut up and stay out,...). I still love the colour and rendering of images the Leica glasses could offer compared to the other full frame lenses in the available focal length range.

      Diffraction...

      By 01af · Posted

      Don't listen to that nonsense. Those two ... umm, 'experts' just promote the usual misconceptions about diffraction and pixel size. . Ugh ... lengthy, but correct, for a change. Thank you for that link! One of the very few places on the Internet where the relationship of detail, resolution, diffraction, and pixel size is explained properly. Another is here (use Google translator if you don't read German).
