When I originally wrote this article the lens was too new and there were no replacements. I plan to do a new blog post soon to announce your discovery.

Regarding the lens foot, there is an aftermarket foot made by Hejnar Photo. (http://www.hejnarphotostore.com) It is custom manufactured and of very high quality, and has an Arca plate built in.

The point is: the lens is very light, has excellent bokeh and sharpness, seems to be very planar, has excellent light transmission, it is very compact and has internal focusing. It seems to be all we wanted from this type of lens. Wheter it compares well with a Canon with a 70-200/2.8, a compact camera with a 50x zoom, and from a Leica S with a 180 Apo-Elmar is irrelevant, the only question is: does it do the job you want from it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-73461700227146799482014-12-09T05:28:52.374-05:002014-12-09T05:28:52.374-05:00I wonder about this lens and the X-T1 for photogra...I wonder about this lens and the X-T1 for photographing sports.

Perspective / compression has nothing whatsoever to do with focal length and everything to do with your position in relation to the subject. This is very easy to test yourself. A 135mm lens on APS-C and a 200mm lens on FF will yield identical perspective and compression when taken from the same position. (And essentially identical images if you account for the DOF difference by stopping down the FF shot by a stop. <br />http://admiringlight.com/blog/perspective-correcting-myth/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903895808003257915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-18767865390835503802014-12-08T23:09:26.188-05:002014-12-08T23:09:26.188-05:00Well yes and no.

This lens does show DOF ability similar to F4 full frame, and this lens has a maximum compression of 140mm, whereas the fullframe gets a very attractive 200. But then again this lens has by early reports amazing stabilisation and weight/size/weather sealing benefits that perhaps bring it up to equal the FF 70-200. Plenty of variables. However the biggest factor is the person taking the shot, not the lens. Without that person both lens are shite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-7004547115568698592014-12-08T22:30:37.823-05:002014-12-08T22:30:37.823-05:00This is an F4 lens in full-frame terminology.

I had the Sony 70-200 F4 and sold it because it is white and ostentatious. That is the true comparison of this lens, not the f2.8 FF lenses. If it was an F1.8 lens then it would compare to the f2.8 FF lenses, and it would be the same size.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-67098590697215670962014-12-08T21:37:47.469-05:002014-12-08T21:37:47.469-05:00tracking, tracking, I miss that for football.

You've sold me on this lens! I've been shooting with an X100S for about 1.5 yrs, and am in the process of selling most of my Pentax gear to get an X-T1 (graphite silver of course...). I mostly shoot normal to wide angle, but sometimes need a telephoto and this is shaping up to be a phenomenally good lens.Adamhttp://www.adamjohnrichardson.comnoreply@blogger.com
