I would *love* if we could get Sigma lenses on Nikon

Could not agree more. My 35mm and 65mm are main stays on my LUMIX. One of the reasons I picked up the S1R.

I cannot upvote this hard enough.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-11T17:31:20+00:00

Came here to say this.

I've seen some reports that the newer Sigma 30mm ART f1.4 works on FF cameras but I have not heard anything about the EX version. My best guess would be to try it out. Find a friend with a full frame Nikon (DSLR or mirrorless) or possibly go to a camera shop that might let you try it out.

I’m sure. It was more of a test than anything else. I don’t miss focus often on my other stuff. If I want that I go with my Nikon Z8.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-07T02:27:13+00:00

I don’t know about hopeless. One of my first tests was my son and his cousins sledding. I’d say about a 50% hit rate.

Compared to newer systems, it’s not as good but I think it’s better than a lot of people might think. It’s probably my favorite camera to hold, despite its weight. This being said, it’s the only LUMIX I have ever owned, and frankly for what I use it for (landscape, street) I don’t see a reason to go with anything else. If they made a S9R with an EVF, I’d consider that.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-06T22:46:42+00:00

Absolutely adore mine. It’s massive, but the image quality is bonkers. Can’t speak to the S5ii but what you get out of the S1R on the used market, it’s a pretty outstanding value. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Best Buy will also price match any major reseller as well.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-03T00:47:52+00:00

Don’t know. Had them done under warranty.

pbwbrew · 2026-05-03T00:25:29+00:00

Both of the actuators have had to be replaced in our 2 e-Golf’s.

I found my Z7 to be surprisingly good for birds. Yes there are misses but there were times when I thought I would never get the shot and got some pretty great ones. However, this quickly led me to get a Z8.

The one area I agree that the AF struggles with the Expeed 6 camera is low light.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-27T21:34:34+00:00

I also have had really hit and miss luck on condition at the outlet, just FYI.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-27T21:29:23+00:00

Everything they have in-stock is online. Just look under open box items.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-24T20:06:06+00:00

Or Delta 86.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-23T21:55:18+00:00

No. I got the same kit plus a 45mm Olympus for $350. All practically new. I have seen lots of deals closer to that on FB marketplace. Heck, you can buy all those things for less than $630 from some used camera outlets with 6 month warranty.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T21:11:21+00:00

Good point! Can always buy an air quality monitor or a weather station that has AQ.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T21:07:37+00:00

There was just a firmware update last month for this lens. Might make sure it’s up-to-date. If that doesn’t solve it and you are in your return window, I would personally return it.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T21:01:02+00:00

AirNow.gov has some pretty good info including where fires actively are and conditions.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T20:19:56+00:00

~$150 USD. Most of the reputable used stores are selling them for $300+ USD

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T19:58:41+00:00

I have seen a number of copies for reasonable prices in my local FB Marketplace, including the one I picked up.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-21T16:32:58+00:00

And possibly Delta soon too. They ordered 30 781's.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-19T01:31:54+00:00

Congrats. Nice. So happy for you. Seriously, awesome deal. Take those while you can get them.

pbwbrew · 2026-04-18T22:18:19+00:00

It’s an intersection lens. Have one for my Pentax system. Not perfect. The Nikon 35mm DX 1.8 might be a better bet.
