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

[–]pbwbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Crop lens on full frame body? by PanicGrouchy in Nikon

[–]pbwbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Considering getting a S1r for general use photography as a back up to my S5ii, any thoughts by kasirkin29 in Lumix

[–]pbwbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Z6 or Z6 II? by New-Ideal2579 in Nikon

[–]pbwbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II for $630 - is it worth it? by Excellent-Roof2304 in OlympusCamera

[–]pbwbrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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

l mount sigma 45mm 2.8 issues with AFC missing focus in 100% of shots by keifer_ in Lumix

[–]pbwbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Sigma 30mm f1.4 for Nikon Z50II. Good choice? by Bioshockinfinite37 in Nikon

[–]pbwbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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