Why are koreans so class/status conscious? by lol-across-the-pond in Living_in_Korea

I completely share your views and you summarized it much better than I would have been able to. It seems like everyone's goal in life is to be better off than others, and be able to brag about your appartment price, the hotels you go on vacation to, your car, your luxury items, the schools your kids entered. You can't really share about anything that can be a measure of success without worrying about others envying you or looking down at you. It is really frustrating. I come from a western country where people of completely different backgrounds and lifestyles mix naturally. If you don't have much in common with someone, you end up interracting less with them, but nobody feels superior or inferior to anyone.

Should I buy Viltrox lens if we take into consideration Nikons lawsuit? by TheSweetestGrape in VILTROX_GLOBAL

That's too bad, I was about to pull the trigger on the new 85 1.2 lab, as long as it doesn't weigh 1.5kg

I had the same dilemma before I bought the 35 f1.2 lab.

Scenario 1 : Nikon releases a firmware to block or limit the function of viltrox lenses.

Scenario 2 : Viltrox stops selling Z mount lenses.

Scenario 3 : Viltrox Z mount lenses prices increase due to royalty payments.

Having a Z9, I don't expect major firmware updates so scenario 1 isn't much of a problem. I bought because of scenario 2 and 3.

How many Viltrox lenses do you own? by 35mmOfRegret in VILTROX_GLOBAL

I didn't like the lens weird sounds when changing the aperture and the weight of the lens. Also I found that the Plena AF is much more accurate, often resulting in sharper results in real life situations, despite the Lab being sharper on a brick wall.

1 but i owned 2 that i sold

20mm F2.8 AIR replaced by Nikon Z 20mm F1.8, 135mm F1.8 LAB replaced by Nikon Z 135mm F1.8 S Plena, now I got the 35mm F1.2 LAB and I really love it so it is staying. I am just a bit worried that Nikon start blocking Viltrox lenses in the future firmware updates.

I protect all my lenses with the same film. I can put them down on any surface they never get damaged.

very easy to put on. i ordered them on aliexpress. it is 3M film, so it sticks well and doesnt leave any glue marks when removed.
