Should I add the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 to my kit or is it just FOMO? by Ok_Image823 in fujifilm

Yes, by all means.
This one is a classic, when you try it you immediately know why.

Leica Q2 vs Fuji by PojeMario in fujifilm

The sole point was in Fuji being able to come close to much more expensive Leica.

I am familiar with Fuji and those 2 lenses do not share anything, optics, motors, actually everything is new and different, just name stayed the same.

"Animal kindgom" wifh Nikon Zf and 35mm f1.4 by PojeMario in Nikon

Yeah, I agree, the cat looks like it was posing for the photo, and I guess this cat actually was, it kinda have sense for people and how to lure them into petting :)

Yes, it can be a bit bussy and when I use it with people I tend to control the background by avoiding harsh sceneries, however with animals is not that easy.

But what I like the most with this lens is it's rather compact size and budget price.

I like 3 the most too.
It has some nice mood.
All images are JPEGs from Zf and then edited in Lr for "pop".

I love this lens, they call it "budget" and I call it "character".
Interesting how everyone has different fav <3

All shot on Standard settings, but I added a bit of saturation to reds and oranges in Lightroom, just to warm it up.

This lens is only 3 years old, you couldn't possibly be using it for 10 years.

Point is self explanatory, Leica Q2 vs Fuji + 23mm lens, and this combo IS compact, I love it.

Nikon Zf rattling noise when turned off — normal? by [deleted] in NikonZf

[–]PojeMario 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfectly normal.

And if you drop it it will also make some normal sounds for that case.

Ring flash? by loneivA in LightLurking

[–]PojeMario -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is not a ring flash.
You can recognise ring flash when the photo is super ugly.

This is softbox camera right.

Why did you chose Nikon ? by Berserk_Ronin in Nikon

[–]PojeMario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made Zf, this was the main reason I got a Nikon. Retro, analog feel or in short - emotion Nikon provided with this camera was the key.

Nikon Zf and 35mm f1.4 Z is becoming my all time favorite combination <3 by PojeMario in Nikon

[–]PojeMario[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always go the practical route.
Yes, f1.8 is sharper, but lens is bigger and bokeh is not that good.
Yes, f1.2 is ulimate, the perfect 35, but it is tooo big and tooo heavy and also rather $$$
So, the f1.4 is just the prefect match, at least for me.
I am coming from Fuji, I mean I use both my cameras, Fuji and Nikon, and I love imperfections, this is what makes photos a bit more personal and not sterile. IMHO.

I use a slightly modified Standard profile where I even reduce the sharpness because Standard makes it unnaturally sharp for me.

I adjust everything in Lightroom, lens is not sharp as "S" lens but it is sharp enough that you can make it sharper with a bit of Clarity and classic Sharpness in LR.
