@Panther, then why does this lens exist, and why does it mention focus breathing?

This will be very popular for professional portraiture.

Good point about the geomagnetic pole. It looks like Iceland and Churchill are well-positioned at present, while southern Alaska is not.

Iceland is not expensive to reach, with direct flights from...

The 40mm looks just like an AI/AI-s lens, just without the bunny ears that weren't actually used even then. Some Series E were essentially identical (without the ears) while others were cheap...

You could probably fit 100 TB of SSD's in a 250-shot magazine. That's what, 5 million raws?

The Df was a great camera, but way bulkier than the film classics like the FE and FM. If they can make a FF body that small, it would be wonderful. Maybe the guts of a Z5 or Z6 with a matching FTZ.

You could say that Fuji copied the FM before Nikon did. Either way, nothing wrong with more options.

They're not going to release an F mount camera. How about a retro-styled Z5 with a similarly-styled FTZ?

60mm equiv is an odd choice. Historically, the single focal length of choice has been 35 or 50mm.

How about a 24mm f/1.8 DX? The FF F mount lens is only 355g.

The Noct also attracts a small number of professionals who need a lens that performs at f/0.95, don't care about the size or cost, and would be using manual focus anyway.

Strictly speaking, 8k video requires a 40mp sensor because the aspect ratios are different.

Churchill is actually far to the south of the most notable Aurora destinations like Alaska and Iceland.

He doesn't say that's the only camera he used. More likely, the 8K time-lapses were taken as still images with an intervalometer. An A1 or A7RIV would work for that.

Great imagery! I definitely prefer the shots without man-made objects in them. The reflection of starlight in the water is impressive.

The difference is that full-frame sensors have similar noise at a 2 stop higher ISO. Not that they're more sensitive at the same ISO. So, bump up the ISO by 2 stops, close the aperture by 2 stops, ...

It's tilt + articulated. Best of both worlds.

That's equivalent to 24-80/5.6 on full frame. One option would be the Panasonic 24-105/4 OIS. No focus clutch, and heavy, but optically excellent and moderately priced.

I've never seen any color film that can compare to recent digital sensors, and I've shot everything from Kodachrome to Ektar to Velvia. Add to that the complexity of color processing, and it isn't...

The typical digital camera sensor is a monochrome sensor with a pattern of R, G, and B filters covering the individual pixels.

All the full-frame Panasonic, and many Nikon, Canon, and Sigma mirrorless lenses have little-to-no breathing.
