"Tonight, you men will sleep with your cameras!"

wrote: And RichA will sleep with his keyboard. "You will give your lens, a dog's name." (because that's how they perform). http://dpreview.com/news/1008/100812...00mmemount.asp Now why on earth would I want a measly 18-200mm (27-300mm EFL) F3.5-6.3, when I already have a 9-735mm (EFL) F2.7-3.5 on one of my superzoom cameras, by using two high-quality converter lenses--camera and both converter lenses all fitting into one roomy windbreaker pocket. That's 2 stops more aperture on my camera at the long end with almost 2.5 times the focal-length. Meaning: noise-free images at ISO200 when you would need to have noise-free images at ISO800. Ooops, you can't get a 735mm F6.3 lens. So sad. Crank up that ISO some more for longer focal-lengths. You can get 600mm (EFL) out of that lens if you use a 2x tele-converter, but then you're using an apparent aperture of F12.7. (Damn, can't use any phase-detection focusing at that aperture on any camera. So sad.) Crank up that ISO to 3200 now for 600mm. Boy, I sure hope that equivalent exposure setting needed is noise-free on your camera. (LOL) Yet you still haven't come close to the 735mm (EFL) reach of my camera yet. I also have almost 1 stop more aperture at the short end at 1/3rd of the shortest focal-length of the $800 lens. Camera and both adapter lenses for a seamless zoom range of 9mm to 735mm for less than 1/2 the price of that lens alone. An old saying strongly comes to mind. "A fool and his money are soon parted." You've all already seen the tack-sharp, CA-free fish-eye, to super-telephoto images (even when stacked with a +2 diopter closeup lens for a tele-macro configuration) with details resolved down to single pixels from my superzoom cameras. Remember the butterfly photo with its wing-scales resolved from 7-8 feet away? So don't bother with the usual "DSLR-Troll's Song and Dance" about better image quality, it doesn't get better than what I already have. Mention image quality and you'll only look like the fools that you are yet again. |

When you only need ISO100-200 on the superzoom for the focal-lengths required for sports and nature photographers, due to their much larger available aperture at those focal-lengths. Focal-lengths and apertures that you can't even get on any DSLR. So sad, for you. Try again, TROLL. |

Weren't you getting your daily nipple-suck of a glimpse of what that scary world outside of your mommy's basement must be like? Yep, that's exactly why. Now everyone can see why my methods are working perfectly, as planned. LOL! |
