Gonna try this over the weekend. Will report back if it works!
Jumping in because I feel that pain... finding a Nikon Z 7II 45.7MP Mirrorless Camera Body under 1500 is basically impossible lately. I tried hunting ...
To add to the point above: focus on how much you are actually gonna be walking. Tokyo is a marathon and a heavy lens will kill your vibe by day three....
Unfortunately, the Fujifilm XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 OIS II is your only real choice. Its slow f/6.7 aperture is disappointing:Poor light transmissionSlo...
Wait really?? Thats actually super helpful. I always thought it was the other way around.
Building on the earlier suggestion, I am actually in the exact same boat. Even after years of obsessing over MTF charts and tech specs, I still havent...

Ok so I did this same “leave-it-on prime” hunt after living on the 18–55… and I ended up happiest with 33mm-ish. TL;DR: I’d buy the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 D...
For your situation, I’d grab the Sigma 35mm F2 DG DN Contemporary (L-Mount) and call it a day. I’ve used it for city street stuff and it’s kinda the s...
> I’m looking for something that can handle the low light of a church without hunting for focus, but also something that produces that creamy bokeh fo...
