Agreed.

I attempted to make the switch from Canon to Sony when the new A series were released last year, but they are functionally awful cameras.

Canons are comfy as fuck. I do want to try an X Pro II, although only as a small carry camera, I could never switch over my main gear to it.

Fuji and Ricoh shooters are the jpegfags and they're the opposite of summer. Poorly edited Canon raw files like your pic related are summerfag.

I'd rather have an xpro2, a 16-55, a pancake, and a 56mm. Better high iso performance, better file latitude, better lenses.

Your decisions are your own though, I'm sure you have a good reason for needing a DSLR, like taking photos at anime conventions.

And I didn't make this thread. DSLR form factor obviously has certain size limitations. A 5D with 70-200 is going to. E a lot more obtrusive than a small mirror less.

Well, if you own a sports car it's generally smart to have a practical secondary vehicle for Daily Driving.

Hahahahaha

Yeah, no. This only really applies to the existence of tilt/shift lenses and other specialty optics, on which adapting them to another system is rarely a big deal; many of them don't have autofocus in the first place.

The majority of Canon's lenses are updates for updates sake (if not a completely lateral upgrade in the first place as is often the case), or different speeds for $$$'s sake.

One cannot entirely fault Canon for this behavior. Photography is a large portion of Canon's corporate existence, and as such their continued existence relies on them continuing to try to make as much money from equipment as possible, including selling a lens with a $20 production cost for $300.
The companies you traditionally think of as only having 1 or 2 lenses per focal length tend to be the companies to whom photography equipment is a passion market more than bread and butter. Fuji and Pentax are not depending on their income from your consumer photo gear to float them. They have no reason to optimize their marketshare to exploit daft consumerism and update-chasing.

Unfortunately most Canon users are too deeply stuck in consumerist habits to fully understand their role in this and will instinctively interpret any conversation about different corporate goals like this as shitting on their babe. For these, you simply nod and say their 50mm 1.2 is quite impressive.

Nice to see you've never ran a business before, or don't know how businesses work. If each lens didn't serve a purpose, they wouldn't make them. It is more optimal from a business standpoint to streamline as that will help alleviate huge R&D costs. Canon produces what the market will bear particularly with their professionals gear. Deal with it.

They do serve a purpose. They target different consumer demographics.

They just don't serve photographically seperate purposes. They're mostly treated as tiers of status/value. 50mm 1.8 is for plebs and rebel owners, 50mm 1.4 is for budget-concious prosumers, 50mm 1.2 is for "Certified Portrait Society Of America Badge" "professionals" and anyone else that can pay the price for it, typically the less budget-concious prosumers.

Different purposes? Yeah dude, I bet you use that 1.2 so much differently. :^)

>R&D costs
This is such an incredible non-point towards the specific example of 50mms. Not a whole lot of new research and development going on for our swamp-standard fiddies.

What they have in common is that none of them are sharp at their wide, advertised aperture. 1.8 gets sharp at 4, 1.4 gets sharp at f/2.8, 1.2 gets sharp at 1.8.

It's the greatest con game in the history of 50mm lenses.

I don't want to pay the price of the 1.2, I didn't even want to pay the price of the 1.4; that's why I bought it used when I saw it for $100.

I also don't need the 1.2 or want the weight of it.

Why would I use a semi-truck when I can do the same work with a pickup?

I'm not upset with anything especially not being called "budget conscious," which I am.

I just found it stupid to imply that either of the lower Canon 50mm weren't sufficient or that the 1.2 is necessary for great portraits.

I don't know how you could have possibly read that implication in what I said at all.

This is humorous because it's a noted truity that mirrorless makes most people shoot more often. DSLR owners predominantly fall into the "I only take my camera with me when I'm planning to take photos" category on /p/.

Your sentence seems like a great put-down when your personal context and history has yet to surpass the "new DSLR owner" phase, but it just seems incredibly cringey to anyone that knows that...yeah, mirrorless usually makes people shoot more because "this is neat!"

In my experience, the only people that can't wrap their heads around it are people that've only ever used a DSLR. It's not much of a leap of logic to assume insecurity and buyer's remorse might play a role. :^)

Gearfags are naturally attracted to the manufacturer with the widest selection, that being Canon.

Consumers are what made Canon into what it is, they should appeal to them.

There's also a lot of things appealing to people that actually take pictures, though.

It seems that you're denouncing them because of the thought process of others that happen to use the same brand.

Canon's lens catalog is THE reason to shoot Canon. They've been updating so frequently in order to support 50mp and higher sensors. They've always been good, but their latest glass = best glass.

Did you miss this?
>"One cannot entirely fault Canon for this behavior. Photography is a large portion of Canon's corporate existence, and as such their continued existence relies on them continuing to try to make as much money from equipment as possible, including selling a lens with a $20 production cost for $300.
The companies you traditionally think of as only having 1 or 2 lenses per focal length tend to be the companies to whom photography equipment is a passion market more than bread and butter. Fuji and Pentax are not depending on their income from your consumer photo gear to float them. They have no reason to optimize their marketshare to exploit daft consumerism and update-chasing."
Or did you just not have the attention span to understand it?

Nah. Only DSLR users that have never actually used other systems have your attitude, that's all. It's really easily spotted when you've been around a while.
Not all DSLR users are baby-backed bitches, plenty of people swap back to them for sports or long-term battery needs. All DSLR users that find Mirrorless threatening enough to swat in the air at are, without fail, entry-level DSLR users (or former ones, there's always the Rebel-to-1D guy)

I carried a pro SLR and lenses (D1x then D2x) for ten years. Now I have an OMD, and the whole kit with body, lenses and a carbon fiber tripod weigh less than my old 80-200 f/2.8. It was so much more convenient that after a week with the Olympus, I sold my Nikon gear and have never looked back.

You can switch. Sell off your nonessential gear, use the funds to buy a body with a lens (doesn't even have to be a modern AF lens) and just practice using it while you aren't doing serious photos. Once you're comfortable, pawn off the rest of your shit and go in balls deep.

Go check dxo, canon lenses have fallen wayyyy behind, sony are the only oem to really dominate there. As for sony primes; 28,35,35,50,50,55,90 already covered directly by sony, 20 & 135 have been announced, 10,12,15,40,65 by voigtlander, 18,25,85 zeiss batis, 21,35,50,85 zeiss loxia, 14,50 samyang.

They're just the full frame primes that have been designed around the fe mount (hence no long list of other samyang stuff). Not to mention how the new gm zooms shit all over their canon counterparts.

Oh, and we have ibis.

Well, the problem here is that photography is not a hobby for me, but my dayjob and only source of income. so there's no 'nonessential' gear that I don't use daily and 'not doing serious photos' is not an option since if I don't maintain a certain level of quality, then I don't have a job.
But I do have an access to Sony a7r with SEL2470Z and SEL55F18Z and I take it to less important shoots. Thing is, I'm doing it for months and the results are still far worse than what I have with my old 5dm2, even when the technical quality is far better.
I tend to think that digital viewfinder is the main reason for that, but I haven't got my hands on any mirrorless camera with optical viewfinder yet to prove that.
