>>4379832Thats not how optics work. Exit pupil distance and ray angle relationships change, not light gathered. Also image space tele-centricity becomes possible, which is important for video fags.
>>4379877And thats not a better lens by a mile. No de clickable aperture ring, no internal silent focusing, no filter threads, and it vignettes 3 stops wide open.
Its about as good as the samyang remaster slim if you gave samyang nikons equipment for the sharpness bump. The actual optics in it are hilariously undersized.
Curiously both the 24 and 26 suffer from the same optical problem: they render flat, and don’t have sharp edges or corners at any aperture. Nikon should have made a 24mm f2.8 that was normal instead of a marketing stunt. They also should have copied fuji and leica instead of putting PASM on a retro camera, and added click/declick aperture rings instead of permanently declicked control rings. But if Nikon ever did what photographers think they should have, they wouldnt have ceded the #2 spot to sony and wouldnt be in the process of ceding the #3 spot to fuji. Now canon is adding aperture rings to their design language and is going to surprise drop an ae1 inspired retro camera with r6ii like guts and an aperture ring having f2.8 muffin lineup before 2028 and basically bitch slap nikon down to where olympus and panasonic live.
Don’t tell any rumors sites about the canon.
