Portraits and lenses ... - goran h - 08-30-2016
For most of us here photography is a hobby, and (at least for me) a bobby MUST BE FUN. I love fast primes and use them mainly for environment portraits. - But do I get better photos with those fast lenses? - I think so as they give more possibilities and they are just FUN to use.
And about head portraits - they can be very boring, and there are even more boring examples than those above (I just visited a terrible exhibition). However head portrait can be great. As example I love some photos of Hans Gedda - htttp://hansgedda.com/ - Nelson Mandela, Andy Warhol etc. But I agree, you often don´t need super lenses for those studio portraits.

Quote:Well, I am not sure in how far I can discuss his situation here in the forum. Besides some private stuff, he was employee representative for a company. The latter just ended along with the company itself. Thus I have hope that he will be able to join the club after his current vacation - otherwise I will do Nikon again.
We have always been a part-time gang. Full-time PZ is not an option financially.
I was not trying to squeeze information about Markus' whereabouts out of you, it was more meant as kind of ironic comment to our roles in industrial brainwash (with which I agree). One of the great things at PZ is, that you don't emit video streams for more internet blabla ("internet = superconductor of stupidity" I heard an IT guy saying).
And before you doing Nikon again, I just want to throw in, I'd appreciate very much testing the complete Fujinons (not the kit-lenses) before going into this spectacular conservative manufacturer's portfolio.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this statement.
The only Fuji lens that hasn't been reviewed by PZ so far is the 100-400. That's quite a feat, thanks Klaus for the effort

Sure?
XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR (as mentioned)
XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR
XF23mmF2 R WR
Touit 50/2.8 macro (and if it's just about the differences to the Fuji macro)
And the 16 Samyangs I simply don't consider.
But you are right, the big majority is reviewed. Somehow the Fuji site gave me the impression there are more lenses available. :wub:

Klaus, if there is such strong demand for portraits you may collaborate with Matt Granger. After all you are in the same city.

I already have photobucket account, will it work ?

The 100-400mm will be out tomorrow.
The 23mm f/2 is certainly NOT available yet.
The 18-135mm and Touit Macro - yeah.
But I'm afraid that I have to entertain the Sony folks later in September.

I think you are clearly overestimating the financial and time budget on which we are operating ... ;-)

Maybe so, but Photozone would get “a leg up†if you linked up with Matt (formerly known as That Nikon Guy) Granger.
I have a lot of respect for him.
