That alone would allow weight to be reduced by a factor of 8. I'm not sure we can halve the size of sensors again and keep the same image quality.David Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590531184544289491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-26765711838311704532017-02-03T17:20:09.441+00:002017-02-03T17:20:09.441+00:00It would certainly fit fit the trend.

The idea of walking around with it and shooting it handheld was laughable.<br /><br />Given the advances of tiny and light lenses on mirrorless cameras, I would think that in a few years we will see something twice as small as what you have now.Russhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/karmagroovynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-54128659528818568432017-01-31T19:21:45.023+00:002017-01-31T19:21:45.023+00:00boioioioioing!boioioioioing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-41785201234908034602017-01-31T01:32:34.067+00:002017-01-31T01:32:34.067+00:00...

Can handle. <br />It seems unlikely to me that that the lens would spontaneously devevelop develop an "un-sharp" range.

It may be the best lens I own - as it should be, it's also by far the most expensive! Most shots are brilliantly sharp. I do find that a few shots are slightly soft, but I'm wondering if that's down to my focusing technique.David Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590531184544289491noreply@blogger.com
