I know, you love your gear. Go on, love it!
I select gear meeting my needs and preferences, I don't love it. I never hesitate a second to get rid of a piece of equipment if I think something better I can afford is available. Don't be surprised if you see me write about how great I think Sony is in a few months.
But please stop bashing other gears. It's not necessary.
That is just your perception. Stressing the fact that Nikon and Canon have made different design choices in terms of the rendering of their lenses isn't bashing Canon. Many photographers must like the neutral rendering Canon went for otherwise they wouldn't be shooting with Canon cameras and lenses.
I would probably be pissed as a Nikon body owner if I preferred such a neutral look because that is definitely not what Nikon went for with their recent lens releases.
Do I find Canon boring? Yes I do. I used to lust for the Canon 1Ds and to regret not be able to afford one at the time. I am disappointed that Canon stopped pushing the bar forward. As a potential owner of their equipment. I am selfishly sad for myself not to have another alternative. And I think that Canon owners should continue to pressure their provider of equipment of choice to move their ass instead of defending their lukewarmess (not talking about you and I know many Canon customer did just that).
I have personnally never hesitated to stress how blind Nikon has been not to move faster in the mirrorless segment.
"Or could you please share some examples how boring the canon lenses are?"...
I don't use Canon cameras and lenses but I know a lot of very good
photographers using them, some create a special look, some make ordinary photography.
But nobody's secret is the gear they use.........
Never said it was. And I do also know many excellent photographers shooting Canon, although many of them are now using Sony bodies with their canon lenses.
But I just don't think that all lenses are the same, that we live in a great equalitarian world where nothing differs. If anything, I am a Ken Wilber fan boy, in case you are familiar with his writings. And it is a fact that Nikon and Canon lenses are not performing the same way. And I believe it is perfectly legitimate to have preferences. Is it a deal breaker? Probably not, but I think that it does nonetheless matter enough to take the time to share my views about it (and believe me, I have a long list of things to do).
I don't use Hasselblad H cameras and lenses but I know a lot of very good
photographers using them, some create a ......
... but this is all out of topic
I really wish ZEISS back in MF or Sigma first time in MF....
...or Rodenstock in MF DSLR! And I like the look of the Zeiss 40 mm IF, it's one of my favourite lenses...
Agreed. I used to own a copy of the 40mm IF and loved it too. I should have kept it btw.
I also shoot with an Arca equiped with the Rodenstock 23, 40 and 90mm and would indeed love to see them propose SLR lenses too, although I find this very unlikely.
Cheers,
