試玩 Canon 6D MarkII = 失望再失望
今日上左SHOWROOM把最新的 CANON 6D MARKII 試玩了半小時. 失望, 基本上是難以用來表達我離開SHOWROOM時的心情. 試問這4年來相機的技術已經翻了幾翻, 但6D MARK II 的SPEC竟與上一代 6D(2013年的科技)的差不多, 實在是難以說服自己入手. 我沒法理解CANON廠方的想法, 等了4年只是換來一些小修改, 作為用家, 這與侮辱無疑. 4年前, 6D是的我作為全幅的入門機, 是叫做認認真真學影相的重要一步. 作為6D的前用家, 它過去的確給我不少快樂的攝影體驗. 直到今天, 我都認為6D的SPEC是可用的, 尤其作為全幅入門機: (1) 像素雖少, 但一般使用是足夠的, 不放大, […]
Sony 鏡頭: E-mount 與 A-mount 之間
不時都會在網上看到關於新鏡與老鏡之間的討論 最近的一篇標題是 “The Death of Beautiful Rendition and 3D Pop on Modern Lenses” (https://photographylife.com/the-death-of-beautiful-rendition-and-3d-pop-on-modern-lenses) 文章大致認為新款鏡因為著重銳利度及修正光學上的瑕疵, 所以在設計時加入越來越多的透鏡. 銳利度雖然有所提升, 但因為每多加一塊透鏡都會令整體的入光率下降, 最後令成象變得「平坦」, 缺乏 「3D POP 」的感覺 .「3D POP 」、「平坦」什至「空氣感」等等其實都是難以用客觀的儀器去量度得來的, 所以當中有很大程度的個人喜好及主觀成份. 老鏡新鏡我都有使用過, 基本上各有優點, 沒有衝突的.
