Great, if you like zooms
2 of 3 found this helpful This is a better-than-expected zoom lens and I might give it five stars except that I don't really like zooms. Have always preferred to work with a combination of 21mm and 85mm lenses, skipping the "normal" focal lengths in between, but sometimes you have to bow to reality (at birthday parties, graduations, etc.) where friends and family just want normal. I use the 18-55mm on a Fuji X-e3 and must admit that the image-stabilization, which Fuji's fixed-length lenses lack, can come in handy. Autofocus is quick and accurate. Feels a bit heavy on that small camera body but no more so than the fastest prime lenses in the lineup.

Lumix S1 gets it right
The S1 is big and heavy, as mirrorless cameras go -- reminds me of the Leica M5 that I had a long love/hate relationship with. But the big, bright electronic viewfinder -- nearly twice as many dots as other brands I've used --makes it worth lugging around. As I favor manual focus, this viewfinder makes all the difference in the world. Other pluses: a multitude of well-thought-out and logically placed dials and buttons, meaning less need to dive into menus to make simple chnages; professional, easily customizable picture styles; and of course the high-resolution mode, which I have yet to try out. All in all, the first digital camera I've owned that feels like a real camera, rather than a toy invented by a committee of nerds.

Konica Hexanon 50mm f2.4 ltm
This is a limited-edition lens Konica issued in the 1990s as a kind of fond tribute to vintage Leica rangefinder lenses. In my opinion it is just as well made as the originals -- solid, smooth and precise -- and optically superior, thanks to more modern optics and coatings. I was concerned that f2.4 might be too slow, but in practice that has not yet been a problem. I'm not obsessed with sharpness per se, but it is plenty sharp stopped down. Not obsessed with bokeh, either, but at 2.8 the out-of-focus areas are so beautiful, much like the vastly more expensive Hexanon 60mm 1.2, that it's a real incentive to shoot portraits wide open. I have paired the Hexanon 50 with a Ricoh GR 28mm, another fine specialty lens from the 90s, and they work perfectly together. Both take 40.5mm filters, both have the focus tabs that old Leica fans appreciate. Thus far I have used them only on a Zeiss Ikon film rangefinder, using thread-mount to M-mount adapters. Eventually will try them on my Sony A7 to get some idea of their digital usefulness.
