Is it that hard to copy Canon and Nikon?
>>
>>4368032
Bro! How's the job at IHOP going? Have you made that perfect pancake you've always dreamed of?
>>
Because canon and nikon both have huge design compromises on their pancakes, and it probably takes a lot of time to outdo that with what little R&D money would get allocated to such a niche product (an optical body cap).

Sony makes professional cameras for the full frame space. Pancakes are not professional lenses. Canon and nikons pancakes definitely are not professional lenses. Focus motor noise, external focusing (and the associated focal length breathing), and not even having filter threads like the nikon, are all no-gos for professional equipment. PROFESSIONAL cameras are meant to do both stills and video on demand no matter the situation. All FF pancakes thus far have been "hobbyist" lenses, stills only, street photography, sells to 5 people none of whom matter.

For your reference they already have several pancakes, including a pancake zoom, for APS-C and the smallest weather sealed full frame zoom so they don't really have a huge market to fill.

nooo it has to be because of e mount so sony is fundamentally le bad! dont you get it!? THE CAMERA IS BROKEN BY DESI-
>E mount can support lenses as fast a f0.63
>samyang remaster slim is 10mm shorter than niggor z pancake and vignettes 3 stops
>niggor z pancake vignettes 3 stops
>therefore there is room for the glass, just not the autofocus system (same problem nikon had)
>sony 50mm f1.2 gm vignettes less than canon rf 50mm f1.2 l
oh wait, e-mount isnt broken by design.

until then canikon boomers can enjoy putting small shitty lenses on their big nice bodies. your camera might be twice the size of an a7cr but at least the super shitty lens that goes bzzzzz is 1/3" shorter rite boys?

>>canon pancake: shit
One of the sharpest lenses they have made to date.
>>
>>4368073
Just because a lens is sharp doesn't mean it's good. Video is an absolute no unless you stop recording before doing a focus pull or crop by about 1.5x between min and max focus distance and use an external mic. Exposure to harsh conditions is an absolute no. At least it's $270.

Nikon somehow did even worse despite everyone wishing they would modernize the 24mm f2.8D. No, nikon thought, they already have the baby butt soft all-plastic 28mm, why would we do that.

>>4368074
The nikon 26 is negligibly shorter than the 28 if you want filter threads and for the tiny focusing group to be kept safe

joke of a lens mount unless you exclusively buy professional glass (and indeed little else is even made of glass). welcome to the 2024 camera market outside of fujifilm.

I find the shape of a full frame DSLR with a good pancake easier to pack in my hiking or travel kit and carry on neck than a mirrorless camera with a hefty chunk of glass. Good pancakes (they exist, but I'm gatekeeping) have their place.

Nothing strange about it. DSLR+pancake is a very practical travel and hiking setup. You gain significantly more battery life (to the point of being able to pack just one spare battery, if even, for multi-day trips off grid), great robustness, reliability, and an OVF.
If I want to travel as light as possible with have regular opportunity to recharge then I carry a GR. If that's not so much of an issue but I still want a decently packable setup, I take DSLR+pancake. Simple as.

OVFs are worse than EVFs unless you are using a prismless WLVF like a hasselblad. They lose too much light and resolution to be more useful otherwise and even then DOF preview above f8 (on a hasselblad!) is still useless.

I can make a mirrorless with actual bad battery life like an om-5 last a week. Sony cameras last even longer.

They do it for free. And yet, there's photo and video evidence of ancient third and second gen bodies putting up with hours of rain without complaints. The same conditions keep killing brand new X-T5s

Statistically one olympus that dies from being wet is the same as about 11 sony cameras meeting the same fate. About half that rate for fuji, which reflects really poorly on fuji all things considered. I wonder if the hysterical, frantic sony hate /p/ gets spammed with 24/7 might have to do with covering up for fuji's disproportionately bad failings? Or perhaps panasonic. Sony gets a lot of hate, but panasonics extremely prolific issues like gh5 shutter+ibis failures and s5ii battery drain basically aren't mentioned. What is mentioned is "buy a fuji" and "buy a panasonic".

If sony had the recall and AF performance/shadow banding fiascos nikon did, /p/ would never shut up about it. Instead nikons are recommended as "real photographic tools" (by teenagers that just shoot the roof of their apartment complex).

Very strange.

You were talking about size, not the other merits of a DSLR, and that image anon posted showed that even your smallest DSLR and pancake combo is still larger than a mirrorless setup.
>I find the shape of a full frame DSLR with a good pancake easier to pack in my hiking or travel kit and carry on neck than a mirrorless camera with a hefty chunk of glass
>>
>>4368152
OVFs are a massive downgrade in general. Some stand out, specifically ones for formats larger than 35mm, but they're still not entirely as useful for photography as an EVF. They're just pretty.

A ground glass or a magnified WLVF/chimney finder lets you manually focus with pure precision without any stupid microprism aids, just your eyeballs, that's a great OVF. Such OVFs never made it to DSLRs. DSLRs get these really fuzzy viewfinders on the assumption that they will only be used with autofocus.
>>
>>4368196
If more digital cameras were optical rangefinders it would be cool. DSLRs do suck. Oversized and designed for professional (all snapshits no art) sports and news photography.

Originally most of us also disliked sony. Between clive and that om-5 shill, it's getting easier and easier to like it.

I don't even have a sony and I've been calling these shill on their bullshit, and in the process, discovering sony actually makes small, fun, capable cameras that stomp all over nikon and are better for raw IQ than canon. After a few rounds of clive-isms i've basically accepted that sony is just the best if their artificial cripple hammering of video and sports centric features doesn't bother you.

>Is it that hard to copy Canon and Nikon?
It's just simple physics. Canon and Nikon have better designed larger mirrorless lens mount that were made recently, the Sony is too small.
>>
>>4368236
But that cant be true. The samyang remaster slim is smaller than and vignettes as much as the nikon pancake and sony’s professional 50mm vignettes less than canon’s. Sony’s f1.4 lenses are also the same size as and optically superior to the nikon z f1.8s. A badly designed mount doesnt result in this.

If the samyang slim were the same length as the canon or nikon pancake and contained real lens elements it would likely be better. Sony probably wont release a cope lens until they figure out non-buzzing internal or rear focusing pancake lenses that can actually be used for video.
>>
>>4368194
It is larger than that particular setup, yes. But let's make a more apples-to-apples comparison with pic rel.
The direct mirrorless+lens equivalent to the DSLR in this case is still longer, and not much lighter.
>>
>>4368256
And even more equivalent would be something like this. All I'm trying to say is that pancakes have a place. This not a controversial or groundbreaking statement. If somebody would come out with a pancake as short as pic rel for mirrorless, then god bless, you may have an ideal FF ILC travel setup if battery life isn't a concern.
>>
>>4368256
Now equip the r5 with the 28.

>>4368262
>>4368256
Canon is notorious for their MILCs being DSLR sized, due to their primary audience being journos who use huge zooms anyways. The ergonomic loss to them would be unacceptable. The average paying canon customer is paid to hold a camera up for the duration of an NFL game.

Sony is legitimately the funnest brand. Every button does exactly what you want.

>heckin hate roundabouts
They're easy, just don't buy a Snoy
>>
>>4369095
Yes, laws of physics. All current FF mirrorless mounts are too shallow to make a pancake that does not focus externally. Unless sony can magic up a special nanotech optical group that corrects the focus breathing inherent to this there's no chance they will release a pancake. There's no chance of sony releasing any more lenses that literally can not be used for video because some ricecel is angry about a 10mm difference between the canon 28mm and the samyang 35mm f2.8
>>
>>4369102
Sounds like a skill issue
>>
>>4369105
The samyang also has lots of focus breathing. The reason no one is releasing "serious" small lenses past an initial dump of beginner kit anymore is because the optics needed to correct this flaw, which makes an ILC less suited to shooting video than a fucking phone, is to add more glass than can fit in anything compact.

The actual tech advantage of the Z mount is the ability to make a lens that's image space telecentric and does not breathe. It's just that no one noticed because nikon bodies don't do good video. It's not about lens speed or pancakes. Sony can theoretically make an f0.6something lens, the actual tech flaws of E mount are the inability to make a telecentric lens and the inability to bring a lens' exit pupil too close to the sensor (like leica's vintage symmetrical UWA primes).

Of course, your average anti-snoy shill has an IQ score between 85 and 95 so they don't get stuff like this. You were probably already looking for meds.jpg in pictures\homework\dontclick\4chan because most of the words I used must seem made up to you. If they did not you'd be smart enough focus on the actual, serious, unfixable technical flaws that sony has persistently refused to fix instead of myths like weather sealing and color science. You'd be making multiple threads about star eater instead of something childish and irrelevant like sony not releasing a buzzy toy lens and you'd be posting the classic "vignetting correction setting fucked my raw file" rainbow instead of crying about made up weather sealing shit.

You simply don't know what you're talking about at any point and are most likely not intelligent enough to go beyond your repetitive subjects. I mean, really, if you were, you'd also be hating on canon in equal amounts (such buggy unreliable cameras) and shilling the fuck out of the nikon zf and leica m11p.

Because he can't read at an adult level and unironically thinks it is the flagship sony pancake lens. Sometimes, I think he just can't read at all. OP is the same guy who keeps posting a sony some saar dropped in the ocean and saying its from a leaky battery.

He's exactly in the market segment that wants pancake lenses for giant FF cameras despite the ricoh gr, fuji and m43 already existing and having much better compact kit than any buzzy canikon. But, not, because due to his low IQ he does not have sufficient disposable income for a lumix gm1 and 20mm f1.7 pancake.

This post is correct.

Samyang and viltrox already proved a pancake is possible. It would just suck as much as nikon's.

Nikon has THE largest mount, and their pancake is unusable garbage. Go on. Pay NIGGOR $500 for their "pancake" and see how you get on if you actually deserve a Z series camera and aren't a misplaced gearfagging d750 peasant who only shoots building corners

YOU CAN NOT SHOOT VIDEO OR ACTION WITH THAT LENS
>action, with a wide angle!? uhhh f11 zone focus
Not the look that professionals are doing anymore. f11 WA shots are boomer flickr shit - and phone shit. WA and bokeh is in. Dynamic scenes, WAs, and bokeh are in. Again, I said if you deserve a Z body and aren't a misplaced gearfagging d750 user... Z bodies are professional video and action cameras. If you only shoot corners and cats please stay the fuck off mirrorless and get on a DSLR so we dont get more awful releases like the Z 26mm. I am still sing the plastic shit 28mm with no WR and a rain cover because the 26mm is that bad,
