Andrew, it works well enough. Unless the lever gets bent in the camera or lens, which does happen. If it’s not too bad, the lens just is, say f/4 when it’s supposed to be f/5.6 or such, not a big deal....

Being British I love ironic humour; this posting and the one on the two large rival corporations make you the winner for best of 2012 competition. You mention Canon’s 200-400 with a wait of 2-3 years,...

Love your blog Roger. It’s some of the funniest reading on the web. Santa’s obviously pretty busy so I doubt that everything on your list will come through. Come the New Year I’m wondering who among...

You wrote 2009 for the announcement of the 200-400 but I didn’t find any mention of it before last year. I don’t even remember much rumors about it before – especially not as many as there are now...

Lots of fun! Amendment: Fuji also needs some more actual, physical lenses, not just a handful and a bunch of “roadmap” promises. And it might be out of character for Santa, but Fuji also could use a...

LOL! Love this! Hope you had a beautiful Christmas, Roger. Yours is one of my favorite blogs!

LOL good stuff! One nit: I disagree on Nikon’s aperture rings. I want them and everyone else to go back to aperture rings. I want my lenses to be usable on mirrorless via adapters and be future-proof...

If we want Santa to bring a present for Pentax, how about some actual customers? They’ve got great cameras using great Sony sensors with the K5 (ii), the only weather-sealed APS-C kit lens of anyone...

0.18 microns… Only six generations behind process used by Intel. 22nm would fit lot more functionality into pixel level circuitry on sensor. And I remember reading Sony using 65nm process. But then...

@Esa: A 22nm process will only help the digital circuitry; it won’t help much for analogue circuitry like the A/D converters on the sensor.

@Sigma: A while back they produced the Kodak FF DSLR with a Canon mount. If they’d do the same for their present Foveon DSLR, they might get a lot of business from unhappy Canon owners who have too...

Dear Santa, I have but one belated request for 2012: Please can you clone Roger, so we can enjoy even more of his articles? Happy New Year, and I hope 2013 is a great year for everyone!

That 4/3 ED 150/2 tele is a bit rich at $2,500 plus the cost of a 4/3 to M43 adapter. How about a 120/2.5 or a 150/2.8 in the $800 to $1,000 range? That would even fit under the tree.

Regarding the universal mount thing: why exactly did Adaptall go away?
