LETTER OF THE WEEK

system I was keenly

anticipating your article

‘Best lenses for your

mirrorless systems’ (13

June issue) but found it

quite disappointing. Whilst

best lenses were identifi ed

for Canon, Nikon, Sony,

Fujifi lm, Olympus and

Panasonic systems, what

happened to Leica? Does

Leica not have mirrorless

systems incorporating the

SL or SL2 cameras with a

range of matching

lenses? It would have been

interesting to see which

lenses would have been

suggested for that system.

Similarly Zeiss did not even

get a mention. I would

have thought that some of

its lenses might just have

outperformed those of the

major camera

manufacturers. Pentax too

didn’t merit a mention. It is

not that the article was

bad, more that it could

have been more all-

embracing and covered

every mirrorless camera

system available for

purchase in the UK.

Ken Bradley

This feature covered the

best lenses for all of the

current systems, aside

from Hasselblad medium

format. Leica was

included as part of the

L-Mount Alliance, which

we covered briefl y on the

Panasonic page. Pentax

does not have a

mirrorless system, and

neither does Zeiss, but

the lovely Zeiss Batis

40mm F2 CF was one of

our top three picks for

Sony full-frame users.

Inspired by my X100V

Having recently given my

much unloved Canon EOS

M3 to my wife I was

inspired by Michael

Topham’s glowing review

(AP 24 April) to splash out

on a Fujifi lm X100V as my

new compact camera.

Having exclusively used

Canon cameras for the

past 15 years I have the

The one that got away

Anglers are known for their

frequent tales of woe

about ‘the one that got

away’ which makes me

wonder if any

photographers are

prepared to admit to their

missed chances.

In my case, and in the

days of fi lm, I had to stop to

reload while a motor race

at Silverstone was in full

fl ow. Sure enough, before

the new fi lm was in place

and the camera back was

closed there was an

almighty shunt right in

front of me involving fi ve

cars. Fortunately, nobody

was hurt, but prides were

badly dented including my

own that such an action-

packed scene unfolded

without a single shot being

taken. My lesson thereafter

was to have two loaded

cameras and to wait until

reload timings were better

controlled.

Digital cameras certainly

have cut the chances of

missed opportunities but

I wonder how many fellow

AP readers have similar

tales? Barry Trent
