Or it would not allow them to design the lens as they want to. A linear motor requires a small and light lens group that does the focusing, which of course means you have to design the optics within that limitation.
I can't see why they would prioritize AF speed for the GF system at all. What are you gonna shoot that needs super fast AF, very shallow DOF and extremely high image quality?
No offense, but you seem to find flaws and problems with everything, even when there is no competition and no equivalent alternatives. What's the point with that? ...Show more →
Well I thought the objective was to get more FF users to MF. Older medium format guys (or gals) would have said, why you need more than 1 AF point (or why even need AF), or why one needs IBIS or for that matter why needs eye AF. GF 80mm f1.7 is one small light lens. Adding LM would have made it focus faster. Look Canon 50mm f1.2 vs say Sony new 50mm f1.2 GM. That new GM lens is small, light, got bunch of linear motors, focusses like crazy. Sony is making lighter, smaller lenses which focus fast at the same time. Why one needs that, then one doesn't tell the model, "hold your pose, hold, just a bit longer, oh, I didn't get it, can we repeat it please". It is one more thing to make your shooting experience better. If you paying all this money, why not. I get all this MF being a slow movement thing, I do when shooting landscapes but for the case where one camera will be used for different genres, having fast AF is just as important as other things.
Or it maybe it is just that we Americans like to complain for anything. Honestly during Fuji's live event I was shouting like I was at the college football game. Wife heard that while sleeping and she is what happened. I was so happy about new 20-35mm zoom, TSE lens and 50mm f1.7. Fuji is doing great things, but can do some things better. That's all.
