“R10 plus the 100-400mm f5.6-f8 looks like a fantastic starting point to wildlife photography!”— @PhotoReactionVideos on YouTube
“the R10 feels more like a real camera than the toyish R50”— @areasevenpro on YouTube
“I would definitely lean R7 for the weather sealing, IBIS, headphone jack, and dual SD card slots.”— @danieldougan269 on YouTube
“The Viltrox 27mmf1.2 is around that focal length and is quite great.”— ninjagowoo on Reddit
“Viltrox 27mmf1.2 pro. sharpness on par with the new xf23mmf1.4. The only downside is the size and weight(600g), it weighs more than XT5. It is cheaper than original modern primes but offers same quality.”— MYFAILEDMID on Reddit
“I felt 27 (40 equivalent) was not wide enough for indoor/easily framing multiple people, making 23 more versatile + the lens would be much heavier and I knew I would never use it because of that.”— Fino831 on Reddit
