Een mooi verhaal van Roger Cicala van LensRental over technologische ontwikkelingen die geleidelijke verbetering kunnen brengen (evolutie) en ook baanbrekend kunnen zijn, maar dan meestal niet meteen succesvol.

Re: Disruption, innovation, and the future of photography
Een passage uit de conclusie:
History suggests two things pretty strongly. The first is that when change comes, people invested in the status quo (that would be us photographers, when discussing the photography market) have a strong desire to deny it. Things have never been better. There is no need for change. And this is a stupid change that nobody would ever want. Well, nobody who is serious about photography would want it.
Herkenbaar, ook hier op het forum.

Re: Disruption, innovation, and the future of photography
Inderdaad een briljant stuk.
"Third-party lenses
A second disruptive innovation, in my opinion, started around 2005 when Zeiss started marketing their very good lenses in SLR mounts. It may not seem like this was huge news; after all, manual focus prime lenses aren't the mainstay of many photographers' kit. But it was a big deal. The very best lens at certain focal lengths were no longer always the manufacturer's own lens. Now Sigma, Tamron, Voigtländer and Samyang, among others, make lenses that are nearly as good -- and sometimes better -- than the manufacturer's lenses, and sell them at a lower price.
......
It's not just me, a recent poll on one of the major camera forums showed more Canon owners shot the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 than the Canon 35mm f/1.4."
Wat ik wel een beetje jammer vind is dat hij bij zijn opsomming van heel vroege AF-ontwikkelingen die van Nikon in 1971 niet vermeldt, zie hieronder (derde foto van bovenaf).
