I would avoid getting bogged down with a lot of equipment. I can't imagine you will need more than the two zooms, and the shorter one on the K-1 would probably be enough. Almost all shots will require substantial DOF, so fast primes wouldn't be a plus. Paul via phone > On Jul 18, 2017, at

IMHO, those emulated steps on top of the CVT are ludicrous. One of the biggest advantages (and the reasons why CVT was invented in the first place) is the stepless, smooth transmission. So, this "emulation" is undoing the benefit. And I know that Nissan and Honda (and a few others) are doing

Re: OT -Unexptected Good News from Subaru

Yes, dual clutch transmissions with two gear sets are terrific, but too expensive thus far for entry level or even midrange cars. The best ones, like those on the AMG-Mercedes premium vehicles, allow downshifts that skip a couple of ranges and do rev matching as you go into the lower gear.

Re: OT -Unexptected Good News from Subaru

I believe one of the benefits the makers of CVTs sought was increased mileage by tuning the engine/trans to operate in the optimum power range. However most people, use to the (gear) steps in an automatic find the constant acceleration to be unusual and to some unnerving, resulting in
