The battles between camera makers over the mirror-less camera market share have heated up much over the past twelve months. The war has become a full-scale one where brand-name makers compete over every aspect from camera size to optical performance of the lenses. The high velocity of the production of new cameras and lenses may be taken to mean that this market segment has grown to an sufficiently large size for a wider array of lenses. This is a good news especially for photographers who have a penchant for prime lenses.
The prime lenses have perfectly utilised the small size of these mirror-less machines. Two of the makers, Sigma and Ricoh, have produced their niche market mirror-less cameras fitted with a 28mm prime lens. DCwatch has published a comparison review for the DP1x, GF2 and GXR A12 28mm. If you are unsure about whether to choose the DP1x or GXR A12 28mm, or if the 28mm prime lens is tickling your fancy, go here for the Googlish translation. There are plenty of side-by-side shots for your close examination.
