    Spambot in seller feedback?

    I notice we've gotten a new @VSAdmin recently, (R.I.P. Kyle and Li) so I'm bumping this thread to see if we can get any traction on this almost four months on. - K

    what photography related item did you buy this week?

    Some 3D printed accoutrements arrived this weekend to turn my Olympus Air A01 into an Air 007... Still not sure I'll be brave (or foolish?) enough to try shooting with this kit in public. - K

    Autism Awareness Month: special Interests and my autistic photography life

    I'm sorry to imply that we're all of us on the autistic spectrum; I didn't mean to dismiss anyone's experience. I was only trying to push back on the implication that ASD is somehow being over-diagnosed. If anything, I believe it almost certainly remains under-diagnosed in children. I know...

    Autism Awareness Month: special Interests and my autistic photography life

    I want to push back on your use of the term "normal behaviour", as that implies those who have a diagnosis are "abnormal" which is certainly not the case. In terms of over-diagnosis, my thinking is that it's much more likely that these traits/conditions were greatly under-diagnosed in the past...

    Bags and more bags

    I did a bit of looking around and couldn't find any active sites dedicated to camera bags. There's a site called CameraBagsDatabase.com that is extremely basic. It lets you put in the measurements of your camera and it lists bags that fit it. It appears to have only about 30 bags in its...

    Bags and more bags

    I shared this over at Cameraderie, but figured there might be an audience for it here as well. I've compiled a bunch of camera bag dimensions into an Excel spreadsheet to ease the task of comparing some new bag to some known bag. It's mostly just the structured data at this point, but there's...

    The Male Dominated Industry and Female Belittlement

    Feedback requested on new M43 resource

    I'm starting to turn my attention to documenting the M43 lens catalog. The first steps in doing so are to create a list of lenses and to develop a framework of what information each individual lens article should include. To that end, I've started a couple of articles that I'd love to get some...

    Spambot in seller feedback?

    So it seems that @VSAdmin cleaned up almost half of the feedback spam on my account after selflessly offering to do so. After expending that much effort he was apparently exhausted and figured that a job half done was well good enough for who it was for. It seems that the account of at least...

    Wrist Strap Users - what do you do when you need your hands free?

    If you're talking about a typical wrist strap (like the PD cuff or a Gordy's leather wrist cord, etc) then I'm fine with letting the camera dangle for a few seconds, like if I need to open a door. Anything more than that, and I'll set it back in the bag. I think I've tried just about every...

    what photography related item did you buy this week?

    For my upcoming trip I've used a bit of gaffers tape to cover the terminals of each of the spare batteries I'm bringing, and they'll all be tucked away securely in cases or pouches in my carry-on backpack. I think this should satisfy the FAA requirements. Thanks for sharing the info. - K I think

    Panasonic 8mm fisheye on Olympus body?

    I've never heard of the "purple blob" issue impacting the Panasonic fisheye, only the 7-14 f/4. But I don't have any experience with either of the M43 AF fisheyes. Never really felt the need since I almost never need to touch the focus ring on the Samyang 7.5mm. - K

    Ineresting ideas for OMDS

    I agree with some of this guy's basic premise, but I definitely don't know enough about OMDS's sales figures and projections to know whether streamlining their offerings is the right way to go. Getting rid of the E-M10 and E-M5 lines which I would guess account for a good deal of their sales...

    mapcamera on ebay - highly recommended

    Re: buying camera gear from Japan.

    Why so much spam and why does it take so long to be deleted?

    The integrity of the B&S feedback feature has already been breached, with exceedingly little sense of urgency on fixing it from management. My guess (and it might be as much projection) is that the volume of spam hasn't much changed, but what's changed is the speed at which it's dealt with. It...

    E-M1 Firmware update questions

    There shouldn't be any issue with your camera's firmware and a new laptop. There have been a few firmware updates since v4.1, but depending on what accessories/lenses and features you use, you might not see any benefit from updating. Either way, there's no reason to think your switch from PC to...

    Olympus battery compatibility table

    You're correct that the STF-22 and SFF-11 were both introduced in the Four Thirds era. And your info about the various lens compatibilities of these flashes also appears to be accurate. I believe the STF-8's introduction coincided with that of the E-M1.2 and I found a source that indicated...

    Olympus battery compatibility table

    I agree it makes little logical sense to me that some models should be listed as compatible with BLS-1, BLS-5 and BLS-50, while others are shown to use only one or two of those. I suspect that Michael is likely correct that they're all cross-compatible, but as I don't have a selection of these...

    Olympus battery compatibility table

    Logically, yes. Chronologically, no. The E-M10.3s was introduced after the E-M10.4. But, I think the logical order probably makes more sense, particularly given that I've placed the E-M1X after the E-M1.3 despite that not being the proper chronological order. So I've made this change. - K

    Olympus battery compatibility table

    I've added an Olympus battery compatibility table to the TakenWithM43 wiki, following the creation of a similar table for Panasonic batteries. This information is a bit easier to come by for Olympus than Panasonic since Olympus/OMDS publishes a similar table, but it makes an easy way to see...

    Thanks for pointing out that spec. It seems they list is only for their "professional" cameras. I've added this spec to the E-M1.2, E-M1.3 and E-M1X, which are the only models I've found so far where shutter durability is listed. :thumbup: Thanks for the mini-review. I've stubbornly stuck to...

    Panasonic battery compatibility table

    You're right, Claude that the BLE9 is the battery from the G3. Interesting that it won't fit in your GX85 (which comes with a BLG10), but that the BLE9 will fit in Tim's GX9 (which also comes with a BLG10). Strange that the battery compartment wouldn't be identical on two bodies that ship with...

    Panasonic battery compatibility table

    Good catch. I've corrected that link. I've added this backward compatibility. Again, I wonder if it extends to the other models that use the BLG10. My guess is that it probably does. I would also guess that the BLE9 would work in the GX85 as Tim pointed out above for the GX9. Charger...
