    Purchasing New OMD EM-10 - Need lens advise for "product photography"....

    Do you know Ming Thein's photography blog? It's excellent on all sorts of things, but he is an expert on product photography (watches in his case) and has written a multi-part piece on the subject. http://blog.mingthein.com/2012/03/05/watch-photography-part-one-introduction/ He likes and...

    Panasonic GX7 zone focusing question (street photography)

    Oh right! I've read about that feature, and it does sound really handy. Somehow I missed the "using the screen" part of the original question. But no matter, the GX1 model still holds as an example of good UI even without that feature. I'd go for a GX7 myself but now that I have the Oly VF4 for...

    If There Were No M4/3s...

    It's a good question for sure. For me, the main thing is a sort of low budget, and the fact that the Ricoh GR with 21mm lens is staying no matter what, and taking up a good chunk of that budget. I'm really loving the GR paired with M43 sub-flagship bodies and a few great primes. But if M43 had...

    Adapted Lens Image Thread

    EPL5 with Minolta MD 135 f3.5, which weighs a rather remarkable 275g before the adaptor. Various Minolta 135 f2.8 lenses are more sought after, so this one can often be had for a song. Two shots from a backyard at a moderate fstop, maybe 5.6? Just testing it out, really. What do you think...

    Panasonic GX7 zone focusing question (street photography)

    I don't know about the GX7, and I'm not a general Panny expert either, but I do have a GX1 and love it. It's pretty simple to move the pinpoint AF spot while using the EVF, so I assume it's just as easy with the GX7. With the GX1 you can simply press the dedicated focus button (left arrow) to...

    Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 Real World Review

    Thanks a lot for doing this piece, it's very informative. I only recently got a 45 f1.8, so I'm in not hurry to get anything else in this range. But with the new Panasonic coming, the subject certainly in in the air, so this is timely information. For me, what I see in these photos makes me...

    Ricoh GR

    I know what you mean about the Oly and Panasonic. I really like how you can set up the Panasonic to be AF with MF if you choose to turn the lens, and that view could be magnified or with a focus box. I don't think that slick move is exactly available with the GR. I also don't think you can...

    Does the E-M1 make the PL25 rattlesnake?

    I can't help you with that exact pairing but I did recently switch from a GX1 to an EPL5 and PL25. At first I heard only occasional minor rattling that didn't seem too weird. But then, sort of out of the blue, pretty extreme rattlesnaking. Loud. Not something I would want to put up with. Pretty...

    20 vs 25

    I'm debating the same thing. I have the 20 and have always liked it. But I'm thinking of selling it and getting the 25 for a couple of reasons, the first being that I don't really need the compactness of the 20 since I now use the Ricoh GR for street and to be the camera that's always on me. In...
