    Final retirement?

    This is Steve Noel's daughter. I thought I'd add a note on his last thread. On February 27th, Dad finally retired for good. His heart was tired and he wanted to go Home to heaven. We now have the great honor (and huge task) of curating his many photos. Thank you all for giving him such enjoyment...

    Micro 4/3 Lens recommendations, please

    Thank you all for your input. I got the Olympus OM-D E-M10 II. It came with the 14-42 lens. I got the Oly 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R lens. Still looking at prime lenses, but I'm in business. I appreciate everyone who took the time to share your experience. You all are great!

    I really want a decent EVF. No EVF was the other thing I didn't like about the GF5. I mostly use the EVF over the LCD. Oh, and I don't find dual I.S. necessary. Thanks for all your input! You have clarified several things for me.

    Micro 4/3 Lens recommendations, please

    I'm looking for a good, all-around camera solution. I was looking at smaller cameras because we travel a lot and I like reducing the bulk. My dad has an E-M5 that I have used a bit while visiting. I like the size of that line. My mom has a Lumix GF5 that feels a little small for my hands, but I...

    I am camera-less at the moment. For the quick trip we planned (full of teaching and other busyness), we planned to use our phone cameras for quick snaps. So everything got left behind.

    You give me a lot to think about. The Panasonic FZ1000 is interesting. It's larger than I was looking at going for a camera, but I like the specs on it. I may put that idea in the pot and stir it around.

    Thanks! I have been looking at this one or the 25mm as a possibility for the everyday carry lens. I had the 25mm on my camera in Botswana. It always worked well except for wildlife I couldn't get close to.

    I lost my camera and lenses in Africa when we couldn't get back because of the pandemic. A short trip turned into a permanent move. I'm looking to replace the lost camera with an Olympus OMD EM10 Mark II. Most of the cameras I'm looking at come with no lens or the stock 12-42mm lens that I'm not...

    SiJ 2017 - Day 31.

    I completely missed the last part of this challenge. Dealing with chronic Lyme Disease along with company and travel just didn't leave enough energy to finish here. I wish I could have. There are some amazing photos from the month. Thanks for letting me start, even if I didn't get to finish...

    SiJ 2017 - Day 19.

    We met someone at one of the small malls yesterday, and there were tables of African hand-made items set up. Among the items for sale were these brightly colored bracelets.

    SiJ 2017 - reflections on the middle third.

    I've missed 2 days, and posted late several times, but no "cheating" with equipment. . But I am enjoying the challenge of this. It has forced me to shoot daily, and that has been good for me. On days when I don't leave home, it forces me to get creative. I have really enjoyed seeing all the...

    SiJ 2017 - Day 17.

    Late again, and today all I shot was rubbish. This is the best of the lot, which isn't saying much. I can't seem to get decen shots of the birds with this camera and lens. Anyway, first thing in the morning, a laughing dove, baby myna (I think), and some kind of sparrow/lark/pitpit that I...
