Rangefinder or SLR is one question when considering the E-M10.2 vs the GX85 (GX80 and GX7 II in other parts of the world). They are different systems and yes the EVF is better on the Olympus. But they both have advantages. But you can easily put together a capable small system with either...

Welcome to the group

Let me clear up a few things here. The versions of Panasonic OIS were Mega and Power, they did not refer to whether the lens had a power zoom option. To the best of my knowledge there have been only two Panasonic lenses with "Power" zooms, the 14-42 and 45-175 PZ. All others are manual zoom...

Welcome to the group.

Welcome to the group, there are many of us here also on mu-43.

I took a professional photography certification program back in 2005 (2005 - 2007). One of the classes was to take a series of images to depict the senses. Here are the 5 original images and with extras that I turned into a story sketch. He had a lot of fun helping and that's his hand pointing.

My wife and I have actually had joint accounts since we started living together a little over 34 years ago. But as far as spending goes we like to say: "She's cheap, but not easy. I'm easy, but I'm not cheap." I often have to make her spend money on things she needs. Sometimes it's a...

Yes the KeyMission series seems particularly stupid to me, dud Nikon even have anything in the Action Cam market before? Personally the 24-85 and 25-500 really seemed like "Why Bother" and only made sense in a way to help spread out development costs. Those also would have been up against...

Same here with the range. I had a coupe versions of the Nikon 24-120s and the older 28-105. I considered getting the PanLeica trio, but decided on the PL8-18 and Oly 12-100 Pro. Think I'm going to be really tempted to trade my PL for the up coming 8-25 Pro if they can keep the size down, it's...

Nothing really exciting, but now I have a matched set of Think tank bags.

I now have the matched set.

This is also one of the reasons I REALLY like programming. Spell a variable wrong it doesn't matter as long as you spell it wrong all the time. If not or it's a procedural/reserved word the compiler will let you know.

It's a VERY ANNOYING trend in the business world. And the current state of things with MS Teams, Slack, etc has only made things worse.

I am SO tempted to edit this just for fun, but..... I really only edit my own words. (other than if a post needs to be "moderated", which is actually pretty rare here).

And a little side benefit of being a mod is I can edit my posts even when quoted. :cautious:

I do it all the time.

Agree on Nikon and Olympus, for me there are a lot of similarities in how they handle for me. There are things I like about Fuji, but other than "very briefly" owning an X-M1, I skipped other early X bodies. I started looking at them shortly after I got into m4/3, the m4/3 stuff just felt...

Have to agree with @agentlossing about early Fuji bodies feeling a bit light and hollow. It was the same with early Canon Rebel DSLRs. It's the main reason my first real SLR/DSLR was the D70, it just felt solid by comparison. Maybe that's why Classic Chrome is the only film simulation I...

I have the 14mm, 15mm, 20mm, and 25mm (PLv1). The 14mm and 20mm are my "really small bag" kit with my Pen F. I actually bought a thinner lens cap for the 20mm so the combo would fit in my National Geographic NG 1153. A manual zoom LX100 with the on/off tied to the lens like the X#0 series...

I did the same, J5 with this thread and Q-S1 with the Symposium. Luckily for me, my logical/rational brain kicks in and I do this comparison: I already have the P14mm so...

The E-M5.3 is much more a smaller E-M1.2 than a seal Pen F. The Pen F is more a non sealed E-M5.2 with a 20mp pixel sensor. When you say the E-M1.2 feels faster are you saying faster than the E-M5.3 felt or faster than your Pen F feels? The AF system in the E-M5.3 is closely related to...

If I were buying just one and only having one camera I would probably opt for the E-M5.3 since I also value compactness and only have a couple bigger lenses. If on the other hand I had either a bigger or smaller other body that would impact my decision. Great grip and great battery (for a...

I did keep the Think Tank Speed Changer V2.0. At 0.6 its just so light it was hard to get rid of it. I also kept the Domke F-9, but that's a tall / smaller bag that is tall enough to hold the E-M1.2 with the 12-100 or 70-300 mounted.

So Bobby I have discipline and self control. I sold off the Timbuk2 and ONA Bowery, now I have a Retro 4 on order. 2 for 1 isn't too bad.

OK, the Retro 7M is here. I do wish the seller had included the original package, paperwork, and tags attached. But it does seem unused. There was another one in Texas that would have been a little less, but I've had VERY bad experiences with the USPS in Texas recently so..... I do like the...

Welcome Jens, you will find there are several of us here that split time between here and MU-43.

Well I have a "new" Retro 7M on the way, $95.50 with tax. This seller bought the package deal from B&H, thought about using it, but already had something similar. I'll update when I get it.

I've looked at the Shibata a few times, but finding them for sale? Where did you find one?

So B&H has offered me a discount on the 7M ($140) or I can try ebay where it's even less.

@MoonMind, @Bobby Tingle, @mnhoj So the plot thickens. According to Think Tank the 7M was in fact a special B&H version. I was waiting for more information from B&H that does not seem to have come (or I missed it and deleted it out my junk email). It does still have the tuck away...

Terribly sorry to hear about your loss and sorry I didn't notice this post sooner. Cancer sucks. Hour by hour, day by day is all we can do. Remembering those that have past is important. Sometimes doing things we use to share helps us remember the good times better.

https://cameraderie.org/resources/categories/documents.2/ Done (deleted when linked/related)

A spreadsheet of camera bag dimensions, exterior / interior / weight (some) so I figure out if any new bag is bigger/smaller than x bag I already have.

I'm not how other than linking to a google drive file (or something like that). But I'd rather not, knowing me I forget and delete the file or "re-organize" and break the link. @Kevin ?

I posted this a while back over on the mu-4/3 site, but it doesn't look like I ever posted it here so :oops: : https://cameraderie.org/threads/camera-bag-dimensions.51801/

OK so I'm a little OCD, I admit it. But after years of looking for "the perfect bag" I started keeping a spreadsheet of sizes so I figure out if the new bag was bigger/smaller than x bag I had. I currently have 7 bags; two aren't really used as camera bags: Domke J-810, I use it as a travel...

I finally got in touch with someone at B&H. It seems that the 7M is actually a v1.0 with the wrong images.

Anyone familiar with this variation? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1528019-REG/think_tank_photo_754108_retrospective_7m_shoulder_bag.html vs https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1430983-REG/think_tank_photo_710731_retrospective_7_v_2_0.html The images look like they are actually...

Welcome to the club.

She's sitting next to me.

Yes I hate those "it will fit a 70-200* -- *unmounted" I owned a Retro 5 vI a while back. Weight of the 7 is one of the things that's making me hesitate. The Pilot is 0.75lbs / 0.5kg lighter. @Bobby Tingle I've been tempted to get the Retro 4, but I already have the Bowery and a Think Tank...

@mnhoj / @Bobby Tingle What do you typically carry in it?

One thing I like about bags like the Retro (and others) is the Velco PLUS the secure zipper / buckle closure. The Pilot doesn't have a two stage closure, the Trooper does. it also takes about a month to get bags from Wotancraft. It probably makes a lot more sense to get the Retro. I had...

I had a Trooper medium at one point, but it was way too big and I sold it. It was way too big. The Pilot seems to have a larger opening than Trooper small. another reason the Retro is appealing.

Quick question for anyone that has used either. Think Tank Retrospective 7 II or Wotancraft Pilot 7L? I want to carry the E-M1.2 + O12-100 + O75-300 + PL8-18 I'd actually like something a little smaller, but I don't thinks these will fit in a Retrospective 5. They would probably fit in the...

If I were still in the Fuji camp I would be interested. It does fill a hole most systems have options to fill, there's a big gap between the 50-230mm and 100-400mm. I could see an X100v as a weather sealed option (and filling the small carry camera) paired with the X-S10 + 10-24 / 16-80 /...

My first digital camera was a Pentax Optio 330.

Interesting challenge, but the closest i could come to it would be my Pen F with a 9mm bcl or the Pan 14mm.

So on to what did I learn with this Si challenge? COVID and my new work schedule made this infinitely more challenging than last January's Vision 2020 challenge. For me the schedule had the larger impact. I also have to say shooting the 12-45 on my E-M1.2 has had me thinking whether or not I...
