Adding a macro adapter (either tube or the MCON-P02) to the 45mm 1.8 turns that lens into a monster for me. I can't state enough just how much more versatile that lens becomes by simply shortening the MFD. I use it a ton. So yeah, I think I'd probably state my current collection is pretty...

The PL12-60 is no slouch either when it comes to MFD, but that looks like a fun kit!

Can't you swap the switch on olympus bodies with the 1-2 switch in settings? I don't know if the OG EM10 has such an ability, but maybe the power switch is faulty.

I was in the 90% range, so it was a simple setup. My E-M1.3, 75-300ii, sturdy tripod, iPad, OI Share, and a solar filter from a telescope my father-in-law just gave the kids. It was almost the perfect diameter, so some electrical tape secured it perfectly to the end of the lens hood. Not bad for...

You'd think if you're a prince, you'd have people that could help you with banking issues.

Curious what your take will be on the 150-600. It's a honker, but the range sure makes for a tempting proposition.

The camera that brought me into the world of M43!

Edge is a disaster. It runs the open source Chromium engine, and then MS managed to tack on so much stuff that it's too busy. And with as bad as MS is with trackers, you might as well just use Chrome. It's so bad that the free version of Outlook (as found in Windows 11), has over 700 trackers...

Under heavy load, my passively-cooled M2 MBA's CPU hits 105C. I'm guessing that's the ceiling before throttling occurs. I suppose it's impressive that it can continue to operate like that without any fan at all. Seems any modern chip is designed like this, where the ceiling is higher, and the...

Fortunately, Windows 11 is getting better from a stability/usability front, though MS really wants you to "try" to use Copilot. It's perhaps the biggest turn-off with Windows since 10 released--MS is shameless about shoving their services and their latest half-baked ideas in your face. It just...

As long as the connectors are there, you should be able to add a SATA drive, no problem. Fusion drives just merged spinning rust with PCIe storage, and the OS determined what files were stored where based on access needs. It was a decent solution to speed up performance before NVME storage...

I'm not the only one out for a stroll.

You can also just set a reminder in your favorite calendar app to renew/check your renewal.

I never thought anything of it using your actual name, as that's how it worked with that other site Amin ran. For a few seconds the cancellation had me wondering, but then I realized, "oh yeah, that Kevin. I'm sure there'll be an explanation shortly." My other thought was that Vertical Scope...

Looks more like Andy Reid than the Colonel!

Here where I live, they often flower too early and get frosted out. They flower, look great, then get turned to mush. One year at the old house, we got a really late freeze and it knocked the entire tree back 3 feet. That was an extra messy year!

Beautiful when flowering, messy as all get out. I had one at a previous house, and it clogged my gutters 3-4x a year with all the stuff it drops. Every year I vowed to cut it down, and then spring came and it redeemed itself.

Honestly, while the glossy black packaging looks cool, it’s more easily marred in storage, so it can lose that look pretty easily. I keep my boxes, but largely in case I ever ship the lens. If cheaper packaging keeps the costs down, I guess I’m all for it, so long as it serves its primary...

I think the box is on the seller, but those Priority boxes are flat rate. Probably easier than the random dimensions. More importantly, you sure you want to show the whole internets your name and address? Normally we gotta pay for that. ;)

I didn't stroll too far this evening, but I didn't have to!

I need to get this one for my kids to use. Then maybe I can have my 25mm 1.8 back. I held back on getting the 17 1.8 for a long time, but I've really taken to that lens.

As others mentioned, post away. As long as it's true to the topic, the photos are welcome! That's one amazing setup. I take it this isn't your first telescopic rodeo?

You should always have a prime or two of your favorite focal lengths for those low-light moments. Of course, I'm almost entirely a prime shooter anymore, so take that as you will. :D

Along a similar vein, I bought my older 2 kids ELP1 and ELP2 bodies for Christmas, and having fooled around with them, the output is still pretty darn good. DR isn't as great, and you won't get much crop value, sure, but you can still get really good images from each. The most noticeable issue...
