    Bugs Show 'Insect'

    I love the platyball. The one-handed adjustment works like a dream and the panorama is smooth as butter. I have the one with led leveller. Easy to set the tension just enough so you can move the camera after the subject but the camera stays in place if you let it go. It may take a.little...

    Bugs Show 'Insect'

    Experimenting with a new combination. Really irritating that the iso was still on 640 :-(. The short focal distance is just incredible (just over 1m i comparison to a FF (I am sure someone will dispute this :-D ) These photos taken using the PD travel tripod and Platyball Head. Single shot -...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    Finally, after watching these two products and their successful launches via kickstarter, I have invested in the Peak Design Travel Tripod and the Platypod Platyball Elite. The quality and usability certainly live up to the hype.

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO

    I agree, and together with the 12-100 I have found the perfect combination

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO

    The short focus range of the 40-150 + tc2.0 is SHORT rung 70cm. I compared this against a Nikon 600mm which had a focal distance of 440cm. In terms of quality this may not be up there with the best, but for me, weight, focal distance, and last, but certainly not least, the price!!! These...

    Micro 4/3 Showcase Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO

    I was thinking the same thing. Seems like this is the only thread for the 40-150. I also love this lens and have now treated myself to the TC2.0. It is another level, and light (well in comparison to the FF alternatives!) May as well spark some life back into this thread

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    First outing with the new 12-100 - LOVE IT. Sharp as a tack. And moving from the PL 12-60, that little bit extra (80mm) is just what I have been missing for photographing moving horses on x-country course (pics later). Couple of DOOC shots from today - No post processing.

    Finally got a response from them via their live chat - extremely helpful and the problem was sorted with a deal of apology from their side. All's well that ends well :-D

    Scenic A few shots from the Pennines in Northern England (and an ode to the Olympus 12-100)

    Thank you for sharing these. Convinces me even more that I have chosen the correct lense - 'almost' a shame it will be on a G9, but that shouldn't be a problem

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    I suppose it depends on what you need the extra length for. I take a lot of photos at horse competitions (dressage/showjumping/x-country) I think the extra 80mm is what I have been missing on a lot of my shoots with the PL12-60. I usually have the PL12-60 on one body and the Oly 40-150 on...

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    I took the plunge - switching my pl12-60 and pana 35-100. I have primes if I need the extra f. Still have time to back out if anyone has VERY legitimate reasons for doing to (other than weight)

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    I also have the 40-150 + x1.4tc. But I use that on a second body if I need it. Definitely leaning towards switching the 12-60 and 35-100 out for one lens

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    Thank you for your input (egg-laying wooly pig :-D ). I also have a few primes (60mm macro 25mm 45mm, but they are not relevent for this comparison ( :-) ). The only other area I would like some input on is anyone using the G9 - and would you miss the dual IS

    Micro 4/3 Olympus 12-100/4 Pro: Flexibility vs Portability

    I currently have the PL 12-60 f2.8/4.0 which is the lense mostly in use. I also have a Lumix 35-100 ii f2.8. Do you think that it would be a better trade in for the 12-100... The 35-100 has only ever been on the camera once or twice around the house/garden as I try to find a 'use' for it

    A bit of this and bit of that. The thing I found most distracting were the Pearls and the electricity box. Rubbish at PS and the only spherical paint brush I could find was the moon, so used this various sizes to tone down the pearls and add som bubbles
