    Micro 4/3 Throwback kit

    I still keep an E-520 with a replacement split-image and microprism screen as my basic stabilized digital back for use with legacy film SLR glass. It's much more ergonomically balanced for that task than the Micro 4/3 bodies are, although I wish the sensor were better in low light. I just...

    Micro 4/3 Good inexpensive wide converter for Panasonic 14mm f2.5 lens

    Micro 4/3 ISO comparison: E-P5 versus E-PL2

    Ray Sachs brought the E-P1 into the conversation in the previous post - which I happened to quote within my post when I was specifically replying to it.

    Micro 4/3 ISO comparison: E-P5 versus E-PL2

    Yes but an E-P1 will focus much more slowly than an E-PL2, and a firmware upgrade on the E-PL2 will allow it to use the VF-4.

    Micro 4/3 ISO comparison: E-P5 versus E-PL2

    Well, there had to be some reason that the E-P5 body sells for about 4-5 times what the E-PL2 body sells for nowadays.
