    Micro 4/3 Debating the Olympus 75mm VS Sigma 56mm

    Hello. Spring is here and I'm having ideas of dog portraits in different areas, especially the low light ones like forest paths. I will use my Olympus 40-150mm f 2.8 PRO for action but I would like a faster lens for static and posing moments and achieve some shallow DoF. I can get that with the...

    Advice Wanted GX8?

    I've been thinking it's time to upgrade from my Olympus E-M1. I haven't really been paying attention to newer releases or what features come with them. I've been mainly focused on the Olympus E-M1mk2 and the Panasonic G9. They have the capabilities that I want and the current prices are nice. I...

    Micro 4/3 Why the Olympus 25mm 1.8

    Some of you know that over several years I had lots of Olympus lenses. Some lenses I sold a and bought it again. The 17mm 1.8 I tried many months but couldn't fall in love even it is a great lens. The Olympus 40-150mm f4-5.6 I bought three times and sold it after view month, the last one I sold...

    Micro 4/3 Is my Pana 14-140mm defective?

    I got a new (used) Panasonic 14-140mm superzoom travel lens for my ongoing travels in Asia. It's their second iteration of the lens with weather sealing. I noticed that, sometimes, the camera would give an indication that focus could not be achieved. At first, I thought the Pen-F's poor...

    I am going to travel for four weeks in Asia soon, and I intend to bring the Pen-F as my main camera. I find the ergonomics of the camera to be just so-so. The front is too flat and the knurled mode selector knob tends to dig into the skin. Looking at the existing grips that can be purchased...

    I have no chimney for Santa to drop down so I treated myself to a new lens. A tad over Ā£500 got me the Panny-Leica 42.5 f/1.2. I thought it a decent price as it was immaculate and 1/2 the brand new cost. Not had too many chances yet to get out and about to do some damage with it, but I am...

    I have the Gh6 and G9II. While the AF for birding is very good on the G9II, the Gh6 is a video beast - already a "professional video camera". All video markets are changing - and very quickly. It could be that Panasonic has done a futures evaluation of the imaging market and it has determined...
