Hall of Famer
This will be the thing that pushes me from m43, if anything does. Lack of ability to recover even minor blown highlights.
Using the 45/1.8 yesterday during some touring in the lovely weather, I took two shots of my wife. The EXIF is intact, but I'll give it here anyway: ISO 200, 1/640, F2.0 both shots. Both shot in RAW and run through Lightroom.
Conditions outside: perfect, blue skies (no clouds), pics done within 5 seconds of each other. Yet one is holding the highlights, and the other is blown. How can that be? As you can tell from the statue, all I did was shift over a couple of feet to try getting the statue in the background (turns out it didn't add much to the picture).
My question: how can the highlights be so blown in one, and OK in the other?
Rant: If I had shot this with my Canon DSLR, I could get those highlights back with a quick slider adjustments. The ORFs here are giving me nothing at all. I have one picture (shown here) with good highlights, and 5 or 6 (one example here) all with blown highlights. If only I had an assistant with a diffuser, lol.
All I can say is Grrrr...
