Picked up some shutter release buttons and a Nikon 28/2.8 today.

COOL buttons. Are they friction fit?

They are threaded.

They are threaded.

So you have to remove the original one first? Do you find they are all the same thread size?

Fuji, Leica and old cameras have a shutter button that is threaded out of the box. It is designed for plunger type cable releases. A soft release button with the same threads can be screwed into the hole designed for the cable release.

If you have a non threaded release there are some stick on buttons you can add, I think Gariz makes some.

OK, Thanks. I have some older cameras with that cable release style button.

I think Samsung NX20 looks excellent with pancake lenses.

You're not partial to Olympus much, are you?

Not so much as you'd think from those kits

Ah, Just part of the story then?

How do you do that all black background?

Porn is an art. I meant, gear porn that is!

Every six months or so, my gear looks a little different. In April of this year, here's what I was shooting:

In the larger scheme of things, I am a fan of many companies (see disclosures in my sig). Juts happens that right now I'm finding the Olympus gear to be the best fit.

I shot them against a dark brown table and then used Nik Viveza to darken the table further.

How do you like the X-E1, Amin? It's only come to my attention recently when I was in a shop and saw one on display and it had a VF.

 

[TraamisVOS]

Ok I've just noticed in the forum that there is an X-E2 already.

Nevermind, I'm behind on some of these cameras.
