I'm here, doing my once a year pop-in, to see if there is still a pulse.
I have to admit that as cameras have gotten better and better, the enjoyment factor has not kept up at all with the...

I'd actually like to buy a good used E-1 again, even if it's for nostalgia's sake. I had more fun with it than logic only can explain. I don't understand the decision that Olympus made to...

Those are some beautiful photographs and the bookmarks will be an welcome present that will appreciate with time. :)

Bump #2

Whatever did become of Tony? I agree that the decline set in when he sold this forum. I wonder what he's up to now? I hope he's not shooting with the latest Canon, or worse yet, the latest Sony....

I've moved on, back to Nikon, but I find it sad that the forum seems to be dead. It was such a "thing" once, ... full of possibilities and promise.

Good to have you here.

the only forum where I still frequent is Fredmiranda.com. I use to participate, and was a moderator at Photocamel.com a long while back, but it has gotten to where it is pretty much on life support....

Yes, this makes me sad. I was a forum moderator here, back in the day, and came up with the contests. I even had an official Olympus 4/3 hat, that Tony Spore, the original forum owner sent me,...

I've got darktable on one box, and have downloaded Raw therapee to give it a go. I tried Aftershot about two years ago ... and didn't get on with it. I kind of did not like the company, compared to...

What a time capsule this thread is. :)

I'm finding two things. The first part is just as Daniel has said, the "real" way is FAR superior. The other is that it really works very, very nicely but I find myself with best results at about...

Yup, exactly. Though I have long moved on from 4/3 myself, if it were not for the high cost of lenses for the system, I might pick up a body, even if just for old times sake. They work as well as...

Shouldn't Olympus rather just be Olympus? I value FF 35 very much, but Olympus planted its flag. It should stay behind it, with both the platforms disadvantages and advantages. There is too much...

The E-1 was the grand-dady of the movement. The E10 was a decent camera but it had a tiny sensor and the zoom lens was not detachable. The quality of the output had a LOT to be desired too, not at...

Had em all. As far as my humble opinion ergonomic wise: Canon sucks, Nikon rules ... olympus is pretty good with a few rough edges ... but I hold out great hope for the future. :)

Well life has changed much in the last year and a half. My fiancee and I are no more. :(. Good but sad. Well, more sad than good. I think of it as "life can be complicated and messy but each door...

So how's it going? I am happy in Nikon land ... but logged in to see how my old friends are doing. I do miss some aspects of Olympus but most of all the passion of belief that some of you gents...

I only know what I DON'T know - "Where is it?"!

Sob ... Sony Over Bearing ... I think it fits. :)

This poor quality translation got under my skin. There is something of the Sony arrogance in the plans that gets me. I mean they have to buy out...

Congradulations assfx! I thought that this months theme was particularly good in the variety of the submissions and the depth of the skills it showed. So many excellent shots!
Yours was a great...

Thanks Luke. Yes a wedding in the next while is the prime factor. A guy has to grow up sometimes and get down to priorities so that the big things get closer.

Gunnerx ... congrats on about what...

Jens, I thought I was more interesting before coffee. I've been drinking less and posting more ... just for your benefit. Better that a soap opera don't you agree.

The DOF issue is such that if...

:)

I'd like to announce a change in the monthly contest. It's a small one but should, I think have a big positive impact on the monthly contest.

Due to being overextended with commitments I...

Blueridgegirl, the 50 macro is a fine prime. It's not perfect because of the slow focus that macros have but that is only a marginal factor for some kinds of shooting. More of a weakness is the...
