Cool, David. Always ready to listen to some updating info from a trusted old timer like me. Let us know how the E-M1X works with the SHGs so I can get a bit more amped about buying one myself.
...

Thanks for the reply, David. I see your entries from time to time around the various forums and always find I can rely on your well thought out opinions.

I have a ton of 4/3 gear kicking around...

Laingjd is correct. It will not fit. However, I would look around for a used 14-54mm (either version 1or 2) for less money. I really think it's a better lens than the 12-60mm. Best diffracted...

Still shooting with the E-5 and a full complement of SHG lenses. However, my current travel camera and every day shooter has tended to be a Stylus 1s, which is really an amazing little camera. ...

I still check in every once in a while. And yes, I am still using the trusty E-5 and full set of SHGs. So, not a lot of interest in downgrading to micro 4/3. I suppose I will have to eventually...

I still check in briefly every once and a while. Actually, there's nothing mysterious about it

1. Micro 4/3 was (and, frankly, continues to be) of very little interest to me.

2. Way too many...

Been a while since I posted a photo here. Last month, I thought I would break out the trusty little XZ-2 for some pano work, so I slapped on the skins and hiked up to the top of Mica Mountain. This...

Cool shots Daniel. I have some similar cow herd shots. CS^ is so good at stitching you can easily in most cases shoot non-still subjects like moving animals and waterfalls, and the blend mode...

I develop in OV3 then I photomerge in CS6. Elements is just as speedy and good for that as CS6. I shoot a LOT of landscape panoramas, and some of them turn out just beautiful IMHO, even using with...

If you are worried about max resolution for landscape work: remember, even with "only" 16MP, even a lowly hand-held 3-frame panorama shot in vertical mode (which I can develop from RAW and stitch in...

Hi Bill;

I shoot a lot of birds but it no secret around here that I am not a fan of the 50-200mm for birds, especially when using either TC. Your bird shots are about what you can expect from...

Given that, why don't you consider a stylus-1 as a longer term option? Glowing reviews, good lens, and enough reach. Cheap system overall!
...

Before I bought my ZD300mm, I tried using the 50-200mm-I with my EC-20. It is NOT a satisfactory combination for print or even the web in most cases for me. I guess it depends on your standards. ...

I am not understanding the issue or problem here. Why crop in camera and lose pixels at the time of capture, when you can simply print a portion of the capture as a 4x6? More flexibility and more...

I have no intention of moving on to m4/3. My E-5 is all the camera I need, and 4/3 glass is the best deal on the used market on a $$$/quality standpoint. That being said, however, if I was...

So, now I'm curious....What will happen when there is no one left on the forum NOT on Godfrey's ignore list? ;)

Two points, one in rebuttal to Godfrey's post:

1. The alleged doom and gloom was not why people abandoned the forum. People abandoned the forum because Olympus abandoned us. Plus, you know, all...

I suppose to each his/her own. I like landscape photography, and consider great post-processing part of the actual "art", if I even want to call it that.

Sadly, what is today passed off as...

Not to sound like a broken record, but I just can't get interested in any of the m4/3 stuff and chat. At all.

Olympus just seemed to have missed the boat in understanding that the vast majority...

I have developed a slight issue with my E-5 that drives me a bit crazy at times. I shoot almost entirely in A-priority mode.

What happens is that when I power up the camera, I may have it set...

Lawrence, it's also bundled right into the Viewer 3 menu bar.......

......oh, yeah, I forgot, you don't use V3 ;-))

Yes, there are cheaper versions, but not better or more versatile versions than the RF-11 setup. Remember, what you are buying is a truly dedicated flash system that contains a controller that also...

Just to clarify for the original poster: Only Olympus Studio and the ORIGINAL Olympus Viewer software will update the E-1 (it is the only Oly DSLR to require this). Master (any version) will not. ...

My sister found basically the same Best Buy deal as you did, Robert, except it came bundled with the 14-42mm II R for CAN$482.00. Then, I found her a 40-150mm R on special at Henry's for CAN$119, so...

I have no idea what the issue is with this site. I no problems posting on any other forum on any web address I have ever visited, except this one.

This forum is almost unusable for me. Running...
