For me, for serious work, the EVF is a deal-breaker. The potential of Olympus going EVF-only in their next "pro" offering was what caused me to jump ship. The build quality on the GX7 must be...

The GX7 looks pretty amazing, but it's really overkill for my purposes and that doesn't even consider that it is going to be $800 more than I paid for the GX1!

Sweet!!! My initial impression of the MM was that it was kind of silly, but after seeing what the M8 produces in native b&w, I've better come to understand what the MM is all about. I'm sticking...

Thanks! And I'd probably grab one if I could get it for what I paid for the GX1! :D

Hi everyone! Well... I'm sorta back. A little. In m4/3rds. With a mega p&s.

I continue to be thrilled and amazed with my digi M-Leicas, but there are times when I just don't want to take them...

Hey, and it even has a film rewind knob... how cool is that! <grin>

EVF= price point camera. They're cheaper to produce which leads to a better profit margin even at a reduced list price. They're a smart move for manufacturers looking to increase their bottom...

I'll let you borrow one of mine. I had Enzo and Viktor drop me off a six pack of them last month. You never know when you might need one around the house, and I'm too lazy to have to go too far to...

Nothing paranoid about that at all. With the electronic cameras and auto-focus motor-driven lenses, I always had the entire lens range covered twice (usually the second setup was less expensive, but...

Ramon, there's much true in your perspective and I agree with most of it. Doing this as a business, though, brings in some different issues. When you invest in a system, there are certain lenses...

I've said several times that EVFs aren't a useful development for me. I don't like anything about them and for a variety of reasons. I was perfectly content with 4/3rds until Olympus wrote its...

Spectacular Jim! I got to visit in '06 and only part of the peak was visible. Thanks for showing me what I missed!

Lawrence, there is a LOT of Alice-themed work out there now. It's quite popular actually. You won't run into copyright issues unless you actually use Disney-copyrighted materials in your shoot. ...

Lawrence, "The Great Google" (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) has come through again. According to AliceinWonderland.net the copyright has expired on all things Alice.

Good luck...

Knowing when NOT to accept a job is the true hallmark of a pro, Lawrence. You did well. You may have been disappointed, but you don't have a disappointed client.



Sounds like card issues to...

Interesting, Don. I frequently use blown highlights consciously to isolate my subject from an otherwise distracting background. I find the endless debate on dynamic range and blown highlights...

I looked at the whole series on your Flickr account. Over-all I like them. I like the framing, DOF and generally the way you shot them, but I can make some suggestions. Are you shooting the car,...

I was one of the last 4/3rds holdouts to liquidate. I wanted smaller, lighter equipment and the mirrorless m4/3 just doesn't do it for me. Obviously Canikon pro gear wasn't the answer either, and I...

<grin> No, nostalgia has never been something I indulge in much. My first "car" was a twenty-year-old 1950 Ford F1 with a granny first and no synchros. I loved my FJ-40 LandCruisers, but my FJ...

Again, Tom, I'm not saying it would be desirable. Greg's timelapse videos are amazing. Birding with a 1200mm lens has got to be a challenge, and I certainly understand the challenges you're facing...

What did you do when film was pushed at ISO 800? Were you making usable images? I will concede that shooting long, small aperture zooms may be the exception as I've only had the occasion to do that...

Interesting observations, John. I think that there are a number of factors that have come into play... some photographers are demanding specific things that the equipment needs to do perfectly,...

Absolutely! Try telling that to a fanboi is... well... a waste of breath!

Frankly ergonometrics, ease of handling, and work flow are significantly more important to me than slight differences in...

Brian I confess that I know absolutely nothing about skiing, but I recently read an article about Stephan Kruckenhauser... de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Kruckenhauser - Translator who was THE...

Or, I guess you could say the the 2012 4/3rds CMOS sensor finally caught up to the 2009 Kodak CCD M9 sensor? Because as is pointed out above, the M-E is an M9 without a frame preview lever or micro...
