That's the power of the HDR Toning filter in Photoshop, with a couple of different black and white filters from Alien Skin's Exposure filter. It's not a straight up black and white shot, but then...

Panasonic doesn't offer up any real accessories the way it did for the LX3 and LX5. While the bayonet mount is still there, if you want to use it you're limited to aftermarket accessories. This ...

At least if I don't know anyone, they're like minded people I dont know. The problem with Google+ is that nobody really is on it in any serious way and the majoriy of people I know who are on it...

hopefully it's not on a boat :(

Based upon my previous experience with USPS international I generally know to double the expected waiting time vs other mail services e.g. UPS, FedEx, TNT, DHL, etc...

There are some people these days mounting iPads in picture frames due to the screens high resolution, high PPI count. 2048×1536 resolution with 264 pixels per inch, but it makes for an expensive...

Unfortunately you can't control what customs does, at its worst point with an item sent by FedEx, customs here almost sent the package back to the sender.

I'm aware USPS doesn't operate in my country, this is perhaps another reason why I choose UPS as it does operate in my country at least as far as getting the package to Sydney. I'm not aware of how...

I can see why your name is Detail Man :P I would have also gone with the 14 to 45 at the 45mm end.

It's all personal experiences I guess

It's interesting, I've read a lot of complaints about UPS internally. On the other hand I've had more issues, personally, with FedEx. FedEx are that anal with their paperwork that it almost always...

You would be correct, my own testing suggests that there is a marginal amount of dynamic range gained by using an all optical zoom combination to gain 150mm zoom equivalent vs. iZoom. iZoom...

A telephoto lens will be the least wide and therefore produce the lowest amount of barrel distortion, however you don't say what aperture your telephoto lenses are. You may well end up with more...

Actually, recently I ordered something from China at the same time as I ordered something from the US. China Post delivered quicker than USPS. I believed that USPS would be quicker like yourself,...

The thing here is that UPS is also handled by Australia Post here in Australia and yet I have no issues in tracking it. In fact UPS are so consistent with their routing and flight numbers that I...
