... And he's not saying. No one in a camera store, nor the regional sales rep' knows what's coming from Olympus. If they did they could not say, at risk of being osticized from any future camera...

Nice locations and great scenes. These lanbdscapes are perfect subjects for the 8 mmm FE lens. It looks like you've cropped many of these to one side of the image, like in #2 of the photog...

Everyone here raves about the 35 mm f/3.5 macro lens, including me. Someone loaned me one for a few weeks when I was trying to decide which Olympus macro lens to buy. I really like the lens but...

Hi Collin, People are buying Olympus for all sorts of reasons. Some people even plan to use them as their primary camera for some time to come. These old dinosaurs, the E-5 and E-3, make good door...

Hi Will, You should take that barely used E-330 out of the box and go shoot with it. If not, sell it to me. :) Later this month I'll be using mine in the Caribbean in an Ikelite housing for...

Hi Paul, What, no grand nephews or nieces to give those cameras to? :) If you buy on ebay you already know how to sell. You can turn those cameras into cash for lenses if you want to simplify your...

Olympus America was out of stock on the E-5 a few weeks to a month or so ago. It was posted here then too so you can look for that thread to find the actuual time frame. They got them back in stock...

There will be a solar eclipse visible in Australia and the South Pacific later this week. Read the story for more...

Hi Paul, The E-330 had 4 1/2 stops more exposure. Given the same scene I would expect it to be overeexposed compared to the other two exposures, which you say were correct. Spot metering requires...

Roger found it in stock at B&H. I found it available from Samy's Camera in Los Angeles, CA for the usual price of $1700. It's listed as temptorarily out of stock at Bel Air Camera in Los Angeles,...

I think if Olympus or any camera company made the statement that Toshi Terada did and then didn't deliver, it would be at great expense to their credibility and the reliability of every other...

Yes, one of the above. I expect the next Pro DSLR to be announced soon. The E-5 was out of stock at most US retailers just a few weeks ago but was still available in Europe. Then soon it was...

Welcome Mr Smith, That's an interesting forum name you've chosen. Let's hope that Olympus doesn't go the way those other two giants went. ;-)

I saw the price on the Olympus site and was very tempted, but I have the 50 mm so I'm holding off. The 35 mm f/3.5 is a really fine lens. Very sharp macro images. It's a normal to short telephoto...

Yea..but only when you need money. Glad to see there are no hard fellings here. We all know it's just in jest. In my youth, whenever I got critical my father would say I was "the kettle calling the...

Hi Goblin, Thanks for the reply. I saw your thread last night while doing a search for max CF card sizes in the E-330 (unlimited). One thing that's much worse than a card that is slow in burst...

Hi Peter, Thanks for the reply. SanDisk seems to be everyone's favorite. The Extreme Pro is the top card for speed. No one is saying they have had problems with Lexar, AFAIK. The Lexar may have the...

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the info on your SD cards. I was wondering what you were using. The Patriot EP Pro series 32 GB class 10 UHS-1 cards are available at NewEgg.com computer supply in Whittier,...

Or at least a new way to ask an old question given the new choices in media cards. I really could use some input on brands and speeds of cards.

Post your latest series of shots using a particular method, style or subject. If you have a good trick, tell everyone about it. If you've got a new perspective with one of the many fine ZD lensess,...
