I'm thinking you could also use a blue filter, like an 82A: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/22476-REG/Hoya_A5282A_52_mm_82A_Color.html People sometimes say polarisers are the only filter you...

As others have said, it's an easily solved problem. Other commenters already suggested some solutions. If you want more suggestions, search for some VF-2 threads. That viewfinder is expensive, and...

What do you mean, specifically, with the UWA comment? The 9-18 certainly is an UWA. I'm genuinely interested in the answer. I'm guessing you're after an UWA with some specific attribute (range,...

"Leica may sell up to 100 sets of S2 each month, probably to those who seldomly shoot photos."

So, when are you getting yours?

3systermuser: Do you have to post your Rodenstock endorsement in *every* subthread here? I think we got it after one or two times.

Also, you run risk of sounding like a shill if you keep parroting...

3systermuser:
Things can exist without you seeing them, you know. Especially when the entire market is something like 6000 new cameras a year. Since these cameras are kept for a long time, Leica...

For night work and especially stars f/1.8 will be handy or even necessary. For street shooting the much faster focus (and better manual focusing system) of the 17/1.8 will be beneficial. The 17/2.8...

Mostly these don't matter that much. The "R" next to some lenses means that they are updated versions of earlier lenses, but the updates are cosmetic so it doesn't really matter. ED stands for low...

I think it's great that they've added a "People Who Love Their Own Voices Forum".

Thank you! Thank you for this post! I was worried for a while that there was 0% sanity in this forum (5% sanity is OK). I wouldn't be surprised to see that there is more activity here than in those...

As other posters have shown, dirt on the front element is not a big issue. The only situation where I've heard it really matters is if you do macro shots with bellows. I also agree with the advice...

Plastek:
"That's a general thing - if you are really FORCED into using adapters for your photography - you most likely picked a wrong system for your needs and instead of toying - you should...

Or, maybe there's some obscure Olympus menu setting which needs to be set.

At least the E-3 had a vent in the handle, with a membrane protecting it. You could feel the air moving through it when you zoomed a sealed lens. How well it filtered moisture, I do not know. But...

I'm sorry to say that you're probably out of luck. While the focal lengths of the lenses would be somewhat good for M43, there are huge technical hurdles. You generally want external controls for...

I should say, explicitly, that I think you're going in the right direction. You have a humble attitude and you want to learn more - this will get you a long way. The fact that you used your...

This is a side note, and not very important, but: the article is about gain, but doesn't use that word. This is not very scientific, and I'm not at all convinced by the author's stated reasons for...

Yes, yes, above all this! Most of the technical discussion in these forums is irrelevant to good photography. Composition is the most important thing, and most other things are extras, especially...

It's good that that article was helpful to you. However, in order for the OP to have practical use for it, he would need to know the ISO behaviour of his camera. To find that out, he would have to...

It's from the old system: click the Four Thirds Lenses button. SWD means it has a ring-type motor for fast phase detect focus (which the M1 supports). The cost is something like 1000 + the required...
