If you switched to APS-C, your results with the Tamron 70-300mm really have no significance for Four Thirds users.

Lightroom 4.4, just released, has a profile for this jewel of a lens. I have not confirmed it yet but I expect this profile will eliminate the CA which SLRgear measured in the test.

Thanks to you both for this valuable information. I have the Micro Solutions Pro Guard screen for the E-M5 in an unopened package. I bought this in anticipation of buying the camera (but bought the...

There does not appear to be much choice for a screen protector specifically sized for the XZ-2. There is the GGS glass protector for the LX-5, which apparently fits the XZ-2. I favor the film type...

I have not had this difficulty.  My 10mm, 18.5mm, 10-30mm, and 30-110mm all snick into place without slack or excessive force.

My concern was that the 58mm 250D would be too heavy for the 10-30mm zoom. But maybe not. Here is a photo showing the 250D and the 18.5mm lens, which has 40.5mm threads on the front of the HB-N104...

Harry is right, but the Series VI is very close, at 41.3mm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_filter#Series_filters. That's why the Leica ELPRO VIa or VIb is such a good fit -- it is the...

You can't do better than the Leica ELPRO achromats. The older ones have Series 6 and Series 7 threads, and these can usually be found (with patience) on eBay for less than $20. I have a dozen in my...

Giuseppe,I like the atmospherics in your photos. The foggy day reminds me of one I spend walking to the Certosa monastery near Pavia. Is that where you are from?

You do know that blown highlights are white, don't you? Like the stuff on the driveway.

Just curious why this is such a big deal to you.  It was not a deal breaker for all of us who bought the RX100 knowing that it was not on the list of features. I have had a camera with editing --...

My 55-200VR weighs 11.9 oz on my digital scale. The FT-1 plus front and rear caps weighs 5.8 oz. That totals to 17.7 oz.

The detail, as with all shots with the RX100, is impressive. The highlights are blown, and that detracts from the image. I suggest you invoke HDR mode when confronted with a scene with snow and...

I have both the Nikkor 1 30-110mm and the Nikon VR 55-200mm on the FT-1. The latter combination weighs 503 g, or 18 oz. I decided against taking the longer lens when I was touring Latvia and...

I was able to replicate your results, and learned something in the process. At first I mistakenly selected the profile for the 10-30mm lens --  the slider did not behave as you described. But then...

There should be a Lightroom release candidate soon, then a new version which will add support for the V2. I hope the updated version will also add correction for the Nikkor 18.5mm.

I've ordered this hood, and eagerly await its arrival. The lens uses 40.5mm filters. Do these also fit the thread on the front of the hood?

It ought to be as good. It sets some sort of record for a macro lens, in having fourteen elements. I'm unaware of any other prime lens with as many.

I have a drawer full of  close-up lenses, purchased throughout the years. Mine are all two-element achromats, and they all seem to be of uniform excellence. Here are the weights of some that might...

I know you all are more interested in wide-open performance, but I wanted more depth of field than that for this view of the pool.poolside at Toscana Lake in Phoenix
