I really like that. My only quibble is the "old" plane looks very modern to me; I was taught woodworking using wooden planes - the only metal part was the blade :-)

Nor I. It doesn't look like all that good a fit either from that image.

The later version is M-mount rather than L39 and has rangefinder coupling. The optical formula was unchanged.The original L39 version is probably the better option on a modern mirrorless camera as...

Isn't "Edit" working? (It's under "+ More options")

Ah, you've obviously never had a card go bad on you... and I hope you never will.Unfortunately I have, and following that experience I now never, ever have only one card available if carrying only...

Impressive. These are much better than I ever got from it on a Sony NEX.It's a cracking little lens - emphasis on little - and one of my all time favourites. If I ever succumb to X-trans (read: if...

Background: I often carry a camera "loose" in a coat pocket and always use a wrist strap, but I like to have the camera protected against minor knocks and abrasions when I'm out and about. In my...

I didn't buy a Zeiss 24 but I looked at many images from it; I bought the X100 instead of rather than in addition to the Zeiss.They are quite different lenses and I much prefer the "look" of the...

Indeed. When I bought the X100 originally it cost me about £700 for a grey market model with no Fuji warranty, but I always regarded it a bargain - and the lens alone was worth the cost in...

As is saying anything good about it. Please desist; discussion of the E-M5 in isolation is not appropriate in this forum.

Ignore the "A", that just defines the region. Outside the US it will be some other letter, "N" in my case for example.The numbers are always the same though - first digit year, second digit quarter...

Wow, now that's what I'd call indecision :-)John Bean [GMT]"Note: If pictures and physical have access, please in kind prevail, thank you for understand." - quotation from an ebay listing.

Yes, any improvement to the X100 MF would be most welcome. That said I've never had an issue with the AF of the X100; it works as well as any other CDAF system and while not as fast as some I've...

The X100 raw files are almost unbelievably good if you want to do any major changes to the tonality of the image. I have no personal experience of existing X-trans cameras but I have played a lot...

It's a great lens, I've used it on many cameras over the years. I have to ask though: did you do any corner corrections on the image you posted? I used it on non-Fuji APS-C digital cameras and...

Don't worry about it, I found it hard to take the OP at face value anyway. As for the "toyish" (not!) E-M5 - this simply isn't the right place to discuss it further :-)

I happen to agree, but I don't understand why your need for your others to support your opinion. This forum is not the place to discuss the merits (or otherwise) of the E-M5.

I always found the Sigma 30/2.8 to have well above average flare resistance when I used it on NEX Eric. I have never used the 19/2.8.My only problem was with its mechanics, particularly...
