THe major problem with the zeiss is the mustache distortion and the major problem with the nikon is the flare. I was out shooting with the nikon and the flare can really be a...

OK agreed-- I guess you would have to manually focus with aperture preview at the aperture you plan to shoot at then. -- http://markkayphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/1305161

The other approach is to focus at the max aperture 1.4 or 1.8 and then change the aperture to what you really want to shoot at. You have to make sure the camera is set so that as you re-press the...

I talked to two dealers and they said the D800s are starting to come in at a regular clip but the D800Es still very slow. One retailer said they have gotten a couple and over 25 on list. The other...

To take full advantage of the D800 24-70 IQ one has to use higher shutter speeds and/or use a tripod. So if most of my shooting involved the use of a tripod, I would go with the 24-70. IF your...

THe one issue that really bugs me using external flashes on the the micro 4/3 is the low shutter speed limit. THus, I would go for a flash that allows HSS so you can use as a fill with high shutter...

I have both and just coming back from a trip to Columbia where I only brought the 12mm. The 12mm has great advantage in some low light situations. F2 vs F4 can really make a difference. However,...

I wanted to add that I never owned the 14-42 and i would bet it might be similar in IQ to that lens. Perhaps I have a really good copy of the 14-45. I also had done some testing against the...

I have tried two of these lenses. In both cases, they are close at the wide end (compared to the 14-45mm) but the X lens is not as good as the tele end in terms of sharpness. This is unrelated to...

I ordered mine from adorama when the price was listed for 349.. so that is what i was charged.. In terms of shooting a cat... well i dont have one but there a lot around where i live. Going to...

I hope they fixed the problem too since the one i had gotten with a GF3 kit was not close to my 14-140 or 14-45mm so i returned it -- http://markkayphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/1305161

It shipped today!! -- http://markkayphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/1305161

I had a cc charge made today for the amount correlating with the 14-42mm X from adorama. This was my only open order with them ---Sept 2011... So maybe they are finally coming...

I have both and I have never even thought about this. I am out of town or else i would look at the boxes -- http://markkayphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/1305161

In my opinion (and I speculated on this earlier on), the release was delayed because of some problem in the production resulting in many of these lenses having problems. I had one of the first USA...

I had the 14-42mm X and I shot with and without the IS -- one of the early purchases right after release in USA as part of GF3 kit. I tested on my GH2. I never had blurry or double images but the...

Still availaable -- http://markkayphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/1305161

I have to say there are some images I have taken with the GX1 in AWB where the results were a bit disappointing..So i am happy to hear about the AWB fix
