I'm no street photography artist, nor an artist of any kind(despite the deviantart account), but there are some technical aspects of focal lengths that make shooting with different FLs at same FoV...

I'm not a full expert, but the math for primes is simple enough... fstops are a ratio, the max aperture is determined by the focal length divided by the diameter of the front element. You can also...

When I installed LR5 after LR4 (leaving 4 on, since 5 is just beta) I didn't reinstall NiK, and they show up in 5. Then again, 5 kept some of my custom processing settings as well, so maybe it only...

Agreed, I really like the last one, though light from the side into the eyes is a personal favorite, so I may be biased :D

Wasn't it specifically the MP that made the difference I thought? The D7100 has 24MP sensor, so it may fare better. As for the third lens... isn't 16-35 a 8-17mm in m43? Wouldn't that be better...

One of the reasons to use the 45mm, as I often read, is that if doing a head and shoulders shot, the FoV the 45mm gives is the minimum you should use, as it is the shortest length that doesn't...

Could be size, or manufacturing simplification. Everything you add adds size, the wifi, the GPS, assorted antennas, etc. For Instance, the iPhone 5 on VZW has LTE, but unlike other LTE phones,...

It does, thanks all for the responses!

Mainly, a question on whether the image quality of the 14-140mm was significantly higher, then it would make sense to use it. I doubt this is so, but I wanted to make certain.

I'm probably reaching here... but it's possible it means something like shutter IS, maybe for the half pressed IS? Though why that would be mentioned again when they mentioned the half press and...

I have a trip to NYC coming up, and I plan to rent a 14-1x0mm lens as a possible walk around lens. I have the OMD, is there any reason to get the 14-140mm Panny lens over the 14-150mm Oly?

It has built in WIFI, so a card wouldn't be necessary. I believe the XZ10 has it, so you can find out info on it. In fact, here, have a video !

EPL1 has it also, it's nothing new. Horrible shot is horrible!

Yeah, $448 is the "normal" price I'm used to, but I got mine at $300 when it was priced at that a few months ago. At $300 I think it's a stellar deal, at $350 pretty good, but I don't think I'd pay...

I use the OMD and the 25mm, but the rattlesnaking isn't a really bad thing, it only happens when you point the camera at various light sources and the camera stops down the aperture to protect the...

Huh? Where are you seeing such an expensive price? LX7 has been regularly selling for $300-360 new for a while, with occasional spikes to ~$450. Current amazon price: $359 (and one at $348).

Well, technically, it's a homophone to the word death. Warning: TMI Japanese language info ahead:Most Japanese words have a Chinese(on-yomi) and Japanese(kun-yomi) reading.The on-yomi for 4 is shi,...

Yep, that is a really lovely shot. The shallow DoF does help. Likewise, I'd like to develop the skill to make the decisions consciously as well. I've never been heavily artistic, more technical, so...

Well diffusion doesn't instantly kill an image, and some lenses (mostly the slower telephotos) still increase resolution stopping down, even from 6.3 to 8.0 on the 75-300mm. Plus part of the whole...

Your understanding of the optics is correct, it seems the way I worded it confused you as to what I was saying. The test I'm referring to only tested wide open, then 2.8, then 4.0. At 1.4, it was...
