I thought I had read it and I double checked the GF5 is listed with enhanced effects and they list dynamic monochrome as one of them. So, dynamic B&W may live again :). -- terry www.terrybanet.com

Marla - I'm sorry, but you may think the m4/3 is a compromise but you are a self proclaimed rbid fan of shallow DOF. I on the other hand might have chosen m3/4 to have deeper DOF for landscapes and...

Flower does look nice but the min focus distance will probably be a little bit limiting on this sort of shot without a bunch of cropping. -- terry www.terrybanet.com

I thought both sets of shooters liked the cropped sensor to get more reach. D800 solves that with an ability to crop down. A 16mp FF doesn't really help you that much. -- terry www.terrybanet.com

Again - you were talking about the 4/3 line and so am I. Bringing lens corrections into the equation is changing the subject and talking about a whole different range of lenses. Yes but not...

This is where I completely disagree. There are plenty of people on this forum and all over that can afford full frame or who have owned full frame and don't want full frame. Full frame is not the...

Yes, those are the ones I'm using. Point is it is dumb to make someone annoyed every time they pick up a product. -- terry www.terrybanet.com

But this way of thinking completely misses the reason that the majority of m4/3 people are here. It wasn't to save money - APSc has been cheaper since the beginning. THE PEOPLE HERE DON'T WANT...

Jogger once again let's tie this to real life. If I'm trying to take a picture in a dark place like a school auditorium and I have an f5.6 FF lens and a f2.8 m4/3 lens and I need a high shutter...

Well they want to remain independent and want to raise capital so there goes pricing. -- terry www.terrybanet.com

I bought the rumor was $100 less at $799

I expect on a $900 prime to get a hood. -- terry www.terrybanet.com

Been waiting for the lens but for $900 I can't believe once again the hood is optional. Come on!

I would assume if you use the OVF you are using zone focus or hyperfocal and if you want to go precise you use the EVF or LCD.

The specs look great. Well thought out and useful! http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/05/24/Fujifilm-M-mount-adapter-for-X-Pro1 -- terry www.terrybanet.com

Very interesting specs!

Exactly. That is why some street shooters love the Ricoh GRD's - no worries on DOF being too shallow for most shots. -- terry www.terrybanet.com

Did it ever ocurr to you that you don't need to know this to understand how to work a camera and to make good art? It does nothing to enhance your photograpic "vision". Or more on point that most...

Neither of those alarm me, especially the first. I don't know many camera lens combos that would handle them much better. If you know of other samples that would outperform those, would love to see...

Not exactly the most environmentally friendly thing either. -- terry www.terrybanet.com
