I have their 40mm f2. It's one of my favorite lenses. It competes among the Ls.  Tom

This is sage advice. I must add one thing. Never, Never delete anything from the original cards on which you shot the wedding (or any shoot for that matter) until every images is in the computer,...

I'm inclinde to ask why would you want to, but if you do it's easy. Use a crappy kit lens. Set your camera on auto. Never use a hood. Let your lens get a little dusty on the front element. have no...

Mint, like new Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 lens in box with Case, pouch and caps. Super sharp and fast. I'm scaling back my m4/3.   $1,150 shipped including paypal. Thanks Tom

Olympus HDL-6 in almost new condition. There's no scratches, dents or marks. There is signs of use on the black rubber grip that I show in one of the photos. I had to light this just right to even...

I do not think it's the lens, just that this lens has a narrower angle of approach so it show here. Look a how the shutter variable change the outcome. I'd bet it's a bouncing second curtain/blade...

Not retro at all, but I make my own strap out of 3/8 nylon webbing and attach it with these great clips from op-tech. They will work for attaching any thin...

I'm not sure where you are, but in the USA it's Panasonic that's MIA. By the time we get a reasonable supply of Panasonic M43 it's already old enough that its being discounted. The GX1 was only in...

I do go below 2.8, often, but it's more for the extra speed than because I'm looking for shallow DOF, Which is often pretty hard to discern at 24mm anyway. I'm thinking the IS would be just as...

I am currently using both a 24LII f1.4 and a TSE 24 II. 24mm is a lens that suits me perfectly. But I found since I have the TS-E lens I almost never use my the f1.4. The 1.4 is a truly amazing...

I've had none of those problems.  Tom

The same magnification does not make the same photo unless you are shooting a flat target. The problem you are having is that you are using theory you read and DOF calculators to describe something...

Love it. Show us the set up. Tom

Sorry ken you are quite wrong. DOF IS VERY MUCH A FUNCTION FOCAL LENGTH. Sorry to shout, but people get confused enough without mis information. Your fill the frame example required moving the...

For flattering portraits longer is always better. The 35-100 at the 100 end is the best m43 portrait lens.  For a while I had the 45, 75 and 35-100 all at the same time. Once a got the 35-100 I...

I just bought a new open box gx1 on amazon(Roberts) for $200. It would make a perfect back up.  In my main camera bag (canon) my OMD is my back up. I bought the gx1 for my glove...

You'll never get a wide angle zoom to equal the sharpness on the 70-200. And, of the canon wide zooms the 17-40 is the worst. If you want sharp forget the l and get the 17-55 f2.8.  It's the best...

This is excellent advice. You leave out that its a great personal break while traveling as well. Tom --www.kachadurian.comCall me crazy. I happen to like photos of cats.

Gh-2. Still a landmark camera and now cheap! Tom

Only problem is lensmate doesn't offering it anymore.  Tom
