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

Before I buy a new g15 from amazon for $450 any one have a used one they want to sell? Tom

No built-in viewfinder. 2013 tech with 2009 logic. Won't be on my list.Tomwww.kachadurian.comCall me crazy. I happen to like photos of cats.

One is required, the other is forced. I update to the next version when I have an off season month to learn it. not when adobe announces it. IF I have a bad year I struggle along with the old...

You buy apps on the app store, then they are yours. You don't ever repay for them and can redownload them for free. It's not even close to the same thing.

I'll use cs6 as long as I can then switch to something else.  Tom www.kachadurian.comCall me crazy. I happen to like photos of cats.
