Nice review. The shutter shock is something I've only recently started believing in (had put it down to hysteria, on the hysteria prone Micro Four Thirds forum) as I've found I sometimes get...

I love the science forum already, but perhaps it should be renamed the Bob n Bustard forum?

My 14mm f2.5 and 20mm f1.7 do the same on my Olympus bodies. It's not harmful in and of itself, but I do worry about the wear and tear on the lens, so I'm more likely to have the camera switched...

The real money is in the lenses, not the personal computer in the body of a camera (which is all a modern camera is, mostly - hope I don't upset anyone by saying that).  A move to be more like...

CaNikon and Sony have the market sewn up.  For Pentax, it just about makes sense  because the mount has always been designed around 35mm.  Like Leica, if Olympus go for a new mount/format,...

And regardless of whether or not you like Olympus's approach, they still provide bodies for these lenses.

But then again, the person you replied to also missed his crutch, while being 100 percent correct. Such is life.

Well, what you lose would lose in the highlights at ISO100, you gain in the shadows, so horses for courses.  This assume the base ISO of the sensor is ISO200..... In any event, at either end of the...

The sensor of the E-M 5 is good enough that it's rather hard to discern noise at ISO200 (and that's with auto gradiation switched on, the shadows already pushed and noise filter set to off).  That...

If you take the release release date of the 16MP Sony sensor that went into cameras like the K5 and D7000, it is reasonable enough to say that sensor technology has been fairly static since then.

Or APS-C as a compromise medium?

Sorry to hear of your loss, but the lens wasn't designed, or advertised, to be resistant to anything....

At a ranch called Okapuka, on the Savanna, outside of Windhoek.

Sometimes, I just love this job of mine.  Okapuka is a game ranch on the savannah, outside of Windhoek, Namibia.

And what is/are drives innovation, at least today's awful market.  In one sense I like it.  We have innovation.  In another sense, I'm not so sure.  A top notch bit of kit from the 50s, combined...

Like (I'm guessing quite a few) others here, I've been playing with the free DXO Filmpack 3 that has been doing the rounds.  Here are some photos from last week. Now, the workflow isn't optimal -...

This is probably one of my best (if not my very best) efforts:

Hello everyone. I'm busy working with a client in Southern Africa this week but will hopefully get time to post some critiques at the weekend. In the meantime, here are two views from the top of...

But only a single arbitrary value, that described the sensitivity of the camera/sensor, so to speak; a stake in the ground.  You could call it ISO, but a stake in the ground was all that ISO ever...
