I have the original Q and 02 lens (got it on the fire sale for around $200). In that configuration, it's competent (and yes, the kit zoom is the tiniest bit faster than the kit I have with my Oly E...

I find LightZone to be excellent, but it doesn't always mimic the workflow of others, and so you might have some difficulty doing things at times. Another choice you might look into- scour the...

Just my 2 cents worth on the matter- RAW is worthwhile, in my case, based solely on my own experience. I shoot with 4 digital cameras, none of which are regarded as "super duper" cameras- a Sony...

Ok, like others I grabbed the free offer for Cyberlink Photodirector 3. It's ok, good enough to keep in the bag of programs I use with my various cameras. I'm finding an inconvenience with the...

Looks like some of the images I get from scanning negatives in... and it's something I try to reverse!  pretty sure DxO has a free version of their FilmPack software available, and from what I've...

Pretty valid observation. I have an older quadcore running Windows 7 with 8 gigs of RAM and a 1 gig video card. I had a prior desktop with similar specs (but older, DDR2 RAM), which was Vista-era...

Not too much to add beyond what Tex and the other developers/caretakers have posted; I came across this right before the initial beta testing; I was scouring the internet for freeware RAW...

Sorry if already posted, but I didn't see a thread announcing this; so I'll do it. LightZone has been resurrected from the dead and released as open-source and free, here . I did some beta testing...

I think the Q is beginning to get some traction, or at the very least it's found a niche and will be used accordingly. Go to the Pentax site and you'll see they are continuing to release firmware...

Here's my 2 cents worth on the matter-  Pentax could do this, and if they do it the right way, they could make a big splash. Consider this- Take the Q. Now, don't laugh, look at the original...

I'm a hobbyist, I don't NEED any, but I WANT them all :-) ! OK, serious answer, with background: I have accumulated a bunch of gear. It's always been while trying to get things at a bargain, to...

I will add this- in glancing at ebay today, I noted that there was one guy selling various hard-to-find adapters.  In glancing over some of his items, I found one- a Miranda to micro 4/3 adapter-...

This gets asked from time to time, and as far as I can tell, the answer is still "no". But, perhaps there are things in the works that I've been unable to find; thus, I ask the question...

I have some off-brands, most of which I've run down some info. There is one I can't find:for the X-Fujica bayonet mount- Posso 28mm f 2.8 I've grabbed several 28mm's, all of which appear different...

Thanks Tom. While I still plan on being mostly digital, I couldn't resist picking up several film bodies at the prices we're now seeing. I can't wait to take then out for a spin.

My primary reasons for choosing an Olympus MFT camera-I wanted a digital manual camera to mount old legacy lenses. Think of this ; I wanted one :-)  and now I have it (sorta), only... for real. And...

Y'know, not everyone answering questions without details is a troll. Just saying... I came across this thread via google. What did I google? "image quality of 35mm film vs dslr dpreview".Why did I...

Thanks for the response.

hmmm, what about used, body only, for $125? I'm looking at one from a reputable site. My interest is using with adapters and legacy lenses only (Minolta MC/MD, Canon FD, M42, etc). I currently do...

I think this would be a fantastic, beautiful creation. I got into MFT to use older "legacy" lenses in a manual way on a digital body (as such, I only have adapters and old lenses, no native AF...
