I agree, longer primes please! 200mm f/2.8 would be a nice start as you say. 300mm f/3.5 would also be nice 400 f/4.8 please also Don't care if it's Sigma, panny or Oly that does it, but if they do...

The captured action is great, good job! I would say however, that what you've produced isn't as challenging for CDAF as people are usually talking about. The depth of field is very deep in your...

I don't think the 50-200 or 90-250 are macro's though.  As for the OP's question, I think if you're doing still life (non moving macros)' the 50mm would be a cheaper option that would work, but if...

I'd prefer a 24-50mm f/2.0 FF :) and then a 75-150mm f/2.0 :)

Ooo imagine this speedboosted on m43!

customizing book layouts! Yes!

and the new editing features, may mean I won't need to round trip to photoshop.

Kinda wish this was more of a 4.5 release though. Hopefully the upgrade price is low.

Something to consider is that any microfourthirds camera (besides the GH1/2) have to crop out the top and bottom of their sensor to make it 16/9, which reduces the effective sensor size.  not only...

You can always add mass, but you can't take away mass. If you find it's too light, connect it to some weight via the top or bottom tripod hole.

This will fit great on a pan head, as it's small and light, if using adapted lens', get an adapter with tripod mount build in. As for controls, if it's on a pan head, use the LANC port to have...

The first port is a LANC port which gives full remote control of the camera (stop/start/focus/iris/etc..), the rest you were spot on.

I think people would PP it by stopping the lens' down then applying the blur.

OldArrow, if you shrink the square to fit without vinetting than any regular aspect ratio would actually be a much smaller crop than the current 4/3 size. Square is efficient, but the horizontal...

If you look at the shutterspeed used, it's twice as fast for the F/1.0 setting. So it's "darker" for expecting it to be equalized by the faster shutterspeed. To really see if you're getting an...

Also consider that lens' makers (Canon/Nikon) well (should) re-release their lens' to better behave with contrast detect auto-focus, since both seem to be pushing live view as well as video...

Indeed, though the adapter isn't free... ;)

It does use a different optical formula, but it doesn't give you a greater multiplication factor, apparently there are limits in terms of how far the lens' can protrude into the body cavity and the...

Wrong... because even if there was an AF motor (which Canon doesn't use btw), the camera body (NEX) still only uses contrast detect, and the lens' motors/gears are setup for a phase detect type...

Indeed they've been around for a long time with telescopes, but in the photography world they'd never work before the advent of mirrorless cameras since you never had the space to put them between...

Indeed, I know I used to have posters of supercars and motorcycles as a kid, does Nikon have posters of these exotic lens'?  It sure is a drool worthy piece of kit, something I'd likely only bring...
