  • I also hope Adobe sees this as a mistake now and releases Camera Raw as a separate software package at lower cost. Being able to edit in just Camera Raw with Tiff or Jpeg output would be interesting.

  • I think this move is interesting. Capture One, Gimp, and even Corel must like this as new users will fall in.
    In the long run this might work. I like having critical photos stored on Smugmug in...

  • @sportyaccordy,
    Depends on what you want for equivalent. I like the more light coming in with f2.8 and seem to NEED more DOF. So 43rds is better! I tend to shoot my 43rds at F4, my full frame at...

  • What? You say you compared the size of sony NEX lenses to M43rds lenses. Then you say they are the same size. I am sorry but no!
    Fuji has managed to make some really small nice lenses. These I...

  • Henry's and Vistek and Toronto always carried Olympus stuff.  This is good if you live in or around Toronto. I am now in Bethesda MD USA.  I have only one shop that used to carry Olympus stuff,...
  • I am interested in how this lens tests out. I am also interested on what it looks like on a full frame camera, interesting to see it will mount on the Canon 6D. If it only vignettes a little,...

  • The Olympus 14-35mm is NOW $2300. But it was $1800 around launch time. It also sold New between $1400-$1600 When the 43rds cameras were popular. This higher price is partially due to it being an...

  • Yabokkie what are you talking about!
    The AA filter blurs the image. Thus a 16MP image with out a blur filter will be crisper and sharper than one an AA filter. Thus RaZZ3R request is fully...

  • Keith were have you see the 50mm that cheap?  Really.  Yesterday the cheapest I saw was $350 and today looking its Still new at $500 and used $380. If I could get the 50mm at $250, I almost might. ...
  • To add to the list.  I think its best not to use what everyone else uses, but what is easiest and produces the best results for you.  Try: 1. UFRaw (its free) 2. Rawthreapee (its free) 3. Capture...
  • Nikon capture supports Raw files of Nikon cameras! Amazing!

  • Replied in Bootstrap
    I just downloaded V3.  Did not know it was out.  I typed in the Serial from my E3 and it let me download it.  It seems big at 95.2MB Bootstap was the online name from a famous photographer whom...
  • I don't know if I would recommend dropping your current 14-42mm. I own a lot of Olympus lenses.  I would say the 11-22mm is cheap and better than the 14-54mm.  I own the 14-42mm and its actually...
  • This is also true in the US, but on a state by state basis. It is illegal for me to take an image of a person in MD without their written consent. However many people still just take the image. ...

  • I don't like the images I have seen so far. Also I think he very luck he has not been shot yet. And I don't mean from a camera.

  • I have one.  How much are you considering?  I am also in the DC area. Mine if I remember correctly allows for focus just past infinity on my E3.  But was about perfect on my E510.  Its also made of...
  • No longer for sale!  I have modified the lens to fit my camera.  Now works great as intended!
  • I just tested the Tamron 24-70mm F2.8 VC  The new one and it will not mount.  The VC switch is huge and will not allow for mounting at all I think. The tamron 28-75mm f2.8 will mount with no...
