I'm guessing you have a "protective" filter on the lens - UV or clear glass?The location of the "orbs" in the night shots appear to be perfectly polar symmetric reflections of the light. I think...

As already outlined the Fn1 assignment is often not useful because you must hold it down. And he was right, it is 8 clicks otherwise and as usual you are just too little of a person to admit you...

Cross posted with you, sorry.  It is a test shot, not a photographic shot, and one of the presented samples was at F/2.8 - but another and F/5.6 - so I wasn't sure which you were referring to.  My...

Actually, sorry - I now realize I don't know which sample image you are referring to here as far as aperture goes.

No, you've got that part wrong.  I think you are confusing the "II" and "R" designations.  The "II R" is just a cosmetic update of the "II".  However, the "II" is a completely different optical...

Actually your kit lens doesn't, because his shot is at F/2.8 and your kit lens doesn't have an F/2.8 aperture at 17mm...

Lots of people got the order canceled email,it seems, but also many have the order already in shipping or received. I suspect that since yours is being delivered to you tomorrow you'll get the...

Whoa - I missed this on the first look.  The press release says it has focus peaking.  I know a lot of people have wanted that in the m43 world...

Modest update, though honestly I'm not sure what all they'd add.  The G5 seemed to be a pretty refined camera for the G series.  I guess all the programmable buttons are nice. Really, this seems to...

G5 has the GH2 sensor.  Someone at Panasonic said this awhile back and the DxO Mark measurements are almost identical.

No, not CA.  Looks as if the chair is just a bit behind the plane of focus so you are just seeing normal out of focus blur. The only signs of CA I see are very subtle on the edges of the windowed...

Yes they understand. Do you understand the concept of reading the paragraph in which they very clearly explain the context of this lens with regards to F/2.8 on FF and ISO settings?

At least early on there seemed to be quite a bit of copy variation with the 12/2.  Anders on this forum tried three I think, all had tilted image planes and he eventually shimmed his copy.  Jordan...

I don't think anyone expects a EM6 announcement until fall.  The upcoming announcement is likely the EP6. There will always be new cameras coming and price drops that follow.  Par for the...

And a Google cached version of a Tech Crunch article with some more specifics: Tech Crunch LR5 Announcement

Here is the article from Google cache: Cached version of article Just like you'd expect from something written by USA Today the story contains absolutely no specific or useful information.  It...

The flaw in your design is that if you remove the lower petal of the hood you will now have light reflected off of the ground entering the lens rather than light coming off the matte black inner...

I can't imagine shooting F/2 in a slot canyon.  You need DoF - lots of it.  Assume you'll shoot everything at F/6.3 to F/11.  As suggested, bring a tripod - even a very small one will do.

Wow, who knew?  I sold mine (silver, body only, mint, all packaging) for $550 last August.  Wouldn't have thought I should have waited longer to sell! But I think a previous poster is correct, had...

Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't noticing the second half of the quote in the OP about the mystery compact. Thanks for clarifying.  I guess we will see. Nikon and Fuji have done it.  Not sure Panasonic would...
