I love the Oly 45mm f1.8 It is a true portrait lens (90 mm) and at that focal length head and shoulder portraits have a nice background blur.  The bokeh is smoother and more pleasing than the...

If it is a direct and blatant copy of the architect's work, then yes probably should be compensated. It depends on who owns the copyright, and also what the copyright law dictates. Laws typically...

It is pretty clear.
IF the Government had purchased the copyright to this sculpture then the artist would not have any claim.
Likewise if someone commissioned an artist (you) to make a work of art,...

I will have to recommend the Olympus 45mm f1.8 or the Panasonic 25mm f1.4. I am hooked on the prime lenses with their fast apertures. Allows for nice out of focus backgrounds and shooting in...

Not to argue, but portraits in the classic sense have a composition that is dominated by the subject, And typically don't include a lot of stuff around them.From Wikipedia that controversial...

When I am using legacy glass I uually shoot in "A" aperture mode.  This way you adjust the Aperture on the lens and your body will set shutter speed to proper exposure. Given that the camera body...

Not trying to be "picky" just thought I would clarify.The 42.5 mm will equal 85mm in FF, whereas a 45mm (such as Olympus 45mm f1.8) equals 90mm.So there is a difference. Just as the Olympus 17mm...

It is a 42.5mm f1.2 lens not a 45mm.

GH1 and GH2 have multi aspect ratio sensors, no cropping.

Video files can get huge, I recommend having several SD cards. "Class 10" sd cards are recommended as they read and write faster than class 4 or 6.Here is a tutorial for GH2, may apply to the GH3...

I have a GH1 and GH2. When I don't want to think about all the confusing settings I use the iA (intelligent auto) setting, then press the red button designated for starting video...

If you are still under warranty by all means have it repaired for free! It doesn't matter if it doesn't act up for the repair man. If it is acting up frequently for you it surely will act up for...

It all depends on how much money you have to spend.I own several Canon FD lenses (manual focus lenses made in 1970's), one Nikon manual focus lens, a Minokta Rokkor lens, etc...All of these lenses...

I am also looking To purchase both the Olympus 17 and the Panasonic 25.Though the focal length is narrower, don't rule out the Olympus 45mm f1.8. It is an awesome lens, great for head and shoulder...

I have learned from checking threads several times a week, that they usually fall apart a few pages in, due to gear obsession.  Photography is seldom discussed, i.e. where a particular lens and...

BTW I shoot photos nearly everyday. I enjoy photography, I just wish I could enjoy this forum a little more than I do. I also wish that newcomers would not be insulted and also made to question...
