At 200mm wide open at 4.8. PPed but you get the general idea...

Rick, There is no such thing as a free lunch. I think it comes down to the difference between an APS-C sensor and a full frame sensor. At 100% you'll see that difference and there's also (with the...

Just to prove you can't please all of the people all of the time, I preferred the originals ;-) . I think B&W is always better slightly underexposed with lots of contrast.

Hopefully next week I'll be able to post some views on it. This week I'll focus on getting my post on the 55-200mm finished...

Some thoughts here (it's a multipart review on the E-M5 and G5): http://sgoldswoblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/27/panasonic-35-100mm-first-impressions/ Essentially, it's a very good lens optically but...

As far as image quality it's really the difference between a (very good) crop sensor and a (very good) FF sensor. The X100S is a better comparison. It's very close in IQ at full screen size, miles...

Bit of a daft statement - most Leica shooters I know shoot 80-90% of the time with a 35 or 50 fitted. Also, I'm not sure I would describe the control and programme settings as poor, rather the...

Unless you match the DR settings. The DR recovery settings suck the life (and resolution) out of photos (sorry, I know they are useful for high contrast jpegs, but no one can tell me (ignoring DR)...

This big deal here is the loss of unlimited storage. I actually think the front end looks better. If you stay pro you can renew to keep the storage. My suggestion would be not to cancel as a...

Tried to post this yesterday but obviously the IT gods were not smiling on me... Thanks - the original shot was nice enough in colour (I'm finally getting that shooting the X-Pro1 in manual and...

I took my X-Pro1, 14mm and 35mm lenses to Green Park and the Victoria Memorial this week. Blog post: http://wp.me/p2wMAg-uR Some Examples:

To magnify in digital split image just tap the command dial - the B&W image aids in lining up the edges.

This feature is useful, more useful than focus peaking to me. It isn't really like rangefinder focusing (which I'm experienced with), more like split prism manual focus screens for a DSLR. To get...

I  remember you could create what looked like noise in post processing through LR 4.4RC. I suspect it is as simple as that. In any event the x100 and current generation m43s have worse noise...

The shots just don't look ultra sharp. Compare this output to the Fuji 14mm and the Fuji is materially better.--http://sgoldswoblog.wordpress.comhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/sgoldswo/

To me, the output from the 12mm is a bit average, look at the corners at 100%. Not terrible but I would expect better.However, the 32mm output looks...

I agree, I don't think they are terrible, but they do look a bit average, which is not so impressive given the subject matter. At the very best you are paying more to get something that isn't quite...
