I had an OM-D for a few days and sent it back for a refund. I really didn't find much about it that justified the crazy price. I found it uncomfortable in the hand, I found the menu system and...

I have a GX1, a G5, and all three of the lenses you are talking about (14-45, 25, and 12-35). I own the surprisingly good 45-200 too, but I don't use telephoto all that much.Before I got the 12-35...

I don't care about such stuff. I care that the G5 makes nice pitchers.

The pockets on the ends of the Retro 5 are good for a single pencil or a toothbrush or the like. Getting more in there is an exercise in frustration.However, I have an R-U-Thirsty (predecessor of...

Wow, that's too bad. Being blind is a significant handicap for a photographer.

If you really want to properly expose the moon, you don't even need a meter. I read somewhere that it's ALWAYS a bright sunny day on the moon, therefore the proper exposure for the moon itself...

Geeze, you really do have to pepper your posts with smileys around here if you want someone to recognize a bad attempt at humor.

I downloaded it this morning, both LR 4.2 and ACR 7.2 and they both work great with my G5 raw files.

You sure the wind wasn't just blowing really, really hard?

Adobe has posted LR 4.2 RC and ACR 7.2 RC on Adobe Labs. They both have G5 RAW support!

Thanks so much for your helpful post, Harold. Are you originally from this planet?

I'm really fond of the ThinkTank Retrospective 5. It carries my GX1 plus VF, plus a G5, plus 12-35mm zoom, 25 f/1.4, and 45-200mm zoom, as well as filters, remote release, extra memory cards,...

Jesus. Hopefully for the last time.

Going in and out of AEB bracketing mode is also very easy on the GX1 and G5. You just press the down control on the multi-controller and you are in the drive mode selection, from there you can...

I think that if you are using this lens for macro work the AF speed is not particularly important, because for macro work it is almost always preferable to either focus manually or actually move...

Thom Hogan has a good article about sharpening and noise reduction in LR and ACR right here: http://www.sansmirror.com/articles/proper-noise-reduction-in.html

For me the difference between my shooting raw and shooting jpegs is like the difference between using my own darkroom with film (which I did used to do when I shot 4x5 black and white and loved)...

At least for now, I have gone back to using my GX1 and the G5 is staying home. I really, really don't like shooting jpegs, and without Adobe raw support yet I am not going to use the G5 anymore. ...

... even though L-e-i-c-a didn't manufacture it.

I think "build quality" is an unmeasurable factor that people who have paid way too much for what they got in photo gear use to justify it. Since it cannot be measured, it cannot be refuted.It's...
