Does thou not knowest that thy language is changing forsooth? Does thou not understand that new editions of the dictionary come out pricsely because language is changing all the time. English...

Except if the self-same person has left the better tool at home because they didn't feel like carrying it around. No one can deny that the best tool is the one you have with you. Which is...

Except that the D3 was their much requested FF camera, and the D700 was the much much cheaper FF camera that enthusiasts (like me) could afford. Very few non-pros were going to shell out for a D3....

Does that mean that all the people who purchased all sorts of DX lenses like the excellent 17-55/2.8 will be able to use them on a FF camera? Of course it doesn't. In addition, if they like to...

Why would they kill their APS-C market? Why would they raise the price on the D800 to match the Canon and then undercut every other FF by that much? It just makes no sense. I do think its...

I'm not doubting your results, but I wonder if you are just stressing over the margins. Just how much difference is there between the 14-45 and the 12-50? Could you post some...

It an interesting post, but you might not have noticed that he was talking about a camera that doesn't actually exist yet, and making the assumption that Nikon is going to kill their better selling...

Scott, How well does the E-M5 with a lens attached fit in the Hadley Small? According to the website, the E-M5 is about 3/4 of an inch taller then the interior of the...

DXO is adding support for the E-M5 in August, and it looks like they are skipping all the most popular lenses. That means no: 14mm 20mm 25mm 45mm 12-50mm The best part is you can't...

Sorry T3, but I have to agree with Pete here. When I am shooting outside in the evening and the light gets low, I just wave my magic wand and the sun comes right out again. Very handy. You probably...

Tony, I was on the fence about buying this lens, and your post has really crystalized for me why it would be a waste for me to get it. I'm sure it will be great for many people, but its not for...

Most be a pretty flimsy camera. He bearly touched it.

I agree that they would sell a ton of these at $35. Perhaps they are looking to maximize profits, rather then to maximize sales. -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelthek/

Andy, Just how prevalent is te aperture dance? I have an E-M5, and I have the 25 on it most of the time. I have never heard any clicking at all. -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelthek/

Well done. First time I've actually laughed form some comment here. -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelthek/

Well, to be fair, neither of these issues impacts all users of either lens. I have both lenses, and I have never experienced any banding from the 20, or any noise from the...

Maybe, but that doesn't make the question any less stupid. -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelthek/

Which converter is that? -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelthek/

No offense, but its a stupid question. If I didn't own any photographic equipment already, both would be a waste of money. If I had a camera but no lens, the lens would probably be a better...
