There are plenty of cameras out there that are "capable of some nice images", from M43 to other APSC offerings. The differences, however, are that they have fast and/or interchangeable lenses, and...

That really is a nice lamp. Maybe if we get together and and buy two of them, we can get a discount. Then we'll just need rooms for them. I imagine that thing is very large. Great shot of the whole...

Imagine the shot without the peacock. Still a nice shot, but this is a great example of an interesting foreground really stepping it up. Beautiful shot! Just be careful. Those peacocks can be mean!

This is just plain awesome.

That is some great travel! I get around, but this is actually my first Paris trip. Beijing is great, and that Antarctic trip will be incredible I bet. Can't wait to see pictures!

Sounds right to me.

Dumb luck meets preparation meets having friends meets some more dumb luck, and voila, I have a M 240. Unfortunately the second one I have on order I am going to have to wait for like everyone...

LOL, sorry, I had to ask. I was intrigued and felt like an explanation would either be enlightening or humorous, both of which I am a fan of.  Preaching to the choir my friend. I totally agree...

I see where you are coming from, however, the decision to refer to DOF control and the ability to shoot with shallow DOF as a photo cliche is really not justified by your statement. Of course, it...

Any time. Me too.  I actually prefer primes (35, 50, 90) but really like to shoot ultra wide with a zoom when possible. Back in the Nikon days it was the 17-35 f/2.8. In a pinch you can get out...

DOF control and/or the ability to shoot with shallow DOF is a photo cliche? Alright, I'm game. Would you mind elaborating? Also, I don't think shallow DOF needs to be someone's "main thing" in...

That is a REALLY nice kit. I come from Fujiland and owned all their current stuff (aside from the new 55-200). The IQ is really nice, and the high ISO is very usable. I may actually have kept one...

I totally agree on the EVF. I love it on the M. Sometimes I forget it isn't optical. Another thing I really like is when shooting landscapes with the UWA, there are times when I stick it on a...

I think the issue between sides that don't see eye to eye on this camera is pretty simple to clear up once placed in proper terms. The X Vario is fantastic at what it does, maybe the best. It will...

These are great! I love UWA. I have the CV 12mm, which is fantastic and crazy wide. Same issue though with the color cast, making black and white images a bit more easier on the processing.  I used...

mgatov, I am absolutely speechless with regards to the comments that were directed at you several times in this thread by the OP, but I have to say that I am completely impressed by your composure....

Took them to the park today to do what they love most... Roll around in the dirt!!!  M8/50mm Summilux @ f/2 Mugsy Nola

I am with Hill & Usher. They are an agent and I believe the carrier is The Hartford. Check out Hill & Usher Package Choice. That is their photographer specific coverage. They have been around for a...

There are more options than that. I have equipment specific insurance covering not only my camera gear but also my computers, hard drives, and all software related to photography. This is not...
