And the equivalent aperture must be something like f/128.

No Mamiya for me - just an Olympus OM-2n - but Portra 160 is the only colour film I use. Colours are just right with this film!

Nigel, why did you take my remarks personally? Why did you feel insulted when I ridiculed the use an iPhone for composing pictures and calculating DoF?
I use a 35mm film camera and lenses with DoF...

Nigel, I can hardly imagine how frightfully difficult it must have been to photograph before they came um with this DoF calculator app.

It was all going well until I read the word 'smartphone'. A useful tool, they say, in that it helps with composition and calculating depth of field... WHAT?

That's because I am! The fact that I have an Olympus E-P1 doesn't detract me from saying so.
Seriously, there's very little to tell APS-C and micro 4/3 apart. You need to go full frame to see...

So what? They're still appalling. A half-decent camera would do a much better job.

Why is Connect still trying to impinge on us the idea that smartphones are a viable alternative to a decent camera? Look at those 4 pictures of the girl: they're ridiculous! Their lack of quality...

One day Canon fanboys will grow up and realize every less-than-glowing review of their beloved cameras is not part of a conspiracy against Canon.
Reading the comments below, it looks like that day...

Does a budget body make sense in a system where the vast majority of the lenses are premium?

Biowizard, if you want a fully-manual focus, Full-Frame DSLR with the original OM mount, you've got lots of options: Olympus OM-1, OM-1n, OM-2, OM-2n, OM-2SP, OM-3, OM-4T, OM-4Ti, etc. You can get...
