If I had a dollar for every apologist making excuses for stupid Nikon or Canon products, I could buy Olympus.

Anders, this type of argument about comparable ISO has been pervading the forum for ages, and it would be really useful for everyone to come to some agreement about what it means. I doubt my...

EPL2 + ...

Olympus 17 at f1.8 and f4. No ghosting from what I can tell, so will try the comparison again using flash to reduce any influence from sensor motion (or whatever it is causing the ghosting)..

Alessandro, I tried a few other lenses as part of a test of four lenses at 17mm , and the ghosting does not appear to be consistent. Even my 12-60 showed it at 0.5 second shutter speed and the...

Hi Greg, do the screws damage the coating on the lens? And do they reverse for compact storage? I don't have one for my 17 yet and was wondering if I am going to have any joy with the hood.Thanks.

These images were taken using an EM5 with a sturdy Manfrodo tripod, manual focus, IS off, 2 second anti-shock, manual exposure, custom white balance, -2 sharpness and ISO 200. Shutter speeds and...

Thanks for your comments Alessandro. I would have said the 20mm had the advantage across the board at all apertures, but especially wider apertures. I ticked the "remove CA" box in Lightroom to...

That is a Fotar case for a 2x converter. Some converters go very cheap on eBay and come with these great old leather cases. I think I paid $5 for it.

Here are some images of the two lenses fitted to the EM5 and the EPL5. 

Some example comparison shots here between the Oly 17 and the Panny 20. They are not a perfect comparison with slight framing differences but should help people make up their own mind if it is...

First time using public links from Dropbox so hopefully this will work...17mm F1.8 - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24697054/OMD80016_17_18.ORF 17mm F2.0...

Thanks Richard,Not sure if this helps but I have made some OOC comparison images from the 17 and the 20 to let the readers decide for themselves.I will provide a link to the ORFs when I get them...

Yeah, I was short of time so didn't fully explain how to get to it.Personally I would prefer that we could just click once to fire a bracketing sequence without all this timer configuration, but at...

I must be a bit slow because I didn't notice anything on the forum about time lapse shooting with the E-PL5. I only stumbled over it on the weekend. I did a search and only found this reference...

@ T3, some of us live in the real world and can benefit from the musings OldArrow has to offer. personally I would like the option of any crop from an image, or a large 1:1 image from my tiny m43...

□ Touch screen
□ IBIS
□ Wireless Flash
□ Long Battery Life
□ Large Lens Range
□ Fastest AF
□ Fast PDAF

You are absolutely correct and I will get at least one for the same reasons. But I can't help feel it is an opportunity lost. What if they made this body cap lens a sparkling performer? The...

The 100-300 version looks like it has some motion blur, either from the cat moving or the lens not as stable as a 2kg monster Nikkor when handheld at 1/80th. In the fading light I think the Panny...

Thanks Daniel for a good review of the GH3. It is clearly a step up in the m43 lineup for Panasonic.Your comments on the AF selection, being able to select the AF point on the rear screen like a...
