Ha I had one of those bags...was a pretty good one...recall walking into many cam shops and the sales folks kinda swarming it. The mesh I can't remember terribly well, but if it is just like the...

Not true for me...my OM f1.4 50mm is wonderful. Was my first fully manual lens on a digital body. It let me rediscover the joy of manual focus from my film body years. Paid all of $100 for a prime...

Love the last one....nice shot :-D

Yes...these high ISO's  make your subjects look very old/outdated and that aircraft carrier looks tiny! That sucks.

from my earlier post, i think a lot of people whining about ergonomics likely have never used a traditional film body. when you have, you can readily accept what the OMD is trying to achieve. yes...

one point i have not seen mentioned...the camera is a retro concept design...an homage to the glorious OM series 35mm film cameras. any one familar with shooting film bodies from that era will feel...

i just posted some shot of a jazz band in conditions you describe. used legacy OM 50mm f1.4 on and adapter and also the light-eating Voigtlander 25mm f0.95. all hand held, manually focused. even...

thanks for the feedback...really was my first effort with the Nik tools, so i did get excitedwhen i was able to actually bring out eyes from the original inky depths ofcthe originals. infact even...

Agreed. I've re-discovered the joys of fully manual primes...a legacy 50mm OM 1.4 and the totally modern, fully manual 25mm Voigtlander Nokton 0.95. I have been using these two as my primary walk...

While on a business trip to Seattle last week, I walked into the New Orleans Cajun bar and found a jazz band setting up. Asked if they'd mind me taking some photos during their performance and they...

This only provides an IR simulation...not true IR. When I used the NIK SilverEfex 2 IR filter with options at default, foliage in my shot did not go white...stayed quite dark. Skies did get quite...

this was taken with an IR converted camera...the hotfilter is removed from the front of the sensor. this means no filter is needed on front of lens and since 100% of the IR reaches the sensor,...

thanks Bob...your comments are very welcome. definately will take them in consideration when composing.Btw these shots were done with AftershotPro...didnt have SEP at that time. need to revisit the...

I believe if you read the warranty card that came with the camera, you will find the statement that you, as customer, are responsible for shipping items to a repair facility for warranty work. I...

IR is fun. Like your subjects. Here are some of my 1st shots out of an IR converted ("hot" filter removed from sensor) Canon 40D: Colour direct from cam after custom WB from nearby green foliage...

How was the Sand Fall done? Some one shoveling sand down from above? Thanks.

Nice work. The Sepia effect works well here.

Stop this work! Don't you understand? the whole industrial complex upon which modern photography is based is put at risk by your radical concepts! How can Ni-Canon survive if we all start tossing...

From my 40D IR:

Thanks Bob. I do like some of the other IR modes in the tool...there's one that gives the classic "glow" effect of traditional film based IR that looks like it could be fun. I have an IR converted...
