Thanks, Itchhh. The puss was a stray and had to wait patiently for the monkey to have his breakfast first. He got some noodles in the end. S

Another quiet month for me photography-wise. I've probably only taken 100 shots so far. Here are three ... I shot this yesterday during my morning walk. The monkey has been a pain recently -...

No, this is not true. The possessive without an additional "s" is quite common and acceptable in most English-speaking countries (apart from the US). I used to be a journalist on New Zealand's...

Great! I hope it works out for you, mate. I'm sure it will though - I can't imagine anyone not liking these bags. They have a really nice old-fashioned quality about them. S

Sorry, but I don't own the E-M5. I think it will fit, but I'm not 100 per cent sure. Louis might be able to tell you.

No water, I'm afraid.

I'm afraid you're wrong in terms of Micro Four Thirds lenses. Most of the big-aperture lenses are at their best around f4 to f5.6. Diffraction is already setting in from f8 to f11.

In my opinion the lens is a good one, although compared with other M43 primes I think it is overpriced. I don't think it's as sharp as some of the top performers (45/1.8 and 25/1.4) although it...

Congratulations! You win the cock 'o' the day award.

In terms of protecting the camera body, water is most likely to enter via the attachment area around the lens and mount. It is not likely to enter via the actual lens, as it would have to seep...

Only in the United States Where? I suspect only in the United States. I didn't get taken. I caught them trying to do the switch. Yes, and those people live in the United States. Most people do...

Oh, I see. I already do that. It's under "noise reduction" in the big menu. I still get noise though.

Hi Louis, Thanks for being honest about the camera. It's hard to sort out the fanboyism from the chaff sometimes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "dark noise subtraction", but I can...

I'm in a similar situation to you, Raven. I'm a regular traveller who typically goes backpacking for 3-6 months in various parts of the world (I've done this about five times now). I've always...

...says the dude who came into a Micro Four Thirds forum to "laugh" at people who choose m43 for the weight advantage.

What does that have to do with size and weight?

Yes, I also switched because of the size/weight factor.

I can't comment on the Pentax, but I personally switched from Nikon DSLR to m43 and I find the size and weight differences to be significant. In fact, size and weight are the main reasons I...

Placed 3^rd in the challenge.
