I was pushed off a cliff as a 6 year old child and the injury got worse and worse. I became disabled at age 57. But that does not mean I should just give up on my life. I suffer from degenerative...

Wow, simply WoW!

Your right about my OP and my attitude. But then you may have missed all the subsequent replies I made appologizing for the attitude. Basically as I wrote my OP about how nice that imgage from my...

...and as you can see the Olympus E-PL1 did not!Check my OP in this thread. Violet is violet only with the Kodak SLR/n, and it's kind of blue -ish with the Olympus E-PL1. -- Life as an artist has...

That m4/3 can provide shallow DOF, I have seen enough photo's in the last few day's in my two threads that prove this fact. BTW, can I place an order with you for a few beaver pelts John? ;-)As a...

Then, are you saying all pictures of flowers at the lens closest focusing distance are macro shot's? Even when using a standard 50mm f/1.4? I never knew that.Then what about portraits? I always...

These are all very good. Nice colors as well.I am posting the results of the Kodak SLR/n FF only because I have been shooting moslty with m4/3 for about two years now, but this week when viewing...

I'm glad you posted this. I have a Panasonic G1 too, but not the 20mm f/1.7 prime.

Super nice images Amin!

I agree. My Canon 85mm f/1.2 has both a mild tele compresion on FF and a super wide open aperture of f/1.2. This provides a razor thin DOF at that lens minimum focusing distance of approx. 3 feet...

Thanks I appreciate your comments.All images that I posted here are at each lenses respective Minimum focusing distance. What I am saying is that it would not be possible to bring the front element...

I have started a new thread with comparasons between my Kodak SLR/n and my m4/3 Olympus E-PL1 with VF-2. I used the same subject violet flower. But on the E-PL-1 I used 3 different lenses in my...

This thread is really for photographers who have never used a FF DSLR but do use m4/3 cameras. Note, that I am using only older manual focus lenses and not modern AF lenses in this comparason. With...

Yep that's true. I have a bad back and neck! I must remember to use a good tripod and take more care in getting pictures of flowers that are so low to the ground that I would need to bend over to...

Nice blue butter cups!I can't say your wrong. I wish I had remained calm in my OP and not let the thought of many people blasting me effect what I really wanted to say. So much of my intent in the...

Barney,Your knowledge of flowers is much greater than mine. I hope we read more of your opinions and that we can all learn from you. I have always loved flowers. I consider them to be beautifull,...

Don,I have to admit that I am so glad I started this thread. Images such as yours are nice to view. The creamy bokeh and shallow DOF as to the image in a very nice way. Thank you for sharing. -Peter

tedolf I am happy to see you posting again and not from the dead! Please continue to be involved here. I wish you the best of luck. I would suggest that you still be true to your inner self as I am...

Thanks.I've still got over 50 albums lying around the house from my short stint as a Birthday/Weddoing photographer since I retired, so they can ask me for one. Ha ha.
