There is of course no denying that many adapted lenses do not perform as well as on their native bodies. However, my humble opinion is that Mr Cicala is making wrong conclusions here. Adapters are...

In fact, the "micro" in "micro four thirds" does not stand for 10^{-6} but rather stands for "small". So this has nothing to do with the metric system.

Naaah. I had a b+w filter stuck on my lens pretty badly, but never had problem with Hoya. In fact, I believe threading on Hoya's are generally better. besides, having a coating on a polarizer is an...

As some rumors suggest. This makes circular polarizers more "future proof". As for the myth that circular polarizers are not as effective as linear polarizers, I believe it originates from the fact...

The only real difference between OV2 and OV3 is that the latter remembers the raw development settings. However, implementation of that is just extremely clumsy and super slow.  Highlight/recovery...

About a year ago, I bought a Domke bag from Adorama, which was supposed to be new. It came without the original labels, etc, and was obviously used. Since it was just a bag, it was not a big deal...

How about ditching zooms in favor of primes. You even don't have to change your system.

I agree that there is no reason for Oly charger to be this large, however take into account the following facts while using the third party chargers: 1) Oly charger uses 8.7V instead of standard...

How about soft release button? Has anyone tried?

I use op/tech USA Digital D-Mini neoprene bag for my GF3 and 14mm combo and it works great. Cheap too ($10). I am not sure about availability in the UK, though.

jrg must be kidding. OM Zuikos have silky smooth focusing mechanism and are pleasure to use for manual focus. I have the F3.6 version of the zoom, which produces stunning results. There is also...

Export options in OV3 are precisely the same as in OV2. In both versions there are three different export options for TIFF called Exif-TIFF (8 bit with embedded exif info) and TIFF 8bit TIFF 16bit...

Doen's "macro" imply "flat field curvature"? If what you say is correct then Then 45/2.8 is a bad "macro" lens.

Here is the important difference between 2 and 3: 3 authomatically saves the RAW development settings.  That said, Viewer 3 is unbearably slow and even clumsier than Viewer 2.

My Fotodiox CY adapter had a light leak. Had to patch with a black tape.

Any ideas what the 1-2 switch is over the video record button?  Better visible on 43rumors picture here

That's interesting if true. Can you recall the source of that information? I would be reluctant buying a filter from ebay, as there are too many fakes floating around.

What makes you think I absolutely need branded CPLs? Quite the opposite, I am shopping, trying to find what will work best for me ... The problem with Kenko/Hoya's is that they don't make Pro1 D's...

Is this a general claim or you are basing this on a factual knowledge?

Specs are not available for panasonic filters, or at least I couldn't find them anywhere. Hence created this question.
