From what I remember of an article about this lens (about 15 years ago, perhaps in Sky and Telelscope). It is somewhat radioactive because of the thorium, "it can't focus blue worth a damn", it is...

I'm heading to NYC next week and plan to stop at Adorama since they have the Phottix Hector which may provide remote live-view and remote shutter release with my camera. Has anyone here had...

Many thanks, This stuff is really useful for me. Harry

Great shot.  Can you give me a reference to lumix link? TIA Harry

Depending on the kit you get the 14-42 is $50 above the cost of the body. Certainly worth the price. At the moment its the only lens I have for the PL5. So I will follow this thread with...

Is there a remote focusing function available on thew PL5? Can the PL5 operate in a tethered mode? (Which cameras support tethered operation?) TIA Harry

I think your wife is asking you what's the best thing the two of you could do with $6,000? Note that holding on to it for use down the road is definitely an option. Harry

I would say rather that the appeal of all but the last photo is primarily personal. Those that can't share the personal appeal of those photos can only appraise the images' aesthetics. You need to...

snip Wasn't there a problem with the cartridge design prohibiting the use of a film registration plate that doomed the format to 4x6 mediocrity from the outset. Pentax's attempt was seen as...

Question? Does the corrupt image occur in an exposure that uses exposure values outside the range available to the lens/camera combination?

Does any camera have a macro bracketing routine? The photographer would indicate the front and back of the target using a touch screen for example and the camera would produce some small number...

What should the shot count be for a new Pen E PL5 be?  I have 66 jpegs on my card but my shot count is now 602? That and the scuff marks on the lens suggests I have a model that was improperly...

Many thanks for your thoughtful and far ranging reply. Becoming proficient with this camera seems to be a bit of a challenge. Your help is greatly appreciated. (As was your comment about Spanish...

Jorginho, There is a a lot of very valuable information in your post. It is full of jems. Some of them I will be able to use right away. But assembling them into Mysets will take longer. I will use...

Guy, Sorry, I'm new here. I was attempting to mark your reply as "the answer" but to include a reference to rrr_hhh's post. Couldn't find a another way to do it. Now if someone in the future...

But also see rrr_hhh 's post.

Are there tips & tricks for setting up the Pen E PL5? Got mine on Sunday. (Looks there could be a good market in writing coherent manuals. Is there an app for setting up the camera off line with a...

That shot has a visceral, vertigo provoking quality. Great work. Harry

Please don't take anything here too seriously. I bought a Canon S100 last year. I love the workmanship and I never look at the pixels of pictures I take. But compact as it is, it still stays home...

I think I'm pulling the trigger tomorrow on the E-PL5. I hope I can learn to work with the touch screen & super menu. I'll take one last look for reviews before I decide. Ralfs-foto-bude.de has a...
