OTOH we are being told that making high performance lenses for smaller formats is actually more difficult: which, it's said, explains why they're so expensive. Take your pick. Roy

No doubt about it. Roy

"l'exception française" strikes again... Roy

Wow! It's really small. Wow! It's expensive. Wow! The menu system is labrynthine. Wow! The controls are close together. Wow! Some desired setup options conflict with otherwise non-conflicting...

I think most people who know a bit about mechanical watches (and their depreciation) wouldn't buy either, at least new. Roy

Given the dreadful battery life (don't leave it switched on!) low availability and daft price of originals, how about an informal poll? Who is using third-party OMD batteries, which versions, and...

The only fix seems to be for (rare?) extreme under exposure in unspecified conditions. Anyone experienced this? Roy

I have a D700, the Big Three 2.8s, and numerous other FF lenses of all vintages. Plus a D200 DX body.
A week ago I bought an OMD - after long consideration of the NEX7, X-Pro 1, and the Nikon 1...

That's correct, it stays the size you've set - BUT if you want to see the live histogram you need to hit the info button again. At which point the focus rectangle reverts to the default size. This...

This is correct, however when you do this it displaces the live histogram after you've taken the shot. The reduced size focus rectangle remains present only until you hit the info button again to...

I assume this means that you'd be using the rear panel to compose rather than the evf? Which I wouldn't be doing, normally. Roy

Thanks Michael. The problem is that I'm used to a D700... I am using AF S but haven't tried overriding the selection manually. I find the zoom VF function on this camera very, very unfriendly....

Is it possible to make this smaller? The current default size is ridiculously large - and I've got lots of missed focus shots to prove it. Whilst we're on the subject one of the many annoying...

Unfortunately US supplier won't ship to UK via Amazon. The Fotodiox version (non G, which is OK) looks similarly priced. I think the aperture adjusting function is an unecessary complication. In...

Terry, you're a bl00dy star! It might have taken me a very long time to discover that - if ever. Thanks! Roy

I've been playing about with a couple of old Nikkors despite the abominable quality of the adaptor I currently have (see another thread). I can't manage to get the magnify function to work at all...

I've had a little more time to investigate this. Firstly, I'd strongly advise against buying this adaptor. The reason it's supposed to enable the use of G series lenses is that the rotating collar...

I just received one of these supplied by a (UK) company (iPixel) on Fleabay. It's advertised as compatible with G mount lenses as well as earlier versions, price £23. Be careful if you buy...
