Off the top of my head and to name just a few role playing gaming, motorcycling, writing, and a recent addition chainmail making (both armour and jewellery).

I've not tried astrography myself, but couldn't you get a T adapter and effectively use the telescope, itself, as the lens? It looks like B&H has a Micro Four-Thirds T mount available.

I use my Panasonic 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 more often than any other lens, for candid shots. After that my 17mm F2.8 and 45mm F1.8 get roughly equal use.

Actually it's still a plausible argument. Everything is a trade-off. Get a flash and lose IBIS, the flip screen, or the viewfinder to maintain the same size. Move IBIS to lenses and you increase...

Why isn't one permanently installed? Size, pure and simple. It's meant to be smaller than a DSLR and the more you pack into the body, the more like a DSLR it becomes. I'm just glad that the LCD...

Considering there's no crop in that shot, you might be surprised to know how close I was to the subject. I shoot inside the fence. My post is to illustrate exactly what you're saying though; that...

.... then you can get shots of a moving kid with it.

By any chance are you shooting straight down on occasion? The camera has an orientation sensor and that information is coded into the EXIF data, which is then interpreted by many editors prior to...

The 9-18 is quite a nice lens, for the price, and gives a 100 degree field of view at 9mm. In simple terms you can put your back in the corner of a room and shoot virtually the entire room.

I didn't take a whole lot of them. It was just a brief experiment during a throw-away practice session. Fifteen shots in total, all of similar type. you can see the lot of them at this...

Yes, I have the Panny 40-200mm F4.0-5.6 and I quite like it, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near the same class as the Oly 50-200SW F2.8-3.5. As I purchased my 45-200 for $199.00 + tax, I wouldn't...

I don't suppose that you would have the opportunity to compare it to the Panasonic 40-200, would you?

It definitely takes some fiddling around to get the shots you want out of shooting bikes with the E-M5 and you set yourself a tough task shooting Moto GP, but you definitely got some that I'd have...

Good to see someone else trying the E-M5 on race bikes. Sounds like you had much the same experience that I did; good quality pics when they worked, but a low keeper rate. I had my best luck with...

Being left eye dominant I was constantly triggering the stupid thing with my nose, so I turned it off.

That might have been the case, had my index finger been anywhere in the neighbourhood of the shutter button. It wasn't, but the camera still appeared to be focusing.D620L -> D540 -> C750UZ -> ...

Pit Lane Exit - Saturday Pit Lane Exit - Sunday D620L -> D540 -> C750UZ -> E-500 -> E-510 -> E-3 -> E-5 + E-30 + E-P2 + E-M5

Our regional racing organization had their last round, this past weekend, so I go into hibernation for a few months once again. Well after I produce my third annual photobook, that is.The rain and...

Shooting video would be the most common use. I found it fairly useful when I did a brief test of HD video shooting of motorcycles, at the track. All that I had to worry about with the 12-50mm was...

That presupposes that said pro has a need for a 400mm F2.8. We're also both two body carriers. You might be surprised what some working pros use. They don't all walk around with a bunch of howitzer...
