dunno if I'll have any contenders this time, but at least getting back in the groove. -- Art P "I am a creature of contrast, of light and shadow. I live where the two play together, I...

they don't really want to sell the hoods, let alone give them away. So they say, 'OK, if you /really/ want that hood, go ahead and pay the price, but you didn't really want it, did you? Say, go...

that protrudes into the back of the lens/adapter. If that pin is not seated, the sensor won't have power (although menu and such will work) Not so much a fault w the camera, but perhaps a safety...

Seems strange you can only program > and \\/ why not the other two? Also, would be nice to program the dial on the landscape grip seperately from the one on the body. I'm sure I'll think of more...

the 60mm macro from Olympus (after the 75/1.8) And the 35-100 from Panny (after the 12-35) As to roadmaps, the 100mm macro was on the 4/3 roadmap for ages, lot of good that did. Possibly...

Never had an E-30 Had the E-520, w 12-60 and 70-300 as my primary lenses. Been borrowing a 520, so I haven't been totally w/o, but suffering along w 40-150 MkI -- Art P "I am a creature of...

Well, gotta show it's actually here. dpr://galleries/905375147/photos/1983600 Taken w the 45mm and my favorite window BTW, it did come w a printed manual, and both camera and lens were already...

You say go buy a lens, don't worry about the price, but don't say what it will be used for. I think I'd go buy the 75-300 because it's smaller/lighter than the 100-400 I have, but double the...

OK, shot a few pix w the OM-D, popped the card in my HP printer (primary card reader) and it comes up card error. Tried the backup reader and it won't read the card either. Works fine in the...

Likely be the last of the line w the sensor of the OM-D, tweaked and refined That is, if you can hold out w what you have long enough... -- Art P "I am a creature of contrast, of light and...

No, my black 12-60 kit was not in yet, but would I want a silver? So, I'm picking it up tonight! prepaid order on 4/19, local camera store I'll ask if they have any extras and post here if...

you'll need a Pen to m43 adapter, as the old Pem mount was different than the OM mount -- Art P "I am a creature of contrast, of light and shadow. I live where the two play together, I...

To get the price down to $600? To $400? Plastic body? Lower resolution? F 2.8? On the other hand, how much extra would you pay for weather sealing? -- Art P "I am a creature of...

they don't actually want to sell a bunch of these? Like the 150 F2 and 300 F2.8, the 75 is designed for the seect few who need it, rather than the masses. The masses get the more moderate in...

I'll get both, Until then, neither Although either would fill that gap between 50mm and 100mm, that's not a priority now. Actually, have enough to cover my needs, and wants don't rate the...

Appreciate the thought, and the fresh perspective. Sometimes I get too caught up in what I'm seeing to look beyond to what I might see. One change I might make to your crop is to clone out the...

I would question that statement... at least for my style of macro: handheld, existing light, lens stopped down. A tripod is not always practical moving through flowers or grass, and it's more than...

I'm sure there is a way to do it. Checked the manual, and doesn't say anything about removal... does say you shouldn't use the lens to start fires,r break concrete or hold up heavy weights...

(LH-55B) is the one specified by Olympus for the 12-50 Knock-offs are available through the usual channels -- Art P "I am a creature of contrast, of light and shadow. I live where the two...

Howabout a 23mm F2? (or there abouts) Why 23mm? 14mm + 3 = 17mm + 3 = 20mm + 3 = 23mm The first three exist, just continuing the sequence (OK, next in like is the 25mm 1.4, but that's a...
