DPReview isn’t BBC HARDtalk, tough guy. The site did pretty well to ask such questions in the first place. And the answers tell us quite a bit.

For what it’s worth, Ricoh GR Digital IV DNG files look pretty awful after default Aperture conversion (and very different from the in-camera JPEGs, though those are poor in other ways). So I doubt...

In the meantime, I trust Adobe is enjoying the “dialogue”, eh?

In happier days.

When Microsoft started getting clever with Office for Mac I discovered upon reflection that I didn’t actually need Office at home. Adobe risks a similar fate with this move.

The best option for...

And I suppose the answer would be: compared to a lens of the same headline specifications, size, and cost as the LX7 lens, but with everything including distortion corrected optically as well as...

There’s a missing m. Selling film is still a profitable business, after all – just far less so than it once was.

I think the synergy is that both pensioners and Personalized Imaging are heading off into the sunset.

Why does every new Samsung sport yet another design? The company is downright schizophrenic!

Sorry for calling Canada the US in my reply above.

The human fovea has an angle of view of about 2 degrees: much less than a 50 mm-e lens. And as you note, our peripheral vision encompasses vastly more than a 50 mm-e lens.

A 50 mm-e lens in no way...

I agree the human eye in no way has a similar angle of view to a 50 mm-e lens (how could anyone who’s ever considered the matter think that?). But nor does it have a similar amount of distortion as...

Europe never has massive price reductions like those in the US, but the secondhand prices are obviously dropping fast – spurred on by a sudden glut of GR Digital IVs on the market as owners sell to...

Nice name. Nice focal lengths. Nice lenses. Not so sure about the projected prices, but I haven't yet handled these lenses. Do they feel like premium lenses?

Another one: page ten talks about the Panasonic GH3.

Of the three latest LX-series cameras, the LX7 has the worst wide-angle distortion by far – necessary to squeeze such a fast and sharp lens into such a small package (barely bigger than the LX5,...

Check your user guide for the “Lens Resume” feature, which remembers the last-used zoom position at startup. The LX7 is a highly refined camera with not much left to greatly improve. It would be...

Well, you’re half-right: it’s sheer something or other. Maybe it passes for poetry down under? Thankfully Panasonic continues to make the LX-series for manly men. And don’t get me wrong: I think...

Good work, cheers for that. I know what it's like to get info out of these guys.

Slightly pricey. Let’s see what it’s like in Europe.
