A very good set, thanks for sharing it. Where did you shoot the aurora?

This. It happens a lot to me, too. I think that another factor at play is that one can assume that there is less risk with trusting an expensive camera to someone who is already holding one. ...

I am always fascinated by the variety of approaches to photography. Today I discovered the existence of panorama format camera. Thanks for pointing out these links.

Hi Loga, very clear. I have formed my mind, now it's up to him :-) Francesco

Hi Msnap, the link is very useful. I agree with you, it was the first thing that I told my friend. I will explain to him the effect of sensor size on the field of view. Now hopefully I have enough...

Thanks Loga, you have been very clear! I have learned something with your explanation of the "D" lens. When you refer to legacy lenses you are thinking to something like a Canon FD, is it correct?...

Ulric you are completely right :-) But my friend is actually looking for a gift for a friend of him (she is the owner of the gh2) and he's asking me for advice since he knows that I'm into...

Hi, I tried searching the forum but didn't find an answer. Please point me to relevant thread(s) if they exist! A friend of mine is looking for a 50mm f/1.4 lens for a Panasonic GH2, and asked me...

Hi Howard, thanks for the reply. I understand very well the difference between the capability of a monitor and the output that one can attain on paper: but I don't understand the first part of your...

Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I have not been able to find this topic by searching: but please point me to relevant threads if I missed them. I have a Canon Pro 9500 mark II, I use a...

both are wonderful but require not so short train journeys which would reduce the available time to few hours. I agree with both destination but I'd like even more to +1 the advice about Orvieto...

Basically if you have time you can go in a lot of wonderful places near Rome. Each of them would probably be a wonderful place by itself and it's only because of the amount of art, historical...

You can find a vast array of unique plances/things in Rome, so it depends on what you are looking for. Maybe you already have some idea? From what I see of the tourist tours, it is possible to...

And, as far as you can tell, the Leitz summicron 50 f/2 is one of "those" lenses?

I see, good point So there's no solution and I fear that you will really have to wait for the "eternity" to unfold.:-)

You can always use that time to read the manual! .... ;-)

Thanks Cadder :-)Francesco
