I still have my FT 9-18mm and an mFT converter, one of my favorite lenses when shooting in 4/3's (E-510 and E-620).  But then I got the 12-50mm as part of the E-M5 kit and haven't been using it...

Lot of love out there for this lens.  Amazon has it for $300 new thru one vendor and $230 used thru...

All I can say is I'm very happy with the lens and would recommend it, especially given its $550 price and very compact size given its range.  This lens, my Pan 20mm and the kit 12-50mm have become...

You must have missed it, they did fix it - it's called the 17mm f1.8. I have the 20mm, picked up a nice used copy for $200.  At the ISO's I generally shoot at (under 3200) I have never once...

D7100 is $1199 body only; unlikely  they could go above that unless they've truly solved tracking action for BIF and sports.  But then, if the E-P5 is $1000 for the body and another $400 for the...

Welcome back to the DPR Forums, Scott...  as you can see, as easy going and cordial as ever :-) . For others, we'll pick this up via email, thanks for your patience.

Hi Scott, good to hear from you.  Many of the shots are at Stonybrook in Norfolk, the herons at a well-hidden swamp in Wrentham. And, yes, I'm a happy camper with this body/lens combination,...

Yes, I'm surprised no one else picked up on this.  Tracking of action for nature and sports photography is the one major fail of mFT relative to DSLR's to date and absolutely has to be remedied for...

I rarely need to use it but love the sense of reassurance it gives me that it's always there, like an insurance policy.  I once spilled literally a drop of coffee onto the top control area of my...

I don't wear glasses but agree completely, love mine and have never had an issue with it dis-lodging. I found the original equipment eyecup annoying given the amount of stray light it would let in,...

Panasonic has been hampered by in-house development /production of sensors that have not been able to catch up to Sony's.  From what I've read they're also saddled with a relatively new...

Hadn't noticed that (10MP), thanks for pointing it out, only so much you can squeeze out of the much smaller optics apparently.  If it seems too good to be true, guess it is! Given that, I'm...

This goes on a bit, maybe treat it like reading the Sunday paper over a cup of coffee, hopefully some useful info. I have the new 75-300mm f.8-6.7, which based on tests in ePhotozine performs a bit...

As an Olympus user I have to say I completely agree with you.  Both companies make some very fine cameras,each with its own slant on features and priorities, a good thing.  I find the new GF6, G6...

Whoops, just noticed you stated this in the header to your post.

It's actually pretty depressing going to the Olympus 4/3's Forum now, once an incredibly vibrant place with many highly experienced photographers sharing their knowledge.  It's a shadow of its...

http://www.amazon.com/Ravelli-Professional-65-inch-Carbon-Release/dp/B004RCHX0W Thanks, Greg, a great price for carbon fiber legs.  Looks like the same head as on the Dolica, how do you find it...

Which Sirui head are you using?  And thanks for your post which, like the others, is helpful. On hiking, what I really mean are my photo jaunts where I might walk a mile on a trail to get to a...

Tongue in cheek :-) ?  Anyhow... 10. Body $1000, kit $1350. 9. Kit weathersealed 12-50mm f2.8-3.5 zoom. 8. Slightly longer body with a less pronounced bump and larger 3.3" OLED. 7. Wi-Fi...

Thoughts by those who have used this $90 2.2 lb. tripod with E-M5/75-300mm or similar body/lens weight (2 lb.) combinations.  It has gotten many positive reviews on Amazon and B&H, but I'd be...
