f/2.8 is fast on any system. What it is not as much on m4/3 is shallow. DOF, not brightness, is affected by crop factor.

Perhaps it's because too many "photographers" simply post images online these days, but nobody considers print sizes (and specifically their aspect ratios) when discussing equivalence (or crop...

"non-mirrorless" ... awesome! I'm off to eat some non-fat-free potato chips and drinks some non-sugarless soda. ;-)

It's not horrible orange, it's stylish copper! ;-)

It's not competitors; it's the saturation of the relatively small high willingness to pay early adopter market. Once those who either really need the lens or have disposable income and like to be...

While still less, $600 17 years ago is equivalent to roughly $900 now (after adjusting for inflation.) You're also talking about a third-party lens vs. an OEM one. Plus, the 35-100mm f/2.8 is...

Just have to say that your second paragraph is both funny and poetic. I don't often say this about random comments, but very well written!

See, now imagine how much more isolated those double rears would have been on a FF shot. Aren't you glad he use m4/3 now? ;-)

(Note: since he use f/4.6 on a f/2.8 max lens, he actually chose not...

Forpetessake, the G5 and OM-D are not comparable cameras, nor are they priced as such (roughly 30% lower for G5.) The upcoming GH3 will be more comparable to the OM-D (though, it will likely have...

Two additional comments:

1) I don't care for the composition of many of his shots.

2) Comparing 100% crops, the noise seen in the jpegs on the website is at least a stop worse than what I find in...

I'm a m4/3 user and I completely agree with this.

Mirrorless cameras in general and m4/3 in particular are newer, growing systems that are constantly evolving. DSLRs, too, are evolving, but at...

I recently purchased a used 14-42mm PZ from another member over at mu-43, who had verified that the copy did not suffer from the double image problem. Once I received it, I double checked by...
