Stu 5

Surfboard shots are taken with the wrong focal length. Look at the cinema photography of Point Break to see how it should be done. Longer lenses should have been used. I have water skiing shots on...

Agree, the first two are ruined by too shallower DOF. Very distracting. First one needed to be better framed to start with anyway. Last one has the wrong lens selected and the wrong angle. The...

His question might be will it use the illuminator though?

The problem is by using the Canon lenses wide open you are missing the focus point which should be the eyes, not the nose or part of the way in-between. Have you tried using the right eyes, left...

The original purpose was to maintain a bright viewfinder when manually focusing. It was not to use it wide open.

Fast lenses were originally made to allow you to have a brighter viewfinder in low light. They were not sold on the basis of using them wide open. The problem is a lot of FF lenses are not great...

If you are relying on the lens to 'make the image' the image was probably not strong enough in the first place.

We were talking about Canon lenses. You own a Nikon.

That is completely incorrect information. You seem to be suggesting that instead of using for example 1600 iso on a EM-1 you could use 25,600 on the 6D and get the same quality. One small problem...

If you read this it appears that is not the...

Your point is very valid and is what I was wondering as well. I would like to see it tested further on a tripod.

At last someone talking some sense! This is an interesting read and backs up what you are...

Check out the work of Thomas Leuthard. He uses the EM-5 most of the time. If you click on 'Additional info' you can see he uses the 45mm f1.8 an awful lot. Lovely...

I think for fashion the fashion police would have been sent in by now for using such a horrible material in the first place! :-) Being serious though for a moment I don't think a lot of fashion...

I did check that and adjust to get it the best I could. Interestingly though the camera adjust to -4 and I was only one click away from using the max. On my OM-3 which I have just checked it only...

E-M5 says 45mm f1.8 but when you download the files it is a 50mm f2.

Well that would suggest that either the camera I tried had an issue or more likely someone had been playing with the micro focus adjustments... a lot. It explains the image not being sharp in the...

No it is not the same sensor. Olympus have already said this. The DR is different, just look at the Tungsten test Raw samples on this website for 3200, 6400 and 12800. Download them and open them...
