    PL 10-25 F1.7 $1797

    Someone will correct me, but I believe that video shooters cares more about vignette, distortion and aberration than about sharpness. Any time the camera pans about, those flaws pops out like mad. It would be the other way around whereby it is far easier to correct and edit still images. I...

    Panasonic S Series full frame release!!!

    I was hoping for a tiny bit of information on a certain UWA fast zoom and actually day dreaming on a surprise announcement of that as well...

    High-Res for Landscapes makes NO difference

    I never claimed being immune to that. I will not speculate on whether or not you are, but it's hard for me not to think that you are actually projecting.

    High-Res for Landscapes makes NO difference

    The normal reply would be to ask why do you even bother participating on a gear forum in the first place it it's not your cup of tea. To educate us on real values in life? But I wont play that card. Here's my answer : you don't get to decide who wins the argument.

    You just resumed his logic : he is trying to reframe the debate so he can win the argument.

    The proof for the need of a square sensor?

    The cost increase of a sensor follows a cubic asymptotic behaviour. This is why FF cost so much yet so little compared to MF. That said an extra 33% on a 43 chip may not concretely represent a whole lot more , but it is not linear. With that said, I suspect that deploying such chip in a camera...

    The proof for the need of a square sensor?

    One of the reason I keep reading on why having a square sensor is for shooting portraits. I don't want to sound conceited here, but I holding camera upright in portrait mode is a fairly easy technique to learn. A square sensor sounds like overkill to me. For whatever my opinion is worth...

    What you miss the most in the m4/3 system?

    I somehow have the feeling that Panasonic and Olympus are currently going all in on higher end models. I don't see any new GF / EPL forth coming....

    What you miss the most in the m4/3 system?

    I get it and I think the same way : not every one wants, let alone can have the right format for the right lens. Most m43 users only uses m43 and that's it. I would not buy a dedicated 35mm for more blur on TS lenses and that's why the option is cool. I have been avoiding equivalency debates...

    A week in Stockholm with only a 20mm F1.7?

    Jag skulle vilja åker en gång till "ditt" stad trots systembolagets är dyrt ;)

    A week in Stockholm with only a 20mm F1.7?

    There is more to Stockholm than the old island. Obviously a must see on a week trip, but then it's small and quickly walked thru. With that said, it would be interesting to see how limiting it truly is. I never travel with specific compositions in mind well planned ahead of time and with that in...

    Germany - where should I go?

    Art is not all about beauty. It can be, but it's not a must. "sublime" is the jargon in philosophy of aesthetics for the powerful representation in art form of the ugly, the horrible, etc. And indeed, well done photos of a concentration camp can be striking.

    Germany - where should I go?

    An der Mosel! Wonderful landscapes and great wines as well.

    Release date of Panasonic 10-25 f1.7?

    I never swap primes thinking "I specifically need 25mm" . Maybe that's me having the mentality of a "zoom user" if there is such thing, but I simply pick whatever prime at my disposal that I believe will cover the most tightly the composition I have in mind at the moment. In that line of...
