Filters can certainly protect against knocks, but those who don't like them would say that a lens hood will work just as well, without compromising image quality. But I go for Hoya Protector ...

You have the option of applying star ratings in camera, quick using a custom button, so when you download, you could tag downloaded photos with, say 1 star, leaving you 2-5 stars for anything else ...

The speed of Topaz AI products depends critically on the processor. You have the choice of using CPU or GPU (if available) and it is well worth checking their minimum and recommended ...

I have used a Techart Pro (Leica M) on both an A7II and an A7RIII, and it works well, and I would expect the same to hold for an A7RII, though I have not tried that. I have used OM Zuikos (lots of ...

My advice would be, after drying the camera as folks have suggested, if it doesn't work, try it with a different battery. If it does not work after drying, it is possible that it is just the ...

I use Sony FF and MFT. The Sony is great for landscapes and when I feel like using adapted manual lenses (mostly OM Zuikos) as I can use them all without any "crop factor." FF also works well with ...

Thanks for all the advice, though I am not sure it resolves the problem. :-) The nearest to a consensus seems to be that the A9 and E-M1.2 are both sufficiently good at autofocus that the decision ...

I hadn't thought of this because I already have quite a lot of Oly lenses and I assumed I'd get more stability with an Oly body+lens combination.

Thanks. I fully accept that technique is the most important factor, and maybe I am kidding myself that a different camera would make a difference, but there have been occasions where I just ...

Right now I use a mixture of Sony (42mp is great for landscapes) and E-M5.2 (when I want something more portable). But neither is good for birds or bugs when they are flying. The AF is not fast ...

Even the Olympus OM-D E-M5II has left/right eye selection. We can dream about having an upgrade that allows changing the color of the focus marker. It would be a MAJOR improvement in usability. ...

Given what people have said about the advantage of the A9 for BIF, would the same hold for the A6x00 cameras that are said to have the same autofocus as the A9? I use an a7RIII (great for ...

I have found that for some images Sharpen AI works brilliantly (I can't say better than anything else out there, as I haven't tried them all) but sometimes much better than sharpening in LR or C1. ...

A bit off topic but I once dropped a new Pen-F on to concrete. I had put a cheap wrist strap on it, and it came undone, so when my arm went down, the camera dropped from around knee height. A dent ...

Everyone seems to be assuming a camera on a tripod is completely still. I can think of occasions when I have used a tripod but there is wind and it is hard to keep a very long lens completely ...

If you are new to adapted lenses, there is a lot of great advice on which ones to go for on Philip Reeve’s web site. Many old lenses still work well, but not all of them do.

This has been my experience too. I have not done systematic testing, but I sometimes forget to turn it off when using a tripod and rarely notice any difference. Sometimes I forget to turn IS off, ...

I have just tried the app on an old MacBook Air, and though Imaging Edge makes the fan work hard, it all seems to work. I had a similar problem with an A7II, but then I tried with an A7RIII, and ...

The conversion services offered may not be useful to anyone outside the UK, but the website infraredcamearaconversions.co.uk contains a lot of useful information, including answers to several ...

Unless I have missed something, it ALMOST works smoothly with Capture One, but a simple modification (or it seems simple to me) would have made it work nicely. In C1, go to Image/Edit with, and ...
