I have the M mount 10mm Voigtlander and a friend has the E mount version. We tried putting both on his A9 and could not see any difference. Just a quick test, nothing rigorous, but we decided they ...

As others have said, read the Phillip Reeve website, which has lots of good advice. If you are happy with manual on an adapter, my guess is that the best solution depends on what happens to be on ...

Ditto again to the grey and often invisible focus point, because the necessary fix must be trivially easy to implement. Bright yellow perhaps?

I don’t know about the flash mentioned here, but I have never tried vintage (i.e. film era) flashes on a digital camera because I had been told that voltages were different, and might damage the ...

Remember the crop factor is a major limitation. You will get half the field of view due to the smaller sensor size. Your 50mm will give the same coverage as 100mm. So if you like wide-angle, the ...

A cheap L bracket, the bottom of which aligns with the bottom of the TAP, and then put a tripod QR plate on that.

Thanks for this. I had thought that, even if they had plans to integrate them further in due course, making it easy to export to Nik would have been so easy it would have been done. But their ...

I have been trying DXO Photolab and, given that they have taken over Nik (and I do have the DXO versions of Nik software) I am surprised at how difficult it is to use Nik from within Photolab. I ...

I also like the TAP, though try to use it only with very small lenses, so as not to risk it dropping forwards as some people have found. Mostly OM manual lenses. The one lens where it failed was a ...

They were amazingly quick. 4 days after receiving the camera at Nottingham (UK), it reached their repair facility in Lisbon (Portugal). The following day it was repaired and returned via DHL, who ...

Thanks. This is very encouraging. I had assumed they would have sent me an email to confirm when it arrived, but I just logged on to the Olympus site and to my surprise (because they sent me no ...

Does anyone have any experience of how quick Olympus (UK) are in completing repairs on MFT cameras. I sent one off last week, and am wondering how long I will be without it, assuming I respond ...

I stand corrected on what is behind the sensor, though in the cutout it still looks more than you need in a film camera. Thanks for the cutout. Thanks for reminding me of the phrase flange ...

I agree that for most scratches it is better to accept that the lens has what dealers call "signs of use." However, I had one incident when the tripod shoe, with a QR place on it, rubbed against ...

If you want something similar to an OM1 in size, try a Sony A7 (or A7II etc, though these are a bit bigger), a dumb adapter (eg Novoflex) and vintage OM lenses. I haven’t got a tape measure or ...

I think only you can decide whether it is worth having a second system, because there are lots of factors involved. I have used Sony for ages, and not that long ago invested in the A7R3. Its image ...

Most points have been covered, but one point to note is that shorter focal length OM Zuikos generally have fins on the back, which need to be modified to use with Speedboosters. On dumb adapters ...

I have since managed to answer my own question, by saving all settings to a computer and then doing a full reset in the camera. It seems the answer is that the colour filter is set to Red +3. I ...

I too use varifocals and have no issues. The viewfinder goes naturally to the distance vision part of the glasses and the dioptre adjustment is fine in the middle. Your choice of prescription will ...

I guess greater precision is what you pay extra for. Interesting that 0.1mm can make a difference.
