Gear obsession is to photography what foot fetishism is to marital life.

It's not "interesting", it's trite.

Also, love = good, war = bad.

Why don't you focus on the pictures, instead of trying to start a brand war? Grow up, people.

You really believed you need a super-modern camera to take great pictures?

Seeing DPR readers fight over a Gold or Silver award, as if they were a bunch of 8-year olds, is pretty funny. "Mine is better", "no, mine", "it's not fair", "look at his, it's worse", "my dad said...

Or maybe "Junior" honestly thought this lens is worth a Silver award.

Yeah I know, that sound outlandish.

Precisely, I shoot for fun, and carrying that kind of lens is not fun (even carrying around my D7100 and few lenses was too much of a hassle to me). Obviously, MFT has its (relative) limitations,...

This lens reminds me why I shoot MFT.

@Kostasm: sorry, I meant that real bokeh is 'fake' too, in the sense that it doesn't represent reality accurately. I have no issue with fake fake bokeh, as long as it's similar to real fake bokeh ;-)

I don't think you're limited to "family snaps" with an iPhone (or another good phone, but for some reason DPR is laser-focused on the iPhone). It's just that in some conditions, pictures will start...

Well, bokeh e.g. is always "fake". To me, software that swap the sky or change the light and mood completely are more annoying.

Nice pictures. Bokeh is getting better, which is great.

Stupid question: why are "full-screen" pictures not full-screen at all? What am I doing wrong?

My Xiaomi takes amazing macro pictures, but ophtalmologists don't buy Xiaomi phones I guess.

One must be... shall we say "not well versed in history"... to think that the word "tyranny" belongs in a discussion about battery chargers.

@Marcelino: This is a website, not a democracy. If I ran a website and spotted trolls, I'd ban them immediately. They would be totally free to express themselves on their own site, however.

As to...

@bernier r: He didn't say he cannot afford them, only that they are "insanely more expensive". He also stated specifically what he doesn't like, while your reply is devoid of information.

In the "sense and knowledge left today in the general population" category, it's not the "damage from prolonged vibrations on bolts, nuts and screws" subcategory that worries me the most, to be...

If only "High-power or high-volume motorcycle engines" messed only with iPhones... I swear I hate them and their noise.
