Blast, 11 more days and it would have been a 12 years old thread... Now we have to reset the counter again :)

Be that as it may - I don't condone a philosophy of " Small and light at all costs ", and that's where it seems to be going right now. And to me, it is a mistake in philosophy, and in direction to ...

Part 2 : The main hint from this thread is that there is "... un certain malaise ..." in our little Oly world, and Mr Wrotniak's opinion was the catalyst for us to each vent our own. As far as I'm ...

My writing tending to be on the long side, I'll split my post in two parts :) Part 1 : I think we shouldn't take Mr Wrotniak's rant out of context - it is mostly about a specific event, which I ...

Will they be fixing the lens tool ?

And who did it :) Conurus ?

One thing that everybody (and Sigma too, but probably on purpose) overlooks is that the DPm series could have been the ULTIMATE studio cameras for peanut money, if not for the lack of any ...

Is a chopping axe included ? Are the arm and the leg to be sent directly to Gitzo ?

I'm convinced it was not even weight saving. I think it was about price. We all talk about MMF-3 vs MMF-1, but who remembers the MMF-2 ? Olympus first released the MMF-1 - a solid chunk of metal ...

Just twice the US rate ??? With all the other goodies to make up for it ?!? Just watch "Race for the Yankee Zephyr" while googling "CRX SiR Glassroof" :-D Make sure you have subtitles and a Mute ...

Then again, a doctor showing in your newborn's room and saying " Wow, so beautiful, can I hold her ? " doesn't end up costing you $2100 because this was a visiting doctor and was not covered by ...

I'm a master at that. All it takes is transporting the camera with a (longish) lens attached (12-60mm isn't long enough) though in a regular (non-camera) backpack.

It does display it on my Bigma. That's the 4/3 Sigma 50-500mm f:4-6.3 EX DG HSM released in 4/3 mount in 2006. This is as far away as it gets from native m43 lenses. I'll try with a Panasonic lens ...

You are hereby prohibited from shooting any landscape anymore from your window, terrace, roof, backyard or such, unless you walk around the block 17 times first, your photo gear on your back, a...

Define "old zoom lens" ? It does display it with my12-60mm SWD. Also with my Bigma. So I'd guess it does with any lens it can electronically communicate with. But that's beyond the point. Olympus ...

What are you talking about :) All this info is already available and used by the camera. My E-M1mk2 (and the previous version as well) already knows perfectly well what the current focal length is ...

Why nope on landscape ? Any rules against it ?
What about nightscapes ? An extra stop in a dark street counts for nothing ?
What about starscapes ? A few more seconds before stars start leaving...

Just the realities of the market. The E-M1ii's msrp price is $1699 now (it's been easy to find new on Ebay from HK and Korea for $1500 for at least an year now), the 12-40mm f:2.8 is five-six ...

In scenario A - yes, that's what happens.
In scenario B - you need a specific tool, and you use it when you need it. I can't see how this lens not fitting your specific needs makes it a useless...

And they can do exactly not what this lens can do.

Haul around an m43 kit with all the f:1.2 primes that would be needed to emulate this one (get close, not reach, as we don't have AF f:1 primes...
