Englishman in France

Thank you very much for the compliment, it is really appreciated.

Thanks for the really interesting reply.  I initially thought the choice of materials on the E-M5 mkiii was a shame as well, but those magnesium alloy bodies quite heavy.  It looks like an ...

It sounds like you waited until the GX7 came out before upgrading the GF1. It was a very good replacement. My GF1 is still going strong too. My eldest daughter somtimes uses it, and I take it ...

I knew you liked the Olympus Pen series! It was the lack of EVF that stopped me getting a E-P5, but I really like its rangefinder styling.  I would have chosen the Pen F if it had been a similar ...

Yikes, that's a lot!  Why so many changes ? And I felt guilty about buying the E-M5 mki because the GF1 was still a perfectly good working camera!

I have been using M43 cameras for over 10 years now, starting with a GF1, then an EM5 mki, an EM10 mki, and finally a EM5 mkii. Choosing my first mirrorless camera was a no brainer back then, ...

The gentleman in the second shot is going to win a lot of prizes.  I like the duck shots too.  You can invent your own stories behind them.

A very nice experiment and drinking game.  I like the way the wine has focused the image in the second, but my favourite has got to be the flute.

That's a really nice series.  The first one makes me smile with the vegetable stall outside the farm.  My favourite is with out a doubt number 3;  an interesting subject and a great composition.  ...

You are absolutely right.  I was worried that the ball of fur on the seat would not be identifiablen but it is a better photo. (I do like the odd things that people leave outside their house.  That ...

As everyone else has mentioned, #2 has is really nice with wonderfull colours and light.  I really like the last as well, with the dramatic clouds.  A very nice set.

I am getting vertigo just looking at the photo and imagining doing that !

What a beautiful garden and view.  As NVC commented, I like the pastel colours too.

This series is themed, and specially dedicated to Yaelle.

That second shot is a stunner.  Well captured.

It's a ratio.  It corresponds to an aperture size that is 35.7% of the focal length.  And, well, a ratio is a ratio.  It's difficult to argue otherwise, unless you are bad at mathematics. So many ...

The EM5 mkii is a major upgrade for everything except IQ.  I own both....my mki broke so got a cheap mkii without lens. It is a very nice upgrade, and you should be able to find a cheap one quite ...

I could see the option to still shoot M43 gear, but didn't see the option which specifically read PANASONIC.  Not wanting to stereotype Olympus shooters, as I shoot an Olympus too, but, ahem, you ...

Congratulations.  A great set. It is really interesting to see which photos you picked out of your rather impressive portfolio.  You have the knack for observing and capturing the unusual.  Well ...

The two lenses are very different from each other. If you know what your needs are, then the choice should be very simple. I have the 12-40mm and while it is a useful lens, it often gets left at ...
