Just bracketing, I had hopes in-camera stacking would be added via firmware update, but that never happened.

This was very interesting. As primarily a portrait and landscape photographer, I approach focal lengths differently. For instance, I tend to think of how focal length (expressed as camera-subject...

The light does not halve when you double the distance. It is cut by 75%. That's what the "square:" part of the inverse square law means and that's why doubling the distance means a difference of...

Jordan, I guess when you lay out $10,000 for a camera that will impress clients, you can convince yourself, too. ;-)

I've aways liked playing around with pinhole photography and its unique properties. In fact, I developed and marketed the first laser cut pinhole accessories in the early 80s (distribution and...

This was a quickie garage headshot. I didn't edit the catchlight here, but I often do in many cases, even when using studio lights (I don't like the donut highlight from a beauty...

It's a pretty old idea, which was popularized years ago for shooting headshots in the open door of a garage. I can't find the link now, but a successful LA headshot photographer had a nice video on...

Thanks. It's my favorite photo from my time in Vietnam.

I saw a guy shooting with one of these at an outdoor concert in a nearby park a couple of weeks ago. I recognized the camera and when I asked about it, found out he had been using it to shoot video...

Placed 7^th in the challenge.

I don't know how good it would be at the task, but this is likely the cheapest 4K you can get with m43 lenses.

True. I'm keeping my 1.7 and not asking for the  upgrade, but the original listing was titled for the 1.4, the description was for the 1.4, the product ID number was for the 1.4 and when I placed ...

I've long thought it would be easy to implement an auto hyperfocal setting. It would be nice if the camera also displayed the near focus distance at the hyperfocal setting for each aperture. I'd ...

I can see this for online retailers who have a lot of products, but not so many that it wouldn't pay to have their own photo setup. It won't work for almost all one-off items or eBay sellers, since...

If you're shooting indoors, you might want to try shooting tethered, with Olympus Capture. In MF mode, it allows you to adjust focus in very small increments, while delivering a large preview image.

Thanks. I finally figured out you have to first remove the decorative front ring.

Mine finally got here. It's the 1.7. Amazon not only has corrected the listing, but also increased the price to $197.99. My first Panasonic lens. It's nice to see it comes with a hood, but how the ...

Amazon has reported my shipment delayed twice now. After a long online chat with "Amazon Logistics"  I got a promise of delivery, which also did not happen. Now they say it may arrive either ...

That's what I'm expecting, but I may keep it anyway, as it would fill a gap in my primes.

After reading that everyone is getting the 1.7, tried to cancel my order, but was told it was being prepared for shipment and "unable to cancel." I guess I'll see what comes on Sunday.
