Let's not forget their ..unique camera naming system, once that is clear the Oly menus are a breeze! On a saner note, their dual IS can be found on more lens combinations at this point compared to ...

GX7.ii =GX85 by another name, also gx80. The GX9 is GX7.iii in Japan. It's the worst property of Lumix m43 cameras :-| I tried the gx85 twice, thinking i should just get past my issues and love it. ...

..aren't "half the existing F-mount lenses" manual focus?

I want full apostasy :-| and let my beloved pentax gear go elsewhere, and picked up a reshuttered d600. I hated to do it but I accept that I cannot stop buying Pentax gear of all sorts, which ...

Some of my favorite shots came with a K-5 and 28/2.8 Rikenon. Perhaps a da21 or older 24/28mm lens on your aps.c body would serve? I also agree with the gx7+20/1.7 m43 combo mentioned earlier. Very ...

I have the f/4.7-5.6 FA80-200, silver and internal zoom. It serves me well, though your samples are as good or better than what I've shot. Nice! I wish they would have spent $20 more and just made ...

Hm - KAF4 will not work well with elder Pentax APSc models, as the electronic aperture is not supported by models such as the K-5. Transitions suck.

"As of its launch, the KAF4 is only compatible...

The original plan of usb was to allow 'daisy chain' connections between devices. The fact that this sounds novel makes my Atari 800 seem like its time has arrived.

Picked up a silver k200 and 18-50re for under $100 total. Hard to beat for a foul-weather rig!! I added silver FAs 28-90 & 80-200 (the slow one) for $20, just for the look of them :-)

Pentax is more HH full color mode, no resolution boost. Sufficient for my needs but pixel junkies will not be satisfied.

I hate this micro4:3 conversion game for closeups. What is the ratio of sensor mm to subject mm at closest focus, that's how macro is derived - stop giving two numbers (worse yet, just one with no...

Harder to lose the orange one, but I'd manage to do it somehow :-o I liked the look of the brown-gold GX7.ii but they stayed away from the USA.

The GX1 is quite small, talented & easy to find for a low price. It can also be hacked easily for higher audio/video performance. I owned a GM1 for a bit, but my mid-size hands needed more room.

It hurts my brain that the X-T 200 does not use the X-T rans array. Not that I understand anyone else's naming conventions, but I had hoped that someone would do it right some day. Today is not...

Lost in the mists of time, Rikenon XR 70-150/4. Back to their roots!

My old gx1 made a 1+ hour video last year, no problem. Yes it's split into 3 files but the camera did this with no intervention on my part.  It sounds like a big deal but it really was no issue, ...

I wish they had at least two kazoos for the theme song, however..

I definitely had better overall IQ with the DA40.. DA40 in North Cascades along PCNST - larch season! Yet in '99 the M40 was my sole lens on a light X-C jaunt through the Sierra! Palisades from ...

It still hurts that I fell for the salesman's incompetence /pitch when he was unable to get my smc-m 40 pancake to work on the Pentax body (200d?) In 2008/9. I shot Pentax from 1980-2000 then ...

I picked up a k200d for under $100 recently, reliving the dream ;-)
