Hi! If You're really in Doha now , please say hello from us to Big Yellow Monster /His Ugliness in the middle of terminal :) ;) Everybody photographs that funny artifact, I think. BTW, it's Qatar, ...

I also had it with my E-PL1. However, I supposed it's a kind of malfunction of IS. Usually (not always!) IS icon was red up to 0.5-1 minute after switching on the camera, then was going ...

P. L. 15/1.7 could be also good. I've started with (mentioned here) 14/2.5 for budget reasons, but ended up with 17/1.8 finally. This is my most used prime. It's just very versatile FL. Not too ...

To be honest, I'm personally not the user of it. This is mostly because I've chosen 14-150 for it's flexibility. But if I would go for 2 zoom solution, my current set would be P.12-60/3.5-5.6 + P. ...

Look for Panasonic 45-175/3.5-5.6. Often forgotten lens -Very light, around 200g, only slightly heavier than O. 40-150 and significantly lighter than P. 45-200 -Small size -Better optical quality ...

Have You noticed, what half of the responders in the thread replied imediately? Take EM1 II-III, buy 100-400 etc. In the OP post he simply wrote he has just E-M10, wants to buy 40-150 and he's ...

Because as others said it's not trailing. You have perfectly round stars in the midle above  the hut and I doubt they're near Polar Star ;) But I don't think this is decentered lens only (could be ...

If by 40-150 You mean 40-150/4.0-5.6, not its F/2.8 counterpart, I suggest You to look after Panasonic 45-175/3.5-5.6. Good quality, not expensive, but little more tele range useful for wildlife. ...

I don't have GX85 and I'm generally Oly user, but I'll try to help a little. NR - You mean noise reduction? This option definitely would work only with frames longer then 1 " or so. So it's grayed ...

Note, manual focusing for night sky photography is a little bit tricky. Don't trust any presets here. Use them just for initial prefocusing, to avoid totally defocused image at the begining of the ...

Hi! I did some "aurora" trips to the North, but Scandinavia, not Alaska ;) Some of them even BC skiing/snowshoening :) Considering Your current lens set, You do need a new one. Any fast wide angle ...

Hurrying up for the bus on the way for backpacking Easter trip to the woods. Empty streets, no people. In the midle of the sidewalk a hedgehog is fighting with a magpie, right now! Camera stored ...

I must admit I didn't recognised Your (and bs1946 below) point correctly. Now I see more clearly, that You speak about full automatic activation of AF assist with snapping ring only. Now I recall ...

Well, I actually used (for some time) the neck strap as a cross-shoulder strap, when I was using thin neoprene cover for camera only instead of a bag. But: I had to add slinging section to it. Why? ...

I use sling tether (15cm / 6")  to a slinging carabiner clipped into the strap of camera bag (into double part/ lenght regulating loop - prevents any jamming of the slinging element). Camera is ...

This is a camera menu issue. I've used 17/1.8 on 2 different Oly cameras and in each I had to make different settings to really engage  MF assist with lens MF ring. MF itself was switching on ...

Ups, my mistake. I've checked again and You're  right. I didn't used my 14/2.5 for long time. I may projected well known info about 20/1.7 for that second lens. The rest about 20/1.7 is still ...

Good point. There's another solution to protect moving module of 20/1.7 (and 14/2.5 too): As my primes (14/2.5, 17/1.8, 12/2.0) have smaller filter threads than my general purpose zoom (14-150, ...

This is the introduction date of Laowa 7.5/2.0. Nowadays You have also brand new Laowa 10/2.0 and from some time Laowa 9/2.8 (adapted from APS-C). There are also some other lenses, less known or ...
