Hi, Rebecca! As Your consideration is between E-PL10 and GX880, I guess You don't care about EVF at all in favour of generally smaller camera body. It's not my approach (I've changed long ago my ...

-Is Your articulating screen opens to the left? -Are You right handed? If so, go on: My solution (I'm slightly left handed bud don't have articualting screen) is a sling tether to camera bag + ...

Like few other in this thread, I'm also a mountain hiker. Definitely zoom of good range will have advantage in landscape photography of such complex scenery. Although it's possible to go for a ...

I think You're right, alcelc . I think the reason is that the problem is not actual air temperature, but more sun operation. Objects (like camera or its bag, surfaces we put our equipment on) will ...

So we know already it was fresh water (good) and You're still in travel (not good - limited drying option.) OK. If camera was not submerged (wasn't) and was not splashed too much (we dont't know) ...

Hi! I was using WP equipment for kayaking mostly, so I'm the kind of similar user profile. Currently using WP compact (Panasonic FT4). Long time a go I was using soft bag fo my original compact ...

Hi! Reindeer, nothing else. Just without antlers this part of the year, so the confusion I guess. There are no goats or caribou at Svalbard. I was to Svalbard too, last summer before covid. There's ...

I think "no". Even if weather sealed stuff can survive accidental downpour, there's no guarantee severe rinsing is safe. This kind of seling makes penetration of water inside only harder, not ...

Hi, Darrin! I understand Your dissapointment. From Your previous posts  I know already that Your final goal is IR adaptation. You wrote about issues with m4/3 wide zooms, like 8-18 etc. What did ...

From the same catalogue: https://www.rmaelectronics.com/kowa-lm8xc/ detailed graphics: https://www.rmaelectronics.com/content/Kowa-Lenses/LM8XC.pdf From this picture, 37 mm criterium is fullfilled. ...

Well, it could be expected. However, maybe You'll find an alternative. The most precious info from this thread is that short FL C-mount lenses designed for sensors 4/3" size do exist. To adapt for ...

Are You joking, Bob? The problem is, that the lens we discuss has too big diameter to fit any adapter, that is actually recessed inside the m4/3 bayonet opening. This is necessary because of ...

I've just compared it with my C-mount adapter and the m4/3 bayonnet. Mine adapter differs slightly from Yours, but it doesn't matter. There's no room to machine the adapter to fully fit the lens ...

Well, it's shocking new for me, but true. The lens specification explains everything: https://www.rmaelectronics.com/zeiss-dimension-2-8-8-4-3-8mm/ Now I understand You! This lens is just designed ...

At f/22 You should have a lot of diffraction, that explains the soft image probably, but I really doubt You have infinity focus at all. You're very close, but... Probably just DOF plays role with ...

It really doesn't matter at all . Just forget it, avoid as a plague. The specification of capacity here has nothing to do with reality, so this is not trusty product in any way.  Probably a cheap ...

This is common problem with some lenses at C-mount adapters. They (adapters) have to be recessed. Otherwise - no infinity focus. Sometimes the aft end of the lens barrel has too big diameter to fit ...

Good point, just different method of extra protection. My strategy at those times was covering camera bag under jacket only for minor rain. When  started raining heavily, I always stoped and put ...
