Are there differences in the real world?  It depends on what you see the real world as being.  I would say, very generally, there are no differences.  However, if you work in the world of visual ...

I'm an Acratech fan boy. Pricy but extremely well made. https://www.acratech.net/categories/l-brackets-and-nodal-rails.html

And I bet Canikon are welcoming them with open arms... NOT!

Speaking generally, Olympus has always had good AF but that cannot be said for continuous AF and certainly not tracking.  Perhaps they are catching up to the field with the E-M1X, I don't know.  ...

How much lower will Kodak go?

Actually I post crop vignette a lot for wildlife, plants and portraits, not landscapes or where there is sky or a plane surface.  As you say, it adds mood and focusses attention but I try to keep ...

I suspect all new releases are best sellers for a while but that it beat the a6400 released on the same day is indeed a surprise.  Might need to take another look at this beast.

Nice, particularly with the other monkey in the background.  It gives more context.  I don't know where the sweet spot is for that lens but I expect it is a bit wider than f8 so I would try f5.6. ...

I experimented.  With the 12-40mm at 12mm and flash and everything on manual, two shots, one with the flash zoomed to 12mm and one zoomed to 42mm and indeed, there was greater intensity at the ...

For a bird sitting still, I want to spot meter on the bird.  For BIF it's too hard to spot meter on the bird but I don't want to meter over the whole sky and clouds either so assuming I can keep ...

One soon gets used to pushing slightly outwards on the focus ring.  Moving quickly from AF to MF takes a bit of practice,  It's annoying that in moving from AF to MF the point of focus changes.  ...

These are my setting but it's for an E-M1.1 and hand held. Small birds hopping about in shrubbery: Aperture priority, f4, f5.6 for bigger birds, f8 for ducks etc ISO auto S-AF small centre spot Spo ...

Interesting comment on LR vs C1. Off topic but thanks antway. Hope this doesn't start a war :)

One weird little thing you need to get used to is the focus lock switch.  You pull it towards you for distance and away for close up.  Go figure?  Oh, and when it's not autofocussing, it's not ...

I've got one. It's my go to lens now. It's the sharpest lens I've ever owned. There is simply no point in using a tripod anymore. However it does like good life.

"flowers that are moving slightly in the wind" have been a bugbear of mine so I've invested in a Wimberley Plamp.  So far so good.  It promises to make more of my day usable for native plant ...

True but you will soon find the adaptor a PITA and want to ditch it ASAP when more Z-mount lenses appear. I went through this going from 4/3 to m4/3.

Maybe, just maybe the subject had pasty skin.

I love your wife!

A "poser poser" is kind of like a double negative so it cancels out :)
