Placed 8^th in the challenge.

I did not find much need for an ultra wide lens in Stockholm, unlike say medieval European cities. Looking at what I took, I have more at > 25 than <12.  The one  big exception was the Vasa ...

First shot I've kept from each - I obviously buy new cameras in the spring and try them in the garden, hence the preponderance of daffodils (sorry the GH4 breaks the sequence)

Placed 14^th in the challenge. A much photographed scene. This was less than half the assembled company at 0530 in the morning.

There is a quote - possibly apocryphal - from  Frederick Handley-Page of the eponymous aircraft company “ I know I could build all I build with half the staff - the problem is knowing which half”. ...

Placed 3^rd in the challenge.

Think of the impact on your travelling companions, if any. On your own, you can spend as long as you wish changing lenses and setting up shots, so for that go prime. With a few friends or family, ...

Have a look at ace camerarepair who list PL 100-400 mount repair on their website, though I have not used them, or DKAVS who I have recently used to repair a Panasonic 45mm macro that would not focus.

If you are into architectural photography, take a wide angle. If not, don’t. And one comment on timing. Most places will be almost deserted at 6 in the morning, but still busy at midnight!

Many thanks for that source and quote. It does seem that the original derivation as given by Franco D and recorded in my dictionaries as 1892 ( telephotographic)  /  1898 ( telephoto ) had indeed ...

This reminds me of the (probably apocryphal) dictionary entry in a book on software: Recursive procedure - see Recursive procedure. More importantly, the discussion in the whole thread here is ...

If we’re into dictionary definitions.. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary dates “telephoto” to 1898, as an abbreviation of “telephotographic”. “Telephotographic” is dated to 1892, defined as Of, ...

Digging around on this I found an old (2013) DXO assessment of both lenses. It notes that although Panasonic claim the optical construction has not changed, the Mkii  has a slightly poorer ...

I am sorry to say that there is simply no size / weight, or even size / weight range, that I would regard as applying to “most” mirrorless cameras. There is too much variety: of that variety for ...

How wide a range of subjects have you tested? For example baby / child / teenager / young adult / middle-aged / older. Or simply male / female. I suspect many of us would use different approaches ...

The ability to do it in camera saves time and effort. I had not realised this was the case until the OP pointed it out. It can though be done, albeit with a certain amount of effort, in an editor. ...
