Yeah, but it's more fun on a forum. Maggie

Mostly I don't use a screen, I use the EVF. With my varifocal spectacles I find the screen quite difficult to use: my one requirement on any camera is that it must have an EVF, and after that it's ...

My walk-around is the 14-140, especially for travel. When I've got one or maybe two days in a place I know I won't get second chances. If I had to stop to consider which lens to put on to get the ...

Fantastic images! How did you get so close? Maggie

I have both. I rarely use the 12-50mm, because if I'm going to take landscapes the 9-18mm seems the more appropriate range. Occasionally the 12-50 replaces the 14-45, as it has the greater range, ...

Strangely, I like the field best. To have two leading lines going in different directions is quite arresting. Thanks for posting. Maggie

Lovely compositions and great light, Teri: thank you. I hope you will take it as a compliment when I say they look like Old Master paintings. The only one which gives me concern is the last one ...

I've had the 14-140II for about a year, and it has become my walk-about lens on the GX7. Sharp results provided I use good handholding technique, I use e-shutter to prevent any possible shutter ...

I don't have the 12-40mm Chris, but from what I read you can't beat the quality, so I'd take that and stitch the panorama together outside the camera. The art of taking images for stitching, ...

I see from the Flickr image that the focal length of the lens on an OMD 10 was not dissimilar to yours, so it's difficult to know whether he was closer to the subject than you were. What does ...

I agree it wasn't the most representative shot of the benefits of focus stacking. But the fact that I could get it out of doors, handheld, without resorting to high ISOs made it a shot I could ...

Oh, that's so clear Guy! Thanks! Maggie

Good advice there, Anders: thank you. I think I do need a faster SD card. The manual recommends a UHS Speed Class 3 which I don't have, and I did notice this afternoon that it was taking a long ...

Thank you! I'll do that tomorrow. M

I got my GX80 yesterday and am blown away by the ability to create focus stacks handheld. The result is so sharp I don't even need to sharpen! But I don't understand exactly what is happening. I ...

Forgive me taking a liberty with your photo, but I tried some PP along the lines already suggested. Opened in Camera Raw, raised the shadows: not much different from your processed version. Took ...

No, you can never have too many giggles in life.

Quite right, the card reader opens the import dialgoue, and asks if you want to select all the images and save them to Photos, or just select and save some of them. It won't save duplicate images ...

I'm still not enamoured of the instructions that come with this app (now for iOS, so I used my iPad). But when it works it's pretty good! Flowers like irises which have a very  pronounced 3-d ...

I don't get that. Why isn't the faster wider Voightlander better for astro? Maggie
