Do you need a Macro lens for street? Confusing!

If we're talking about anything designed as an entry camera, the kit concept makes sense. But for all the higher-end models, why include a lens at all? It will be existing users who buy them, and ...

Lovely snow leopards!

What a lovely book, Nigel. Thanks for sharing it. And for heaven's sake don't abandon M43! Maggie

I have the GX80 and don't have that problem. However I am aware of it and try to use the front dial for the more popular operation of the mode I'm in, to minimise wear of the rear one. I hope that ...

Wow! I didn't find that, Charles! I'll try to find one, thanks for the heads-up Maggie

I thought someone might be interested in this. The lens has a bevelled ribbed front where the cap should be fixed. Unlike other lenses and auto caps (I have the one for the 14-42 EZ) it is ...

Your experience with judges and infrared images reflects mine. I've had judges say things like " was this taken in winter"? Such a shame when IR is so interesting. And I liked your image! Maggie

Well, that's exactly the problem. I'm shooting AP and setting the aperture and ISO. The camera decided the shutter speed. And do bear in mind that the animals can move very quickly so trying to ...

Yes!

Thanks to everyone! So spot metering is out for the future, I'll stick with centre weighted. I'd kind of been working on the thinking (too strong a word ... feeling) that if the focus box was in ...

Yes, it is. M

I agree, if it was spot metering reading the white fur, you'd expect the shutter speed to go the other way. But it could be related to the metering mode .... somehow. I did have spot metering on. ...

Exif reports spot metering for both - not consciously changed all day. No flash, not even fill flash: exif reports did not fire. Maggie

Here are 2 images (JPGs SOOC) shot less than one second apart. I was shooting high speed bursts and I think the short pause was the start of a new burst. Nothing else changed: same aperture and ...

Thank you, Helen, for the essay! You've covered a lot of ground there. And everyone else who contributed. I recently bought a used E-PL1 ready converted for Infrared, and I'm very impressed with ...

Has anyone still got an E-PL3? I've tried to check the specification for the LCD screen and find differing descriptions. I would like a camera (which in all other respects is the E-PL3) with a ...

I second the idea of the 20mm f1.7. A couple of romantic night-time shots by candlelight sounds just right for a honeymoon. Don't forget that if the 12-32mm proves not quite wide enough you can ...

Thanks for the warning, Jake, I'll keep an eye on it.

Wonderful images - thank you for posting them. I wonder why I imagined the sun never shone down there ... it clearly does!
