Thanks all for your very full and instructive points. This has pretty much born out what I thought. I wanted to get the 16-50 because it was cheaper and less investment needed or more bang for ...

I have been seeing that some people prefer the 16-50 over the 18-55 for rendering etc and I have to say that having not used either to compare them I cannot add an opinion. I have used both the ...

Thanks John. The Canon FD 100-300 5.6 L looking at prices has a distinct advantage and looking at images too appears very sharp. There are Alpha and Beta particles which are stopped by the outer ...

Can anyone suggest a 300mm MF lens for adapting to MFT that is not radioactive but still sharp and doesn’t cost an absolute fortune? Rarer than hen’s teeth but is there one? The Nikkor 300mm f4.5 ...

I hope I’ll be forgiven for posting on an old thread but the point of these body cap lenses is that they are for the times when normally a body cap  would be on the camera and a body cap isn’t a ...

👌🏻😁

Canon 1Ds mark I, that is the very first 1Ds of 11mp. Has anyone got any idea which eye cup fits this model? It's going back a bit. I'm fairly convinced that the design of the eye cup won't have ...

To everyone, thanks so much for your insights. I’ve just got the plastic mount version. It looks good and I can’t wait to use it. It must be the smallest zoom lens with a manual zoom ring I’ve ...

That's interesting. Maybe they considered that the force required to shift the mount was too much for the structural integrity of the lens.

Metal or plastic mount? Clearly the 12-32 comes with both metal and plastic mount versions. Does anybody know how to identify the different versions aside from the obvious. Also does anybody know ...

Thanks for your useful suggestions. I'll check out the link provided.  I shoot exclusively RAW. I have experienced the issue with a wide range of camera systems I had over the years. With Nikon ...

Does anyone have any tips on photography of red flowers in natural light? Most red flowers seem to get blown out. Also I very often find that AF struggles to find focus even if it locks and ...

Is it better to stick with Olympus or Panasonic lenses with the respective system cameras? Reviewers have said it's better for instance to use Olympus lenses on Olympus bodies and Panasonic Lenses ...

Thanks. That’s great but I have a 3D printer and regularly use CAD to model items in 3D so it should present no problem to model it.  Although I accept that Sugru is a great product, using it in ...

Good morning to everyone. Has anyone been able to find parts available for this camera? Principally a spare thumb grip. It looks easy to remove the back as it has a long ribbon cable but I need ...

Thanks for all the great suggestions and opinions and information. I just wanted to review things which your answers have done very thoroughly. The 14 f2.5 looks good but I might not use it that ...

Does anyone have any thoughts on the best pancake? I've personally had the Lumix 20 f1.7 in the past but there is also the Olympus 17mm f1.8 and a zoom I believe which could be considered a ...

Thanks. That's perfect. I'd hoped there would be someone with the knowledge. I simply wasn't aware of the complexity of the 16mpx sensor line up. It's great to have that clarified. It's amazing ...

Looking at an old thread I came across information suggesting that Sony made some MFT  sensors and Panasonic made others but after looking its quite difficult to establish which cameras have which ...

I've asked this question before, but now I'd like to frame it in a different way. Going for a wide zoom with a filter ring. I would prefer not to include bulbous front element lenses. The Nikon ...
