@NicoPPC EM5 III better built? With the tripod mount that breaks out the base plate that breaks so easily?

You can head over to the accompanying gallery. There you can see that the eagerly awaited Oly 100-400 isn't really better optically than the PL100-400 you hate SOOOOOO much. Comments suggest this...

Go and get the Nikon z50, basically the same price but has PDAF and is generally a way better camera.

Images are soft because the test was done in the middle of the day, sun burning do7w8nm, with all the heat distortion that's coming with it.

here you go

They had (and have) to cut costs and increase profit, "focusing on high-value-added interchangeable lenses" as they write. E-M5III was IMO the next step in cost-cutting. Cheap material. Many have ...

People always complain about boring galleries. Now they sneak in some creative shots (this long exposure, and other shots that e.g. show scooter drivers with much motion blur) and people...

Above shot is front focused on the grass (besides having lots of DoF so there is more acceptably sharp. Above shot is backfocused on the tree behind the car. Takeaway: If you have lots of DoF C-AF ...

Isn't this caused by the OSPDAF layer?

You are looking at the wrong chart ;) Open the one for 25mm, it's less then. Still a decrease of 15-20% from close-to-top-performance isn't something I personally bother too much, mostly because ...

As long as the shutter speed is decreased there is absolutely no loss in "light hitting the sensor" and therefor a small aperture won't increase noise. Of course there was: Wide(r) open you don't ...

The comment here - https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64023197 - suggests that diffraction killed the detail in your image. Which is just b***s**t. You also needed a tight aperture for the sun star.

Also look if you have pulled back the MF clutch when focus doesn't work.

Just in case some DPR staff reads this: IMO it should be flexible enough. edit permission should be on a post-basis, with a default coming from the profile settings. So that way you can allow ...

Setups without IS have a fixed path for the light through the lens. So as long as the lens isn't decentered it should have equal fringing for points with the same distance to the center. IBIS ...

Thank you! And yes, it's not as sharp, the reasons: Bird shot is original size and kind of optimized, while the horse shot (like all other landscape photos I posted here) is scaled down to 1600px ...

Dear Peter, You seem to not be aware of the profession of Vieri, otherwise you wouldn't have called him a "bloke who doesn't know how bad his photos are" : https://www.vieribottazzini.com/ And you ...

I use both, the PL100-400 and the Oly 75-300II. Well, used the 100-400, it is 1) too heavy for lugging around just for potential shots and 2) I am too afraid of potential damages that I used it ...

Blame Sabrina and not Vieri.

Probably she couldn't see past herself? Is it really a sign of helpfulness when you deliberately ignore someones wishes? Or is it a sign of a big ego that wants to show its own superiority? Be ...
