PhotoFactor

That's weird, I clicked on the same link and there are the files listed.

Agreed, but the issue is that with no licensing or other means of ID, this is the way that keeps airliners the safest. I don't necessarily agree but I see both sides. If there were a way to...

I have uploaded 8 files taken with my 1650 and new used 1855. The focus is on the rose bush. Taken with 2 second delay on tripod. Files are clearly labeled to which lens, focal length, and aperture. ...

I do. What's the best way to do that given the file sizes? I could provide a 1650 and corresponding Oly 1442 as a comparison, along with the 1855. I'm heading out on a business trip in a day so may ...

They also don't have a decently sharp kit zoom. But we have beaten that one to death. The current kit is pretty much the bottom of the barrel versus Canon, Nikon, Oly, Panasonic, etc.

Sam, I'll try to do that. But of course I can't really post M43 photos here as that would be off topic. I will post a few of my good A6000 shots. I'm leaving 2nd half of August and back mid September.

Yes but reading many threads here over the years, there seems to be a sort of 50/50 split where some say the kit is crap and others say it's not too bad. So clearly crap 1650s are not unusual. I'm ...

Thanks! Well you have some point there. But of course if I said I ran a test on the A6000 versus the OM-D people would have said it was apples to oranges. I was specifically complaining about the ...

Snapa, I appreciate that you like your kit zoom and that's great for you. But you are wrong that I love mine. I love the idea and potential of it, but not the reality. In fact, I just finished ...

Hi Sam, I don't disagree that the Sony sensor is better. But the actual tests show much sharper results with the Oly kit lens. So what good is a theoretically better sensor if you can't get a ...

John, appreciate your feedback. You could be correct, but I've read too many stories of many. copies of bad 1650s. I'm leaving for Europe soon and don't have time for multiple buy/return cycles in ...

Sorry Sam, I disagree. I'm just characterizing new equipment. That will be the end of any testing. My major issue is that my 1650 was never sharp, even in the center. I could take soft corners most ...

Here is a quick update. I just received my refurb Olympus OM-D EM-10ii with 14-42 (28-84 equiv) pancake zoom. In addition, I took the suggestion for the 18-55 Sony and bought a used one for $129 at ...

Which is exactly why Sony is focusing on those who *will* buy huge, expensive glass - instead of you! (not meaning to be derogatory there...)

They have not introduced a new model of APS-C lens in years. They are making APS-C lenses all the time.

I tend to go light, so: body, 10-18, Sigma 30, and one of the 18-105 or the 70-200. The last two choice depends upon which range you shoot in more often. The longer zoom only for birds/wildlife/etc.

An interesting post. But a few comments: (1) You can't count number of posts as an estimate of popularity/volume. The APS-C forum was in existence for years before the FF forum. There were even ...

Progress in electronics is a steady march.

To be clear, they already have some really good E mount lenses (APS-C).  But perhaps they will come out with more - I believe a recent quote from them says they will continue to develop more ...

Agreed on a number of fronts. However regarding the more tele side of things, it's my understanding from posts here that at those focal lengths there is little to no size difference, so the FEs ...
