Probably need to lower the expectation on the ProCap. I used Fuji's equivalent Pre-Shot ES once. The rolling shutter could be pretty bad for fast moving subjects. I googled "Olympus ProCap" and ...

For similar spec lenses, M4/3's should always be lighter than APS-C's just because it needs less glass to cover the smaller sensor. There are special designed lenses make it less so (e.g., Nikon's ...

Hm, interesting. I understand the camera needs to align the frames, so there is a crop, but it spits out a full res image anyway, instead of the cropped res. It does! I'll be looking into getting ...

The bang for buck is the 6400. For macro, there was a deal breaker issue (can't remember what) with the 6100. Look for software solution for high ISO. They are getting very good now. I try not to, ...

You get what you pay for, especially for the camera lenses.

Yes, it does, thanks! There are artifacts when free handheld, but good results if stabilize against a solid surface. He also mentioned a heavy camera (EM1X) helps. I have EM10, it's a bit light, ...

Thanks. I'm looking for how practical is the handheld in-camera focus stacking with the Oly 60. I'll be happy with something like 10-20% keeper, but not sure if I'll get the 60 if it's much less ...

Regarding the focus stacking, is it handheld-able? I did a quick search, and most of the focus stacking either use a tripod or not-in-camera handheld. Unable to handheld is a deal breaker for me. TIA.

@faunagraphy, do you use AF @ 1:1? I just picked up an e-m10, and looking into getting a macro lens. My choices are the Oly 60 vs Laowa 50, and leaning toward the 50. My larger and heavier macro ...

Thanks!

I would argue that when one photographs at 1:1 or higher macro magnification, we are looking at a different type/emphasis of photography/images. The point of such challenge is to invite and ...

Congrats! Fantastic image.

Sorry, just saw this. DPR does not send a notification in the comment section; I get notification through PM.

My FF macro setup is a bit heavy for handheld with one hand, and I'm thinking about getting a light MFT setup. Given that I do photograph down to 2mm (or less) subjects, does it worth the 80-100% ...

For your reference, 3000 pixel on the long side of an image usually runs 1-2MB.

The title of the article is "Sports shooters compared: the Canon EOS R3 versus the Sony a9 II" I would think that the SPORTS SHOOTERS would like to compare the features that are related to sports...

Most of the serious/semi-serious bird photographers I know are Sony users, and many were switched to Sony just last few years. The second group is Nikon (D5/D500), and Canon comes in third.

Placed 13^th in the challenge. +Raynox DCR-250.

Congrats! Nice photo!
