My first GX8 the little triangular strap holders actually rubbed through the strap lugs on the body! One clean through! I was walking through Tbilisi airport, GX8 sitting on top of my sling pack in ...

Apple isn’t a monopoly. Never was. Never will be. In the smartphone space, iPhone has something like 2nd or 3rd place in market share, but takes something like 90% of all profits. The rest pick up ...

Absolutely. If you travel and travel light, less bulk and less weight has GREAT appeal. Not the same a dedicated camera. I use an iPhone, but photography is a very small part of how I use it.

Keep that lens and adapt it! For a few hundred bucks you can get a SpeedBooster adaptor. Check out the Panasonic 14-140mm f3.5-5.6. Great little lens! Better than the Oly 14-150mm Check out some ...

I use fast SanDisk 300MB/s cards. They’re a bit more expensive, but save and transfer faster. Be sure you have a fast card reader. Images are saved faster. The cards are probably way faster than ...

So, does the OMDS/Olympus 1.4x teleconverter work with Panasonic lenses that support a teleconverter? If so, that might solve the problem of the missing Panasonic 1.4x TC.

That set seems reasonable. Still haven’t tried an 18-25mm f4. if it were me, I’d maybe swap the 45mm f1.2 for the 45mm f1.8? Or maybe even spring for a 40-150mm f4 and skip the 75mm? In my travels ...

Panasonic does make the D-Lux cameras for Leica, so maybe we’ll get lucky. Not holding my breath…

The OM5 is already a smaller body, as is the G100. It’s 6 years since the GX9, LX100 and GF10 were released. 4 years since the G100, with a minor update just a few months ago. The PEN EP7 in 2021, ...

How about THIS: New Leica D-Lux 8 camera rumored to be announced this summer

The GX8 was marketed as a flagship level camera, where nearly everything in it was high-end. So, that big, 4:3 aspect ratio OLED EVF was a big part of that, including weather sealing and tank-like ...

One of the biggest problems with the GX7-series EVF is the 16:9 aspect ration. That makes an already small EVF even smaller. The GX8 EVF is native M4/3 aspect ratio, 4:3. A pleasure to use with any ...

The control layout of the GX8 is a huge improvement over the GX7/GX9. The fiddly rear wheel is replaced by a more substantial wheel. There are more programmable buttons. There's an exposure ...

GX8. It's the best all-around, full-featured, high-end rangefinder style body with the fewest compromises, ESPECIALLY with the large, tilting EVF. Excellent handling, ergonomics and external ...

I’m sure any of those cameras would be fine. I prefer Panasonic, since for me, they feel more intuitive in terms of handling, ergonomics and interface. But you know that already. 😃 If you like the ...

Return it.

I’m a big fan of fingerless gloves. I had a bad habit of either dropping regular gloves or losing one . With fingerless, you always keep the on. For winter cold, I’ve used thin liner gloves with ...

FYI, this forum is actually a form of social media. Why would you get a 12-35mm AND a 12-45mm? They’re practically the same size and weight? Why not just a 12-40mm f2.8, or one of the 12-60mm ...

OK. No adapted lenses, only native M4/3. My ”LOVE” lenses: Voigtländer 17.5mm Voigtländer 42.5mm Panasonic 7-14mm f4 Panasonic/Leica 50-200mm & TC 1.4x Panasonic 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 I have a few ...

Of course it can. Or a GX8 or GX9. Any of them with a 15mm f1.7 or 20mm f1.4 or 20mm f1.7…
