Forget primes and free up your creativity. Just buy the Oly 12-40mm and you will never want nor need another prime. With any f/1.8 prime at a family gathering the depth of field will be too ...

When using a telescope do you include the eyepiece in the system or do you attach the scope directly to the camera without using the eyepiece? I have a 600mm scope but I have only tried half ...

It doesn't get asked a lot on this forum! You will get more replies from users of both the cameras if you post on the micro four thirds forum. This is a forum for point and shooters. You should ...

My grey import Oly M1 bought from HDEWCameras in the uk was repaired  under their 3 year warranty by a well established company in Scotland. They not only replaced the usual faulty rear dial but ...

I totally agree and HDEWCameras are my first port of call for new Olympus Gear. Good to deal with and excellent 3year warrenty on bodies, 1 year on lenses. I have seen too many bad reports on ...

However, some manufacturers of compact and bridge cameras do fiddle the figures to make their cameras look good to those with little photographic knowledge. For instance a compact camera with a ...

The only long lens I have is the 400/5.6L. That is the very shortest I would see as useful for birding in the wild bearing in mind that in my world significant cropping is inevitable. And although ...

Me too, excellent people to deal with. Ken C

No longer fantasy for me, I use my Canon 400/5.6 L (left over from my Canon days) on my Oly M1/1 but with the Metabones Smart T adapter, to give me an angle of view equivalent to ff 800mm. It ...

The flange distance of the Nikon is 46.5mm and that of the Canon is 42mm. This means that with a simple adapter a Nikon lens can be mounted on a Canon body, and that is what I sometimes do. But a ...

And not on the Oly 12-50mm which has a motorised zoom as an option.

Me too. I have bought 2 bodies and 3 lenses from HDEW without a problem, and I have also used their excellent 3 year insurance based warrenty for the usual Olympus problems. They are my first port ...

So although I like apples and I have never tasted pears, my opinion is that pears taste no better than apples? That opinion, like yours, has no value. Ken C

On what basis do you not think the Metabones works any better than the Viltrox when by your own admission you have not used the Metabones? You are certainly entitled to comment on the Viltrox ...

I use theCanon400/5.6L on my Olympus M1/1. I first tried an autofocus Commlite but the focus was not good enough. I then bit the bullet and paid out for a new Metabones TSmart   AF adapter and I ...

It is just £1219 at HDEWCameras, another grey market supplier that I have uses a number of times and been very happy with. It has been this price and even under £1200 for many weeks. And it has a ...

We now need a cat picture and yet another a food picture. And of course the inevitable question why the thing is stuck on manual focus. Ken C

An important message, do not expect instant success with the lens as it takes time to get the best from it. Many have been immediately dissatisfied but equally there are many like myself who ...

Markr041 Brian Wardie is a highly respected member of this forum who has contributed a lot to our understanding of some of the problems of the mft system. To the best of my knowledge, you are not, ...

It is there. All you have to do is to find it. I thought it would be odd to miss out a fairly basic function. Follow my route to it.
