If the source is reliable, why not identify it? As it turns out, no reliable source, e.g Reuters (his employer), The Independent, BBC, suggests such a thing. Please stop making stuff up.

18-300mm suggests to me that it is going to weigh well over 500 g, possibly even more than 600 g, which means that the weight ratio of lens to camera body will be less that ideal when paired with...

I believe dpreview never completed their review of the MK IV. Here is a fairly decent review of the MK IV that I came across on the Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKlZQdeysnI

The biggest viewfinders on full frame DSLRs are typically smaller than the viewfinders on the SLRs of old. The viewfinder of an old Konica that I shortly owned was so gigantic and bright that ...

This is a very valid objection. At one point I had more than a dozen manual lenses. The inability to identify the lens that I had taken a given picture with prompted me to cut down on the number ...

@Street_Photography Yes, unfortunately you are right. They have done the same to XT-30: it doesn't have the button pad either.

Helios 44 (the best manual lens l ever had) 7Artisans 55 1.4 Kaxinda 35 1.7

What I would like to add is that with IBIS and highlighting of in-focus areas, manual focusing is a foolproof method with Olympus. It is not as easy with DSLRs; at least catch in focus on my ...

I had a pro photographer giving me a bemused look the other day because I shoot with manual lenses. Yes, I am an amateur with no aspirations of becoming a pro, but there is something strangely ...

@Street_Photography I don't underatsnding the logic though. I though the Fuji philosophy was all about bringing back that old school feel; you don't do that by forcing people to rely on a touchscreen.

I have read quite a few online reports about malfunctioning joystick; there are those who say that it is too fragile. They should have had joystick as well as the button pad that you will find on...

I am thinking of getting an Olympus 40-150 and replacing its plastic mount with a metal one. Is it as straightforaward a task as it looks, i.e. merely removing four screws, or might I live to ...

EM10 mkii: 390g Olympus 60mm 2.8: 185g 575g

Well, if they can pull off a decent 100mm f3.5 weighing 300g or less, that will do for me. Pentax Limiteds tend to be compact, well-built, with slow aperture, and of decent optical quality; if ...

300g is not arbitrary. I tried the Olympus 75-300 weighing 420g and the Samyang 85mm 1.8 weighing 360g on my em10 mk ii and concluded that on such a small camera body only compact lenses are ...

I refuse to attach anything heavier than 300 grams to my camera.

Sorry, i am not interested in cheap kit lenses. I would like low-weight telephoto primes of superior optical quality. They don't have to be fast; obviously you could not keep the weight down if ...

* What I would have really liked is a 100mm f3.5 lens weighing less than 300 grams and of excellent optical quality. * Perhaps one could even manufacture a 150mm f4 weighing less than 300 grams and ...

To the DP reviewers: a detailed shootout between this camera and the D500 is an absolute must.

Must say l very much like the colour-rendering in your pictures.
