Depends on your usage but my personal preference is for Zeiss lenses - however I generally have used shorter prime lenses and am not fussed by manual focus. The Nikon zoom lenses are great. In this ...

Happy to have helped. For professional photographers working in press and sport, DLRs will continue to dominate for a while, however second hand purchasers of good quality Nikon lenses will be in ...

Technically, probably yes, in that it can produce images of adequate quality in most circumstances but I would miss the small fast primes, somewhat larger sensor and above all the ergonomics.

I'm very much in the minority among Olympus users in not liking the 12-100 - notwithstanding my general preference for the primes, I chose the 12-40 for when I needed weatherproofing, I found the ...

I can understand this and I think you are right - we build a system, want something smaller and lighter, then once again look to compromise the other way in favour of image quality. Ultimately I ...

I think I would spend a bit of time with what you have first and see how you get on with it, which will lead you to what you want better in a new camera or camera system. Whilst things have ...

Hi Gary I would second TTP’s advice - you must rent first, as much to see if you can get on with the ergonomics as to see if the output works for you. I made the move from “full frame” to MFT a ...

Hands can certainly be as interesting as faces, this is lovely.

There has been some good advice on this thread already - just to say, I would not write-off the Summarit-M range, respected reviewers have good things to say about them and aside from less than ...

Interesting reading your experiences - and great panorama picture. My city / Europe travel kit is the E-M1ii and 12mm f2 with the 25mm f1.8 in my pocket - unless I'm expecting bad weather, only ...

Really makes you look twice, even though I know what's happening it's still a strange enough view to make me look more - and then smile. The colour works really well - the yellow splashes, blocks ...

Wonderful composition Sudarsan, really love the lines and angles you have chosen to use. Is the Moto G a phone? I assume so, just shows the value of always having a camera. Clearly you have taken ...

Thank you Benedictus - the hand was coming up as she walked towards me, the compromise was at that distance I lost the holding hands at the bottom as Alan noted. Nice light was helpful.

Thank you Alan - agreed on the hands.

Thanks EOS - it really is a conflict or compromise between good composition, which takes me time and getting the character or situation in a fast moving environment - on the very odd occasion it ...

Thanks for commenting Nessimo - all about the character - it was a very busy street so no further opportunities, it was a fast moving situation!

Comments / thoughts welcome.

Thank you for commenting Frank, appreciated. Completely agree with you on the clipped left edge - that frustrates me too. Cheap basket, cheap roses, very heavily inflated prices, but he makes a ...

Thank you for commenting Mat - I agree with what you have said and seen, composition is nothing much here, for me it was about the character and having light which showed off the face and the ...

Sorry to pick up on this but... would have been a keeper What does this mean? You think it should be deleted? Perhaps we are so accustomed to viewing photographs very rapidly on a small screen we ...
