Keith, please read the manual. Your Panasonic Team :-) :-) :-)

Very opposite here. I never develop my RAW files in Affinity. I develop them in SilkyPix first and then open them as 16-bit TIFFs in Affinity for final editing.

Buy a GH5. That is what I would do if money was no issue.

Exactly! Plus it allows full interface customization and supports 4K displays.

You did everything right, I think. The light was just not there. This scene - I would not have taken any better picture. Also, I've noticed my GX8-100-400mm loves to focus on the water BEHIND a bird. ...

So, EM5.2 is completely shutter shock free? Zero chance of shutter shock on EM5.2?

Thank you for sharing this. Highly appreciated.

So much have changed since then. Those were much simpler lenses back then. Fewer elements and usually with no lens coating on them. In 1968, did you shoot a 800mm equivalent lens filled with 20 ...

This is just cosmetic variations. There was a face-lift a few years ago. The lenses perform identically.

Well, a couple of years from now perhaps circumstances will show up and you'll realize that it was true - putting any piece of glass in front of a super telezoom lens such as Pana Leica 100-400mm ...

Putting any filter in front of Pana 100-400mm is always a bad idea. Even the most expensive ones. UV or CPL. It just a bad idea. So Steve's problems were caused by user error. Needless filter ...

This thread is about Pana 100-400mm. Here is the resolution chart @300mm. Notice the drop in resolution both in the center and in the corner past f8. He was using f10, which forced him to set ...

Oh, Steve!!! f10 - that was your problem. Coupled ISO1600 you had to use as a result of setting your aperture way too high. it is way past the diffraction limit of m43 system. You were using the ...

He was also talking about sharpness.

The image resolution provided by Pana 100-400mm can significantly improve when electronic shutter is used. My experience with the lens attached to Panasonic GX8 is that I can get sharper images ...

Canon fast lenses mounted to a m43 body via speedbooster do provide a f0.95 equivalent and some of them will autofocus. True, those are not native m43 lenses and the autofocus is rather slow.

Try looking for some Canon f1.4 lenses with Speedbooster. Perhaps some will autofocus, especially on a Panasonic body. I am sure somebody knows the answer.

Honestly, I see no difference in focusing speed. Perhaps Oly focuses little longer than Pana 100-400mm in absolute terms, but in practical use this is inperceptible. I have to problem tracking a ...

Thanks for sharing this information. Appreciated. That would mean the lens will be plenty available for everyone in May-June 2018 at the earliest. Some 10-11 long months of waiting - for those who ...

Well, in the meantime I treated myself with Oly 40-150mm f2.8 and it is one heck of a lens. Much better image-quality-wise in 100-150mm range shared with Pana-Leica 100-400mm. When I need to shoot ...
