Exactly. But this works best when you lock ISO, since Auto-ISO gives the camera permission to go in a completely different direction.

Yup. That's what P mode does as well. (You made me doubt myself so I just switched from A to P to double-check.)

They already made the new mount years ago. Do you still think that Leica makes the SL? How about the type 109? ;-)

The Voigt is a great lens. Yes, it is soft (particularly away from center, IIRC) wide open. It's also big. And heavy. And expensive. And no, you can't buy mine. If I were starting a kit and were ...

Exactly. With manual ISO, by using the dial, it can be used "like" Aperture mode, but it isn't the same.

Yup. Just had to get a 256GB micro-sdxc U3 card ... and I remember when $500 for a 64 MB "compact flash" was a bargain!

No, thank you. Why would anyone do that? You have found something that you like. That is wonderful! Great bodies, great lenses. They meet your needs and/or desires better than anything else in the ...

Seriously, go take some photographs. (And DPR, thank you for the ability to mute annoying people.)

Seriously, you're using a 35mm camera for posting pictures on Facebook and you don't know how to achieve shallow DOF? What you need for shallow DOF is a minimum of a 5" × 4" sensor with a f1:0.95 lens.

If only I had only spent that much ...

I don't know ... I like the Fujis. However, I wanted smaller, so I went with m43. (And I'm happy with the results.) It's a good decade to be into photography :)

But you would think that it would be stabilized, because it's turtles the whole way down!

What is wonderful is that the money that they pour into it keeps driving down the cost of larger and larger sensors, and keeps the R&D into improving sensors going. Yes, they're irrational. Aren't ...

This isn't true. The lenses are, in general, somewhat bigger than they would be for m43 and somewhat smaller than they would be for 135 format. Just like m43 lenses are somewhat bigger than they ...

Interesting thought experiment!

I don't buy that. Olympus was smart to move to a more mature stage of development with m43, instead of just free-wheeling and burning cash forever. There are going to be areas where Pany has a ...

First, since the post that Tom was responding to was mine, I'd like to be clear that I am not at all afraid of Pany abandoning m43. (Or Oly.) Second, as I've pointed out before, Pany has been ...

No idea. It was years too late for me to even consider it, and never got any Canon love ... so I never bothered to even look at it. No idea. I don't expect that Panasonic will abandon m43 ... it's ...

In m43, I buy from both Oly and Pany. (More from Pany, but only because they give me a very nice employee discount.) But if Pany stops investing in m43, then I'll probably be spending more on Oly ...

Bingo!
