First my advice on the GC. If you can stay in one of the cabins right next to the south rim you can just dump your car and only have to fight with other pedestrians. At sunrise and somewhat at ...

I beg to differ, at least as far as the weight of lenses are concerned. When the Panasonic FF camera was announced I did a comparison of the current Leica L-mount (FF) lenses and comparable MFT ...

We are back from our trip. We had fun even if the fall colors failed to cooperate. Here are some shots of the hills from Mt Mitchell and Clingman's Dome. from Mt Mitchell from Clingman's Dome No ...

Sorry. I post a lot on the Micro 4/3 forum and forgot that I was here on the Leica forum.

Ignoring the doomsayers claiming that this all means that MFT will now go away, I think this is all excellent news. I went with MFT many years ago because there were two excellent companies ...

OK, I like this thread. So I'm going to try again to upload a direct out of the camera shot. I think I may have screwed up last time. As a reminder, this is my Leica 50mm APO ASPH M-mount lens on ...

A great camera and lens will not make a photographer great. But a great photographer can make a great photograph with whatever camera and lens is available. When a great photographer has a great ...

You could spend your whole time at the Grand Canyon and be happy. But you need clear air because of the distances. Bryce is great as well and much, much smaller. So maybe a day or to at most. ...

The northern part of Capital Reef is definitely 4WD stuff. Last March we drove the loop at Monument Valley in our CRV. I don't think we would have even needed the 4WD. Stay in one of the Premium ...

I'm pretty sure there was still a lot of film being used back then, especially by professional photographers. And medium format (Hasselblad) as well. But a good lens, a well exposed image, and ...

Yes, but 5 > 4 :-) Time (5 days) will tell. 43 Rumors is now saying with "100% certainty" that Panasonic Leica and Sigma are all onboard the SL mount.

Still, I rarely find FT5 rumors on the 43 Rumors site not to come true. I also think the SL mount makes sense. It is well established. Panasonic and Leica have a long term relationship. Leica's M ...

I would expect that Panasonic, and maybe others, will be bringing more affordable lenses to the mount.

A while back I did a comparison between  MFT lenses and Leica SL mount lenses to see how much heavier an SL based system might be. The thread is under the rumors section because it was mostly ...

Now that it looks like there is confirmation that the new FF Panasonic camera will be using the Leica SL mount I thought I would tap my original analysis of the relative differences between MFT ...

I just found this: https://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/temproadclose.htm The park service is closing most of SMNP in anticipation of the approaching storm. They are expecting 4-8 inches of rain. ...

Anyone willing to guess what Florence might do to the area? Roads washed out? Many leaves down? I guess it is just hope for the best. But it looks like the estimate is the storm will be about over ...

A couple of years ago we spent two weeks centered on Lake George. We were a bit early for the best colors but still found many. Here are some of my suggestions: (1) Any hike starting at Heart Lake ...

In October we are headed primarily for the Smoky Mountains, but we will start in Blowing Rock further north in NC. I asked a similar question to yours a couple of weeks ago and got a lot of ...
