Get rid of that silly mechanical shutter.  It is a dinosaur like the mirror box. ;)  I quit using my mech shutter as soon as I got EM5II and realized how quiet and antishake the eshutter is. PDAF ...

Especially if you are not a drive to the spot take a picture and get back in the car kind of photographer. Whichever camera get a charger that works in your car if you spend time away from hotels.

The macro feature is very handy for closeups and it is weather sealed.  The resolution is a bit off compared to a more expensive lens, though. While you are looking for a zoom, the Rokinon 12mm f2 ...

You are correct - thanks for the post!

I finally got the camera and correct lens out of the car. I think you do not have something set correctly. Rokinon 12mm (manual focus/ aperture) E5II sw v 4.1 Aperture  mode Menu A: AEL/EFL -> MF ...

It is hard to tell if you got it to work doing this - or this is your setup that does not work? If it does not work - look at Menu A for MF.  Mode 2 AEL will not work when you have your setup like ...

I have days where nothing is funny too. Menu A - MF - mode 2 AEL does not work - perhaps? Which priority - M A S P Iauto?

Thank you for taking the time and effort to show this. I would have walked away with the incorrect impression. -b

I thought so too, even though I have an Oly bias.  By the title I was expecting the images to be reversed.

Incredible shots!  really a joy to look through. Thanks for sharing, Brent

Are we not the luckiest people in the world?  To be able to see such a world - would not exchange it to live in a palace of gold 400 years ago; eyes behind fruit bats white sands national park arch ...

Because of the weight of the lens, it really needs a tripod collar - something to bring the weight of the camera + lens to the center of the mount. Otherwise you are always fighting gravity. I ...

LOL! Almost embarrassingly so...

> (I actually used the electric shutter for everything other than flash use. with you 100% on this.  Cuts down on wear on movable parts, is so quiet, and reduces shake. If I was shooting action it ...

I live in Minnesota.  I have used many cameras below 0F.  The EM5 last winter. The things to watch for when outside are: - weatherproof lenses if snow is accumulating on the camera - I do not ...

Thanks for hosting these - kind of fun! Migrating seagulls sunrise.  They are draining one of the lakes - they seemed to find the shallow fishing to their liking Into the rabbit hole... Minnesota ...
