PhotoSupreme (formerly idImager) is pretty good, but it isn't for the faint of heart... (both Windows and Mac)

Apart from the size, the colour is going to make the casual "this one? New ? Oh, no, darling, this is some old thing that's been in back of the closet for years, just dusted it down" line a bit ...

The 150-400's lens hood is bigger than the 100-400 :-)

...forgot to mention that one of the Olympus employees present was quite openly talking about the fact that an E-M5 MkIII is coming later this year.  No details were mentioned, she was just ...

Well I _think_ it may be bigger than you expect....   but the point I suppose I never got around to making is that people who would be comfortable of a lens of that size and specification are ...

just tried a whole bunch of E-M1x with various pro lenses, courtesy Olympus Switzerland. The camera is a gorgeous piece of manufacturing, alongside it the E-M1.2 (silver :-) ) looks almost rough. ...

In my opinion, people who simplistically and exclusively equate landscape photography with UWA primes, or wide angle in general, are not very familiar with anything beyond superficial landscape ...

I generally don’t get too upset by a bit of noise - I’d be using the wrong system if  i did - but with this shot I get too hung up on the blown highlights (e.g on the cheek) to even look for ...

Because when they do nobody gives them any credit or praise, they just obsess about the m43 sensor...

Well PvR has got a real name, he can spell, and he can string a sentence together. All useful attributes for a “professional “....

+1 on various 120 formats, but there is another consideration, which is unless you're going straight to print from film, and comparing that with a print from m43, then it is really hard to compare ...

I tend to agree, but there is a dilemma in that you have two ways (with the appropriate lens) to go into Manual Focus... and this leads to situations such as, you had selected MF in SCP, then you ...

Well I'm sure you're right, but personally I don't give much meaning or indeed thought to the terminology. What I _do_ give meaning to however, is the fact that if I "engage the clutch", in the ...

Thank you very much.   That was my planned workaround too.   Actually I've got a bit of a Groundhog Day feeling about this :-)

I certainly have the same discussions as you in my head, but what I really, really don't get is how Olympus creating an FF solution would have any bearing whatsoever about money & experience ...

I'm going to have to blame being old & stupid for this, but when reconfiguring my E-M5.2 today I noticed this:  "clutch MF mode" and "MF mode" do not appear to be the same thing. With MF engaged by ...

Yeah, but do you get a badge and a plastic membership card? Is there a secret handshake????

Seconded: get an Olympus and a 12-100 lens. Oh, and don’t ask for advice on DPR forums!

Why would you want an updated Pen-F since Olympus don’t know how to make a really good small bodied camera? I’m puzzled.

Actually Leica has two 2 sensor sizes as well for L mount. FWIW.
