I’ve been to Iceland twice, both times with gear that I already had: A battered-but-functional EM5.1 (which has since given up the ghost), the P12-35, PL15 and P35-100 f4.0, total weight 980g. Duri ...

It seems to me the GX85 (and I suppose also the GX9, which I do not own) are victims of their own success, or at least their own brilliantly executed design. They do so many things well, but ...

And yet, if only my GM-1 had a single control wheel...

So back then, did the people write scathing, mocking letters that f4.0 on a 4x5 was really only equivalent to f8.0 on an 8x10?

The screw-on viewfinder on the side reminds me a little of my old Olympus XA, which had a screw-on flash on the side. I loved that camera, but almost never bothered with the flash because it was...

With the Lumix GX9 at $539 body only, that camera plus the PanaLeica 15mm f1.7 keeps more or less the same form factor (and Leica snob appeal) but offers the versatility of interchangeable lenses...

Thanks, Woodsider, you have indeed improved my images. The problem that I felt I was facing was that if Iincreased exposure, the the highlights would get blown and the detail in the snow would get ...

First, thanks for having the courage to ‘fess up on something like this! My d’oh moment: Last summer I thought there was a real problem with my Panasonic 12-35 lens - the bottom left and top right ...

Very nice! There was a barred owl hanging around outside my house last summer, I got a few shots that I thought were okay, but they're almost embarrassing compared to yours. The last I saw of the ...

Thanks Fireplace.  Sure, if you have a moment, I'd like to see other ways of capturing winter landscapes. We're due for more snow, and next time I will definitely leave the camera in monochrome ...

Very nice compositions, sliders or not. Is that Estonia? I was in Tallinn once for a few days, but didn't get outside the city.

Thanks, Vahur, I tend to agree that for snowy landscapes, B&W works very well.  We're due for more snow next week, if I go out again I'll use the camera's monochrome settings and we'll see which ...

Hey everyone.  Last week the Washington DC area got about six inches of snow, not quite the Storm of the Century, but the most snow for the region in at least a couple of years.  I went for a walk ...

Impulses, I guess you’re right. Lesson learned, I should have known.

Whoa! I seriously didn't mean to troll, my only intent was to point out that size, weight and cost can be a relative concept. Mike, you immediately opened fire on me for that. "Excellent lens and...

See? I've provided you with yet another opportunity to go on about the superiority of your preferred format. No need to thank me...

I'm sure this is an excellent lens capable of capturing wonderful images, but I can't help but think that "lightweight" is highly relative. I get it that a lot of DP Review commenters are never...

My old Canon FTb was built like a tank and took all the punishment I could ever dish out, but you could hear that shutter click from a mile away. Those film days especially make me appreciate the...

Thanks - she's like Snow White out there, all the animals love her!

Thanks, Daneland.  I've got quite a few photos of foxes and birds, although there aren't nearly as many deer as there used to be (the county had to thin out the population a couple years ago).  ...
