Agreed; a tilted screen will be most welcome.

I just bought a Olympus EM10.2+60mm macro as additional gear for precisely this reason (and better AF for macro shots of bugs)

LOL;  I just entered the m43 platform. Bought myself a nice discounted E-M10.2 (€300, new) and 60mm macro (€370, new) to supplement my current Pentax gear. Planning to buy the new 12-45mm f/4 too.

Exactly. Especially hikers and older photographers who are after high IQ and lower weight, and who are beyond FF bragging.

I know. Using a tripod it’s all fine; but that doesn’t work for butterflies and bees... And I’m all n for trying out the  EVF experience (only used a Fuji X100s for this; but that’s a whole ...

...But I just ordered my first Olympus m43 camera: a E-M10 ii and a 60mm macro, both new (and discounted ;-). Of course I’m aware of the current situation regarding Olympus, but I’m the stubborn ...

Thanks for all the advice. For now, I'll be heading for vacation today, so I stick with my current gear for the moment, but keep an eye out for the pics that I can't take. Will be continued. Patrick

Yes, I noticed that lens too when searching for "pentax wide angle macro". Interesting.

Nice photo's! Do you have any thought of what these photo's would look like when taken with a 100mm macro? Just the background perspective? or also the DOF? (depends on f/ of course, but in terms ...

Thanks for your opinion. Not sure if I'm a true (1:1) macro guy though; more a close-up guy. But you'll need a macro lens for that too!

Hm, it's getting more tempting by the day. It's surprisingly hard to find these days! Here in the Netherlands only one (online) shop has it in stock! But that's the fate of a pentaxian in 2020 I'm ...

Thanks; All I can find of her are some (amazing) 100mm macro photos. And some lessons: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/2437004 which are all to familiar!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will consider that!

Thanks; I considered picking up a second hand 55-300 (had one before; got stolen ..) but the copy has been sitting in the drawer for too long; I could't get it to focus properly, so I didn't made ...

Hi fellow pentaxians, K3ii shooter here. Just wondering what the added value of the 35mm Ltd macro would be. I’ve got the 20-40 Ltd and the 100mm macro, so both the 35mm FL and macro capacity is ...

It’s a placeholder. The new company name will be decided upon later.

No, they should focus on smart, small, light and high IQ. By adopting the strong points of phones: connectivity and especially computational photography. Think about it, the other way around isn’t...

Same for me. Just remove the battery for a few seconds.

System camera lenses are already very good. To be competitive to phones they should incorporate the phone's main trick: computational photography. Olympus was already on that track (in-camera focus...

Probably true. Similar to what's happening with Scotch whisky: the sales of the blends (that contain mainly industrial grain whisky; and only) subsidises the single malt whiskies (of which ~80% is...

@Anonymous Pi: I was not blaming the /developers/ (or calling them incompetent); Adequate testing is not just their responsibility (if it is at all), but the project manager's.
