I'm not sure this is MFT, but it is quite pocketable and not very expensive. And, of course, this is a solution. Cheers.

Arno, take the filter OFF - nothing bad happens with your lens without filter, let your lens breath a little...

It looks like a dirt on glass elements of lens that produce a strange kind of a glare. Clean up front glass + BACK GLASS element that looks at sensor. If you use filter, remove it. I hope the ...

Both old GH2 and latest G85 have in menus setting that allows to eliminate delay related to " half press" shutter button. Well it works like you have manual focus lens while having AF "ON"

The whole background is replaced with pure white paint. Layer work and all other little enhancements have been made in ON1 RAW.

As others said: Use "crop" tool at early stages, so you can better understand the way you want to do adjustments.

I believe there are 2 different ways to stack focus with G80/85. 1. manuals page 129 based on taking 4K video. You can do it in camera or out of camera using software of your choice. My short ...

Sorry for the delay - I've found the plant related to 4th photo. I have no clue what the name of this plant, and you probably do.

Your idea about this thread is great. Thanks for nice words ( I like them very much  :-)  ) I guess third photo is a dog rose. Cheers S.
