Just to clarify for this novice, a polarizing filter will kill reflections from indoor lights as well as the sun?

Racism? Really? Most folks would level the same criticism at lily-white Volvo trying to pull the same BS.

Thanks for all the advice, folks. And, Gerry, that's some great information about RAW images not being pictures. Didn't realize my camera came with Olympus Viewer 3, but just found the CD. Will ...

I've had my Olympus E-M5 II for about 9 months now, and would like to start playing with raw images.  I see where I can do some editing with the camera, but I'm really limited by the small ...

I want it mainly for protection of an expensive lens, even though I do use the lens hood. Would rather clean dust, etc. off the filter than the lens glass! Ended up getting a Hoya haze filter with ...

I currently have two B+W clear filters. Looking to get another size filter for new lens. Are there any downsides to buying a haze filter vs clear? Also, with B+W being somewhat expensive, would I ...

Sounds like a plan, especially if the "cup of" is whiskey. :-) I don't shoot birds, but after reading this thread I was second-guessing my decision to go with the MFT format vs. Nikon FF.  ...

OP here. I ended up buying a new Oly 12-40 f/2.8 from an importer for $537 all-in.  After playing with it for just 20 minutes, I see why it gets such great reviews. As for weight, it's actually a ...

As an update to my original post, I ended up buying a new 12-40 lens from an eBay seller for $537 shipped.  It took 11 days to reach me, even though I think it traveled from Australia to ...

Thanks for the tips, Guy!

Just FYI, if you are looking at Nikon D7200 & D7500, the D7200 has an auto indexing lever that works with the old manual focus Nikkor AI lenses, which can be had for a song.  For some reason, ...

One man's barbell is another's balloon!

Took a leap of faith and ordered a non-USA version from eBay seller "buybuybox.global" for $537 shipped.  It took 11 days to receive, but I think it came from Australia to Washington state, and ...

Well, I see where Olympus has dropped prices again.  The 12-40 F/2.8 is back to $799, which makes used ones less expensive.  I wonder if we'll see another price drop for Black Friday, or if this ...

He signed a contract with a college to display the photos in 3018. Seriously? I wonder if he gets paid now or on delivery of the product? Might want to try some shorter exposures first, like...

I was referring to B&H.  Current prices for used are $818 and $848, where the NEW price had been $799 for several months. I do see where Adorama has them in lesser condition for $589 and $609. But ...

I bought my E-M5 II in Spring 2018.  Since then I've had a few lenses on my wish list, but the prices have increased significantly since then -- by as much as 25%.  In fact, the entry level 40-150 ...

Might be a nice feature on a bright day where the display is almost useless. Or if the device has an adjustable diopter, it would be great for people who don't want to pull out their reading...

I see Olympus as being the Suburu of camera companies.  Nowhere near the product offerings, advertising budget, or sales of the big guys, but a profitable niche market nonetheless.

Yes, I bought an adapter but haven't played with it much. Seems like the main issue was with the aperture ring on infinity, the lens is not focused on infinity. Having to focus on mountains is ...
