The image displayed in your viewfinder changes display level. There are three levels. The largest covers the entire viewfinder while the other two have black bezels around the image. It is intended ...

Do you live in the Netherlands? In the unlikely event that you or someone you know is passing by Prague, CZ, I could lend you my Olympus 12-40/2.8 Mark I and Panasonic 35-100/2.8 Mark II to try out. ...

Not a bad combo at all. An alternative setup for a bit less money would be the Olympus 12-40/2.8 + Sigma 56mm 1.4. Equally sharp and slightly different rendering, which is down to taste. The main ...

The 35-150 is great for events indeed, and I do rent it occasionally to use with my A9 (can't afford to buy it yet - maybe later). I no longer use my G9 for events after buying the A9, I need the ...

A good MFT kit can produce very good results in decent lighting conditions. I keep using the G9 for street photography, because for me, there isn't a meaningful IQ difference between my G9 and my ...

Fair enough. Personally, I just don't need more than 20 MP, and smaller files make for a less demanding workflow overall. I'll admit post-processing is the weakest link in my skillset, but I can't ...

The R6 doesn't have a stacked sensor, which makes it useless for me. I shoot a lot of live theatre where a silent shutter is a must have. There are currently only 5 full frame cameras in the world ...

They could build it around a relatively low MP count sensor (20-24) with excellent low light capabilities. Pros likely to use the A9 range would have a lot more use for that over more MP, which ...

I would also suggest renting the Oly 40-150/2.8 on a separate occasion. If there is enough light, it will produce excellent images throughout the range. If there isn't enough light, you will need ...

I don't do birds, but I love live events. I got into them last year, and found a niche for myself locally. So far, all the other event photographers I've bumped into locally use old school "noisy ...

I started my theatre photography with a G9 and 2.8 zoom lenses, which did kind of work. It did take a lot of work in post-processing though. I ended up going full frame in the end for a lot of ...

A few photos from my travels in SE Asia these last couple of months. I packed light for the trip - the G9 + 12-40/2.8 + 35-100/2.8. I prefer to travel with hand luggage only. A beach somewhere in ...

While what you say is true, the point is that with advanced AI denoising through Topaz/DxO, M4/3 sensors can now achieve acceptable noise levels in low light conditions. FF sensors have been able ...

You made some good points there. In my personal experience however, noise is not the primary disadvantage of M4/3 in low light; dynamic range is. As you point out, Topaz and DxO have become very ...

I use both M4/3 (Panasonic G9) and Sony (A9). I use the G9 for street and travel photography as I love the tiny lens size and the A9 for everything else (events, concerts etc.). If I were you, I'd ...

I would also guess shooting JPEGs slows you down. Try RAW. I never shoot JPEG so not sure that's an issue, but I've read others saying it may be. Obviously also format the cards in-camera prior to ...

The laptop has a 1650 GTX ... not ancient exactly. I hear they actually sell GPUs now, instead of just releasing them on paper; might be able to even buy one now :-)

I use the latest versions of both (I have an Adobe subscription including Lightroom and Photoshop, and have bought DxO Photolab 5 Elite). My laptop doesn't use the latest chip, it's a 10th Gen ...

I have a MSI laptop from 2019 which really struggles with large files in Lightroom (and denoising in DxO). It has a 4 core Intel CPU, 16 GB of RAM, an nVidia 1650 GPU and two NVMe M.2 SSDs. The CPU ...

I use the Peak Design wrist strap, very happy with it. I don't like neck straps so never tried those. I don't find that the wrist strap gets in the way at all when I'm not using it. I'm ...
