Sorry, I should have paid more attention. Keep in mind that Gordon shoots jpeg, not raw, he always mention it in his podcasts, and he even wrote a book valled ,,in camera,, about this. Maybe the ...

Thanks for being polite. Panasonic cameras for me always had worse performance for long exposures, regarding what sensor. Olympus always was a bit better. Plus, if you don’t know, Panasonic have a ...

Gordon's photo is taken at ISO 200 and just above that link you said you find the problems at 1600-3200, so that can be the difference. I do shoot long exposures, but for me long exposures mean ...

Damn, this is my go to raw processor. It is by far the best in my opinion.

Too bad. I use Flickr and I always thought and still think it is great. There is no other service that offers the same combo of features and capabilities, not even those where you pay a lot of...

The basic rules of composition are very good as a starting point, or as a reference. They do make sense a lot sometimes. But don't get really hung up on them, it doesn't mean that you should ...

Yes, something like that, I cropped it to show you, so to the crop I did, think of adding just a bit more water at the bottom, and a bit more of the island on the right side.

They all look good exept for #1 in witch the foreground looks very distracting to me. But I would choose #4 as a favourite. The problem I have is with the framing. The tower and the stump are right ...

They are, just like they recognise the fact that lots of folks prefer the fully articulated, that’s why they are making both types. The ideal situation can be to have the same camera with both ...

For shooting with a flat or log profile, those are HEAVILY underexposed, I’d say about 2 stops at least. The first rule for shooting log is to shoot ETTR as much as possible. That right there ...

Yes, that. This combo can shoot anything except fast sports at night. For ultra wide you can stitch. It can C-AF very well, and there really are no optical compromises with this lens. This combo ...

It seems you know exactly what you want and that’s always a good thing, so have fun. To comment on your telephoto request, the Canon lens you mentioned is one of the best ,,consumer,, telephoto on ...

That’s always the case with flat profiles. Even the A7s has noticeable noise when shooting in S-Log2. The basics of if is that you shoot log, the image look like cr@p but offers the most lattitude ...

I also like and use the 14-140mm and often it is my only travel lens. However, the image quality of the 45-175mm at the telephoto end is in a differemt league, really, night and day difference, ...

If you only need 100mm the 35-100mm Panny is the way to go. For longer reach and still extremely compact and very high quality, the 45-175mm. The best small and cheap body is the GX85, it has EVF ...

Yes maybe my friend was comparing it with TC and haven’t paid attention. Looking right now, it seems that the Panasonic 50-200mm is better than the options discussed here.

I use this hack for quite a while. Got no need for Cine D but I like Cine V and I always used it

I appreciate all the replies. I consider every comment relevant, maybe there are other people wondering about the difference between these 2 lenses, with or without TC, and other differences.

I never owned any of those lenses but I did shot with both, however on very different cameras and many years apart so I could’t really compare. So why this post ? Well one of my friends used the ...

Don’t do AF, unless you’re willing to risk out of focus footage or drifting AF. Single AF is very easy for what you want to do. And that’s not even appliable only to Panasonic, even much better ...
