Weia: Nice comparisons!  Thank you very much for sharing your results.  I also tend to think of macro in terms of "how many pixels do I have covering the frame of interest". I also have been ...

I am not sure about the 28/2.8.  I have the OM 28/3.5 lens.  It works fine on M43 and a FF Sigma FP.  It was designed for SLRs with moving mirrors so the lens sits well ahead of a digital sensor ...

I bought the E1 in 2003 and sent it to Oly repair in 2004 to replace a loose rubber grip.  When it was returned the work list included replacement of the memory door latch.  I found this an odd ...

And mirror lock-up and a two second delay after pressing the shutter:)

I use a remote cable release to prevent shake and bumping of the set-up. CDC

I totally concur with the Sigma 4/3rds macro suggestions paired with the mmf adapters i have the 105 and 150 sigma macros and they are wonderful! CDC

I had a 240D then a 300SD Turbo then a w124 gas burner. They all succumbed to rust! small world!

Coincidences. I have the same 9cm Elmar I have the adjustable hood too. I got mine for only $50 because the aperture ring was very stiff. I did a full cleaning and it works great. I use it on my ...

I second the recommendation to get an EM1x now. Prices are low and supply is abundant. I just got a barely used one for my wife for $800 and she loves it. CDC

Hi Travis Nice narrative and sample shots!  As for the veiling and flare,  a good CLA might help. I picked up an OM 135 f3.5 last month for$5. It had haze and fungus and suffered from flare. I ...

Hi Adapted Talk Forum Friends: This morning I completed the resurrection of an Olympus OM 135mm F3.5 lens.  I bought it at a local trade show for $5.  It was full of fungus but otherwise pretty ...

I tend to agree with what others have offered. I have a background in lubes. Grease is a mixture of oil and additives half in place by a solid matrix typically made up of soap fibers that act as a ...

On my EM1x the busy bar appears in whichever screen I happen to be using when I trip the shutter. This is, I think, because the camera does not check the eye sensor (that changes the operating ...

Do you use a backpack when walking?  If so, I might suggest getting a camera harness that attaches to the D rings found on camera backpack straps. I have a harness from black rapid. The camera ...

Hi Gary: I agree that placing the moss up high to have an uncluttered background is effetive.  Here's a recent example: Moss sample held up high with a pond surface as the backdrop Stacking is fun ...

Definitely a handy feature! you can also try differing focus spots and this speeds choices for later stacking.

Hi Jim i had the very same curiosity. I have done both in camera and on-computer stacking several times and gotten very comparable results. I find the in camera method very effective in refining ...

Hi All: Here's an update on the purple corners I have noticed when using the Sigma FP with an old 35mm rangefinder lens, the Leica 3.5cm Summaron. It appears that perhaps the Sigma FP is a bit ...

I am really enjoying the in-camera image stacking feature of the newer Olympus camera.  Paired with the 60mm macro lens, taking such images is a breeze.  Here I used a tripod and took 15 images. ...

I'll give a thumbs up for the 45mm.  I think it is quite good.  It is just not fast:) Here's a shot taken from my office window, through not-so-clean glass.  The 45mm is good enough for me: Sigma ...
