When the GX1 came out, I had the GF1 and really coveted the GX1.  Mostly because its accessory viewfinder was actually useable; the low-resolution viewfinder for the GF1 didn't help in the least ...

When I got my GX7 I switched from being a lifelong left-eye shooter to right-eye.  This was not for nose-related reasons but so I could see through both eyes while using the camera; as it happens, ...

(Today is April 1st)

In Chicago I'm settling for the likes of this.  And a bit of grass.

There's also a macro lens situated right between 30mm and 60mm:  the PanaLeica 45mm f/2.8.

Nocticron, but thanks to the pandemic-induced rarity of photographing people, increasingly the Olympus 75mm (works fine on small wildlife).

It surprises me that Lightroom doesn't allow me to select on orientation metadata (or at least Lightroom 6 does not as far as I can tell).  EXIF includes an Orientation tag.  When constructing ...

I don't have any watch pictures, but I took this because there was an obvious problem with the bracelet of my watch and it needed fixing.  This was taken with the PanaLeica 45mm macro lens stopped ...

ISO 25600 -3EV  ha!

My holy trinity is the PanaLeica 15mm, PanaLeica 25mm, and PanaLeica 42.5mm. The Olympus 75mm is on its way toward edging out the Nocticron, as in these pandemic days I no longer take people ...

Not my absolute favorite m4/3 lens, but in the spirit of the question: the 15mm PanaLeica.

I have a 2012 27" iMac quad-core i7, 16GB RAM.  It's intolerably slow, and I plan to replace it this year with a new M1 iMac. I also have a Linux box from 2019 with an AMD Ryzen5 6-core CPU and ...

Several years ago we decided to print a book of my late mother's paintings.  Using photos taken by her gallery, I had a few books printed (as a test) by Blurb, and they looked pretty good.  But ...

Concert and travel photography is hardly possible these days.  And what I used to do most, shots of my friends in dark bars and restaurants, even less so.

Me, in 1963.  No-name Japanese fixed-lens rangefinder camera. Actually, the brand was Beauty.  (Someone asks, "young feller, what make is that camera?"  Me: "it's a Beauty."  You see the problem.)

I've used LibreOffice for years, on Mac OS and Linux.  I use the Writer and Calc components, and both can read/write Microsoft formats.  Some people complain about problems with macros in complex ...

Since my first digital camera in 2005 I've used Transcend cards.  For my G9 I bought Sony Tough cards, and they work fine (and do not get stuck in the camera).  I have no reason to doubt that my ...

I have touch screen always off on my cameras.  Perhaps that's overkill but it's a solution.

Before I open a mail from an unexpected sender, I click on "view message source," which is often informative.

If your Mac needs to restarted every few days, there's a hardware problem or software that has a memory leak. My 2012 iMac has been up a fairly long time since last startup (and has often been up ...
