or a total Greek!

I'll take the second of these two shots anytime.  (Not taken the same day.)

I once went somewhere specifically to take some pictures, but when I got there it didn't seem safe.  I had my camera bag with multiple lenses, etc., but took a quick phone photo and left.  A week ...

From p. 191 of the GX9 manual: ●A RAW still picture is always recorded at [4:3] (5184×3888). I don't have a GX9 so I don't know whether crop marks are shown on the RAW.

I've had 4 digital cameras as well:  FZ5, LX3, GF1, GX7. I use a neck strap on the camera, but I'm not willing to have that plus a camera bag hanging from my neck: it's one or the other.  Two ...

Mine gets used wide open since I'm often photographing indoors at night with available light.

That's the only reason I've given some thought to switching systems, since I'm currently throwing away pixels.

Is the GX9 the first Panasonic m4/3 camera to record raws always in 4:3?  As I shoot only in 3:2, having to crop every shot is a dismaying prospect.  And I, too, want a wired remote shutter ...

In good light, I use multi/matrix metering and some subjective exposure compensation when needed.  In dark restaurants and bars I apply a version of the zone system.  Spot meter on a face (~zone ...

I still have the OM system 50mm f/1.2 and 85mm f/2 but hardly ever use them on m4/3. I much prefer the results from the PanaLeica 25mm f/1.4 and 42.5mm f/1.2. (To be fair, I don't think I made the ...

Investigating the bench.

Like Méret Oppenheim's fur-lined teacup at MoMA!

From the manual:

I have read that the original Leica M Monochrom produces its histogram from RAW.

Though I long coveted a Spotmatic, my first SLR was a Nikkormat FTn.  Next came Olympus OM cameras.  Not until 2005 did I own a digital camera, but I never considered a DSLR due to size and ...

From Nikon's instructions on use of highlight-weighted metering: "When there is a bright light in the frame, the camera may treat the light as a highlight, leaving the main subject underexposed. ...

I haven't been a Nikon person for many years, but some Nikons offer highlight-weighted metering.

It wouldn't hurt to practice hand-holding binoculars.  You will see all the jitter in real time.
