Ebay ( U.S. )has a current listing for the Sigma 105mm four third lens  for $199. That's a pretty good price if the lens is in as good condition as they say. I really wish I had picked up the 150 ...

Sigma made a 105 f 2.8 macro for the E series four third cameras. I used that with an E410 underwater in a housing, and was much easier than using the Olympus 50mmF 2.0. The extra working distance ...

Depends on the rain. I used plastic shower caps on the body and an optech sleeve or plastic bag on the lens at times, but often just kept my E30 and lens under my rain coat. Take it out for quick ...

A longer macro lens would certainly be useful , especially underwater.  My most used underwater lens with the FT cameras was the 105 Sigma . If Olympus made a 7 or 8 mm rectilinear lens I would ...

Well you certainly attracted a lot of attention with the post. And I don't disagree with you. Since I prefer zoom lenses for their convenience I think most primes are overrated . The only prime I ...

Olympus 60 mm f2.8 and any of the Olympus OMD bodies would be fine.  I bought my 60mm from Olympus refurbished site for $319.00

Fast zoom lenses in general, and especially fast zoom telephoto lenses tend to be relatively heavier than the slower consumer lenses.  I am also not fond of changing lenses and have accepted the ...

Thanks for the review, those are very nice shots showing what the lens can do. I didn't get the Samyang FE  because I wasn't sure I would want to deal with he fish eye look that much. You ...

Pretty much agree with your conclusions, but some qualities of the "PRO" lenses benefit any user. Weather sealing, more robust build, and faster maximum aperture are desirable in any lens. However ...

Your card will hold 2 hours of video, but you have to shoot it 30 minutes at a time.

Thanks for the review. Certainly convinced me that I want the lens. I have the old ZD 9-18 and rarely shoot above 9mm, and thought the Olympus 7-14 would be used the same way. A 7.5 mm rectilinear ...

A contract with a clause like that certainly demonstrates a lack of confidence or skill on the part of the " professional" . The term  " pro grade equipment" is pretty vague. Is a Nikon D3300 pro, ...

Its been a lot of years since I shot a wedding, but I remember the owner of the studio repeating the mantra that " lighting is everything" You need to find out if the church will allow you to use a ...

Nice shots. Especially the butterfly. Curious as to what housing and port system you are using . And is the 12-40 wide enough underwater, are you using it with a dome?

It will likely go sale again, but who knows when. I bought mine used from KEH about a 15 months after it was released and paid about $750. It was worked perfectly , is likely one of the best ...

People who use cell phones for photographs are not likely to be pixel peepers, and could care less about DR and bokeh. Cell phone cameras are actually   perfect for recording an image or short ...

Computers have become a small part of Apples business, they make much more selling phones. Desktop machines have become much less popular than laptops, so it's not surprising the upgrade cycle is...
