As others have mentioned it’s great for triggering an off camera strobe. I bought one from KEH for around $40 to trigger my Metz 15-MS 1 on my GX8. It works great for this purpose, though  the ...

The next step you can get her an enlarger, developing trays , paper, and the proper chemicals so she can have the full experience.

The Panasonic 4/3 to MFT will work fine, though it’s not rated as weather proof     . I’ve used it with the  Sigma 105mm  4/3 macro lens on an EM1 without difficulty. I thought the 50-  200 and ...

For me , the EVF is almost unusable. I’ve heard that the newer model has an upgraded EVF, plus slight longer reach,

Planing to buy the Canon SX70 for my wife, to replace her SX50. She is a casual photographer , but likes the super zoom bridge cameras for backyard birding. Any thoughts on the newer model?

For me the primary benefit of an ILC is flexibility. The Sony RX 10 is a rather large  one camera solution. Essentially your carrying around a 600mm FL when you’re shooting 24-70mm . In the m43 ...

You're have waaaayy to much fun on here :)

It hunted and was slow to focus even on the E30 FT camera. I generally used it in manual focus for macro. I still have the lens but rarely use it since getting the mft 60mm.

Great all around camera with a fixed , fast zoom lens and relatively large sensor. It has great manual controls and is easier to handle than the Sony RX100 series, which I found a little too ...

I’d certainly like the “free” 75 mm, and would probably find some uses for it. But it’s sort of a niche lens, could never justify buying one for limited uses.

I paid $600 for a used GX8 2 years ago, in truly like new condition. For me a tilting LCD screen would have been better, but in use is the articulating screen is no a problem as I use the truly ...

On how much you have to pay for it. I bought a used GX8 3 years ago from KEH around $600. I still use and like the camera. Very accessible controls, decent menu system and handles well…at least ...

It would be a silly product for Panasonic or OMDS. Leica can get away with a “ limited” production of a camera like that, because, well , they’re Leica.  The folks who buy Leica are not driven by ...

Yep. Have had this lens for years, also have the LUMIX 42.5, which is also a very good portrait lens. I have found  no evident difference in IQ between the lumix and the olympus lens. The “best ...

If your going to buy used. Far better C-AF than the EM5 ii, and lower cost than the mark iii.

Like many I started in the film days, and always used artificial lighting. Still using external flash today , especially portraits, both indoor and outdoors. Fill flash can make all the difference

You can stop down the lens to whatever F stop is appropriate for the composition

I agree used is the way to go.  I bought the EM1.1 new in 2013. After several years ( out of warranty) the rubber body coating began delaminating, though camera worked fine. I used it with the ...

In addition to lens and lighting , close ups of live subjects requires patience and quite bit of skill. Something I’m working on, but still lacking.

There are many new features added to newer camera bodies, it is hard to  separate out the source of any improved IQ. It could processing software , the sensor or both. Going from the 12mp E30 to ...
