  • Replied in EM-1 mkiii
    I voted for G9 but I just got my E-M1 mk3 today. I think its a better camera but it bothers me i bought it to use with a panasonic lens 100-400 Leica.  When i bought my E-m1 i was seeing G9 for ...
  • I have a sony A7IV with a tamron 150-500mm super telephoto so i never expected to do any birding with my cell phone, but i was able to get a shot of a king fisher from an immense distance.  The ...
  • Thanks for all the feedback, i just wanted to make sure i wouldnt regret using a panasonic lens on an olympus body. Pretty amazed some of you have posted really sharp results at 400mm with very ...
  • I struggled with this choice, but yesterday I bought an Olympus E-m1.3.  While i might regret that because i was 99% sure i already wanted the PL 100-400mm.  The G9 was older and the gh6/ G9 ii ...
  • Oh i did that first, but none of the results really answered the question.  Just a bunch of people talking about build qualities and features instead of whats it like to carry around and direct ...
  • Created discussion thread PL 100-400mm vs Oly 100-400
    FF snob here... got tired of carrying around a giant lens on my nature walks.  I looked really hard at Fuji but decided to try something completely new and honestly the fuji 100-400mm is still ...
  • If you are doing wild life you should certainly be looking at the E-m1.  I just ordered one about an hour ago...  The thing is, the wildlife you will want to photography will always be to far away ...
  • Replied in Sony A99ii
    I wouldnt and i love the A99 mk1/mk2.  They are pretty old at this point and the only advantage is the ergonomics.  I am really impressed with my Sony A7iv and some of the new e mount glass is ...
  • ill probably goto the pentax forums.  The thing i loved about dpreview is i could pop in to other forums and see how things were going.  I still have some A mount lenses, but really want to try a ...
  • I like the pentax forums, but i dont currently own a pentax -- so while i was already on dpreview i would sometimes pop in here to see how pentax was doing...  This really bums me out... I have a ...
  • A possible uptick in users isnt going to save twitter when they lose all their revenue streams.  So far, i havent seen a single good thing he has done with it, besides lay everyone off.  Good ...
  • Yeah, i love the landscapes posted in here -- but living in Michigan I just dont have access to beautiful scenery without driving 3 hours.  Almost always overcast, completely grey, lifeless trees, ...
  • Stopped over to a friends house to take pictures of his pets.  Only one cooperated, but by battery died before i got shots i was really happy with.
  • Its a shade of grey called knitting needle -- I am not using a color calibrated monitor either , i think i moved the color balance in spp just a light touch towards yellow / red.  i usually click ...
  • Created discussion thread Sigma DP1m pet portraits
    I never thought id be using a DP1m for portraits, but its really not that bad. Bounced flash off the ceiling and had a piece of white cardboard in the background. I didnt spend much time making ...
  • Those are awesome! In Michigan i rarely get to see the sky -- between 300 days a year of overcast and unlimited amount of trees blocking my view. I just got my dp1m, but i guess my fav is this one.
  • is it bias?  I think the average person who would buy an FP over a sony A7III / Canon eos R would be upset at their decision.  Chris's audience is not just sigma forums, but all people shopping ...
  • i really doubt i would want any lens bigger then aps-c F1.8. A big part of the appeal of a sigma DP1m is that it fits in a pocket, but i absolutely wish it was a 23mm F2 lens or something a little ...
  • Its pretty neat. when you see interesting weather you can go out and take a picture of the sky and later import it to new or older photos. Usually the barn roof tricks the software and i have to ...
  • It was very early in the morning -- one was under exposed hand held. THe other was exposed better 1/13th but i let the camera rest on the roof of the car -- then had to crop some to fix the angle. ...
