Yep, I've been looking at the PL 8-18 for a while. The Olympus 8-25 presents a pretty compelling alternative. I don't think I'd be interested if I already owned the 8-18.

Didn't vote. It would depend on where I was going but if the lens was glued to my camera I'd use the PL 15.  FWIW, I do think going out shooting with a single focal length is a really good photo ...

Thanks, I've tried as many used outlets as I could think of. Folks at KEH said they didn't think they'd ever had one. Guess I'll need to go the E-bay route. Does it work well for you?

I have the 50-200 and am interested in purchasing the 1.4x tele-extender. I believe they are compatible. I'm in the US and it doesn't seem to be available except with the 200 f/2.8. Any ...

Terrific shot!

I've never had one. The reputation of the f/2.8 was that it was not great optically.

I agree with Ricardo. I think image quality is better from the GX9 than any of the 16mp m43 cameras I've used (never used GX80) but the differences are not dramatic. I think the kit 12-60 lens is ...

There are times when the phone app is fine. Other times, not so much. If you're trying to move around on a rocky coastline, dealing with both camera/tripod and phone makes the likelihood of ...

To the best of my knowledge your only options are to use timed shutter release or using the phone app. I also have a G9 that I use for times and situations in which I need a remote release, but ...

There's a comparison video review on this site. dpreview-tv-panasonic-g9-vs-olympus-e-m1-mark-iii-who-s-the-king-of-micro-four-thirds Overall, they give a very slight edge to the Olympus, but it's ...

You can download trial versions of most of the available editors. Different editors have different user interfaces and you're the only person who can really determine if you're comfortable with ...

For the record, I've used both brands and use both brands of lenses. I've not used either of those bodies. I've gravitated towards Panasonic bodies and currently use a G9 and GX9. I find the ...

I think if you look at your list of what you like about each you've answered your question. I've used both Olympus and Panasonic bodies, though neither of the two you're specifically looking at. ...

Of course none of us fully knows. Strong rumors of updated iPad Pros and the little "find me button thingies" will finally make it to market. Several models of iMacs, especially the 21.5", are not ...

I've seen a few other folks with the same comment. I have PL4 so I don't need this. The inability to adjust sharpening intensity seems like a major limitation.

If anyone else is interested I found an app named SnapMotion. It's $8.95 on the Mac apps store. I've not worked with it a lot but it's extracting 6k files and exports them to a variety of formats. ...

I also suspect it adds nothing over PL4. I think the lens module and noise reduction of PL4 to really be terrific but overall don't use it extensively for other processing. PureRaw looks like it's ...

Placed 66^th in the challenge. Taken at a fish market in Paris. Don't recall the specific location.

Placed 21^st in the challenge. This was taken from Jardins de Marqueyssac near Sarlat. The village is La-Roque Gageac on the Dordogne river. The whole region was absolutely spectacular.
