obsolescence

Moot point? How would you duplicate the video effect of a clickless aperture ring when controlling the aperture from the Olympus body? You couldn't.

Body aperture control is not as flexible or usable for video, esp. compared to de-clicked aperture rings.

Also note that some Panasonic lenses have an aperture ring that doesn't work on Olympus cams.

The Leica reminds me of the coronavirus.

That's an interesting way of working that I shall have to try out -- using presets to preview the look of the final output while shooting. I'm not sure how reliable the viewfinder (even less the ...

The case of Olympus EM1-MkII and more recent models is interesting in that extended ISO64 or 100 actually has the potential to produce more detail (with a capable lens) at the cost of reduced...

Sorry, but most of your technical teminology is incomprehensible to me, so I'll need to study this. The calibration software (Spyder4Pro) indicates a narrow range in which to set the brightness to...

In my mostly-darkened room, the monitor calibration I use (SpyderPro) prompts me to adjust the brightness of my Apple LCD screen to about 70%. I guess that means there's a good deal more...

With proper implementation (server-based application) Panoramic VR works marvelously well now with or without a headset. It works on computers, mobile devices, and within Facebook as well. Apple...

Do not trust Apple "support" for their proprietary tech -- they left us QuickTimeVR users high and dry.

Chump change for the DOD.

Re: testing a lens w/ HR -- with camera set up perfectly plano-parallel to a flat subject with fine detail such as a large map, and then viewing actual pixels, I'm able to discern even slight...

@CaPi -- I know the process very well because I use it for most of my work with EM5-II and EM1-II cameras. With careful technique and the right subject, it definitely can reveal the performance of...

Nice selection of images! I would have liked to see at least one High Res Shot, however, which truly reveals a lens' ability to resolve fine detail (and other qualities).

Hard to compete in the crowded FF market. A solution I have proposed is for the two companies to team up to build a 44:33 Medium Format system to compete with Fujifilm's, although the timing now...

6x6cm would be ideal, if they could slice it.

I’d like to see Pentax and Olympus partner not only on MFT but also 44:33 medium format mirrorless, although I know this is not a good time.

I am allergic, so get that away from me, please.

@Toselli -- No, that is incorrect. There are two products: the Laowa Magic Format Converter for Fujifilm GFX cameras https://www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-magic-format-converter-mfc/ increases...

Laowa has a similar product for Sony E mount called the Magic Shift Converter which adds a shift movement to the TC lens.
