Messier Object

I agree that high fps and pre-capture can be useful, however the number of  keeper images can vary. The good frames are usually mixed in with images which are too soft or have the subject in ...

Back in 2010 when this thread was started  the 4/3 system was still alive and well. Now, all of the 4/3 lenses are ‘legacy lenses’ My favourite legacy lens right now is a lens that I hadn’t even ...

The human factor should not affect the results much. At a given focal length the user (Sgt sniper or Mr shakes) needs to measure the difference between their lowest usable shutter speed with IS ...

Can you give an example please. Are you talking about say a 50mm F2.8 lens in two different formats or are you referring to F2.8 lenses with the same angle of view in different formats ? Peter

The deal is not available to “anyone”. Actually, for most people this deal is not available. Peter

Very nice images Dennis. The Fairywren indeed looks ratty, and those pin feathers on his head don’t help. Most of our locals have completely lost their colours. Some of the best Pardalote images ...

that’s a beaut shot Danny, love the angle you got on the bird - were you elevated? We certainly saw a lot of them - just about every paddock and field and often in pairs. Thanks for the kind offer ...

I think the Image  would look much better if cropped to a square aspect ratio and the rusty hand rails were removed from the foreground. I’d also prefer that the background was more in focus, even ...

If you have a multimeter, or you know someone who can’t do this for you, you can check continuity of the connections from one side of the adapter to the other. I’ve done this with the original ...

Excellent follow up story and pics with the caterpillar and wasp. I believe that there is a certain density of decoys required to effect good protection. Also the decoys don’t need to be life-like, ...

Adapted lenses without electronic connections are a simple matter - the camera has zero communication with the lens. But lenses with numerous electrical connection pins are not, especially if one ...

A very nice set Danny. Your harrier is one bird my wife and I love to hate as we spent what seemed to be hours chasing them on the South Island on two seperate trips there. Beautiful birds in ...

Squeezing it to gain purchase to rotate the filter will cause it to bind even more tightly. As suggested above, pressing it face-on to a rubbery surface and rotating is the option I’d try. But if ...

I have displeased some happy owners of this lens with my past comments :-( But the answer you seek may indeed be found in this sub-thread ;-) Peter

thanks Costas apologies for not acknowledging you by name for your earlier contribution. . It's really not a big deal, but whenever I find anomalies and what I think are bugs I will always report ...

that news item was regarding the Mk 1 and the feature was added via firmware. as I wrote above, with my Mk II I removed the lens and very closely watched the sensor/shutter area when the camera is ...

I can’t tell if the tick mark is caused by 1st or 2nd curtain In Anti-shock mode the camera makes a click at the start of the anti-shock exposure. I’m not sure what that is - I’ve looked at the ...

How real ? there is one Olympus Pro lens from which I have seen (forum user posts, samples pics and reviews) many images with out of focus backgrounds rendered as a horribly nervous mess. The lens ...

Depends on subject, lens and location. at home (southern edge of Sydney) light pollution and sky glow limits me to about 200sec cumulative exposure using 600mm lens at F5.6.  ISO1600 seems to be ...

You could get a 90D with its 32Mpx sensor  to use when you want extra reach Peter
