Messier Object

You responded to just one sentence I wrote. Here, let me remove that sentence for you . . . Isn’t it cheaper than the Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 1.25x ? It seems that quite a few of the regulars on ...

It's unlikely that such a small overvoltage will cause damage, however without knowing whether (and what kind of) protection is built into the camera's circuitry we can't be sure. The fact that ...

Back with a catchy new name  ;-) Peter

This will be a duller place with you gone Peter

Isn’t it cheaper than the Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 1.25x ? It seems that quite a few of the regulars on this forum have bought that lens, and it’s been in high demand and short supply. There must be ...

you think ? I think that within a year the R3 will dominate the sidelines of all sporting events and the press gaggles at every press conference around the world it’s the flagship of the leading ...

But does the EF70-200 get lower burst rates on an R body than it does on a DSLR ? What features of an R body are withheld when you mount an EF lens ? Peter

What I see as Canon's real wow factor is that I can use any of my EF lenses with any of the R bodies without loss of function or performance. I don't need to buy new RF lenses We can't say that ...

Hi Carol I use two 300mm F2.8 lenses for birding. The Olympus ZD is black and the Canon EF is  'white' - or at least Canon's off-white. I don't use coats or covers and I've used both in some pretty ...

all correct Tom, but your comparison "for interest sake" has the oldest and heaviest of the EF400mm F2.8 lenses. I know it's the one you own,  but equally "for interest sake" is a comparison using ...

sorry to hear that your trip and family visit was spoiled by the lockdown My wife and I were supposed to make another NZ trip this year . . . We love your South Island and the areas around ...

perhaps at 8mm a complex optical design is required for rectilinear image rendering with good IQ and the result will be big and expensive. And maybe for a FF sensor it can be done more cheaply ...

I like the brighter version of the Red-winged image - thanks for doing that Mark. Re your Purple-backed, I'm not seeing the definitive purple shade in the bird's mantle. . ? and now You've got me ...

A very pleasing result Mark - and a very cute bird that could almost pass for the eastern Variegated Fairywren. I would like to see a bit more lifting of the shadows on the bird  - if that can be ...

The most important thing for me is PDAF support for my Olympus 4/3 lenses. Between 2005 and 2012 I bought a set of very good Olympus 4/3 lenses, some of which have no current m.43 equivalent or ...

Terrific ! he/she looks like the gatekeeper, ”you shall not pass” ! Peter

I recall the Olympus E-1 being around AU$ 4,000 at release here - why I kept using my OM film cameras for a few more years before spending ~ AU$2,000 on an E-300 Peter

x Are you suggesting that he had the E-M1 III set for -2.0 EV exposure compensation ? Peter
