Disagree. Uptime nears 100%. Ownership stays with you. Help is good, reasonably fast if you ask succinctly and politely - and have realistic expectations.

Occasionally I didn't get the answer...

Smugmug isn't bad at all. It is much cheaper (if you value your time) than self-hosting and maintaining a web presence.

I switched to it because $12 per month represents a fraction of the value...

Panoramas? Hugin. Best of the best - and free! Their support forum is littered with ex-adobe users who found something superior, faster. and vastly more capable. Truly multi-platform  - ...

MFT does all I want - Have a look at what I get up to with it. http://photohounds.smugmug.com/browse So much less to carry!  Minuscule IQ difference.

Probably about time we started talking angle of view, millimetres is the HOW, not the WHAT. Angle of view describes the "look" of the images a lens will make, no mattter the format. My RB-67 50mm ...

EM-1 ii can do 50MP images They are downscaled from 8o megasamples.

Agreed, and FMF 1,2 lenses (full marketing frame) have severe corner shading (vignetting), bulk, weight and extreme wide-open softness. There's no free lunch.

VOILA! Witness the de-fished Zuiko 8mm fisheye on an EM-1v2. Two lenses in one and no apparent drawback (if you desire both capabilities).

You're right the 17 is a good, small lens. The 15 is little better in real applications, Want top-notch? Get the 1,2 - simple as that. Users dictating the "correct aperture" is quite funny - as is ...

The reverse is actually the case. The EM1.2's IS kills full marketing frame systems - by 2 stops or so. A moot issue on that score - it's already 1.x stops ahead.

Camera used: Irrelevant
Creativity: Very Important.

FTR he also seems to shoot with FULLER frame ... 33x44mm = a bit more room to edit.

Maybe address the elephant in the room?
Egypt went from the 2d best country on the peninsula to 22nd (last) - in just 2 dark years of Morsi.

There was no "spring" for women. Au contraire:...

The Latest EM-1 (mk2 at least) firmware de-fishes the 8mm F1.8 Fisheye IN camera. Yes, you can *view* the de-fished image while shooting. No more guessing as you have to when post-processing. . NOW ...

Hobby: "a favorite pursuit, object, or topic" early 1800s A shortening of hobbyhorse the connecting notion being "activity that doesn't go anywhere." You spend what you want if it pleases you - ...

MFT is the size id 35mm Professional SLRS in the 70's before they became bloated but with many more facilities and vastly higher quality. Full Marketing frame has morphed into something massive by ...

Such extreme "DOF-lessness" a gimmicky, unpleasant effect. A portrait with zero context. Little point beyond - "Mum, look at what I can do". Just get some vaseline on the edges of a cheap filter ...

Bear in mind that "proper" 70's 35mm SLRs and most lenses were about EM-1 and MFT sized and certainly not Full Marketing Frame sized. The top FMF models are closer to my Mamiya RB-67. Escaping such ...

Hehe.  Still one of those with an OTUS 50/1,4 and the very heavy tripod needed to actually get that extreme detail shots would be fun - for about 1% of the time. An EM-1 (i or ii) and a couple of ...

iRipOff - - so many buy into it ... hehe
