Lightly-cropped, and very lightly-processed...another reason why this smallish (for a telephoto-zoom) lens delivers. this male wood duck is enjoying a moment of contemplative avian solitude in the ...

No, it's not a faster and heavier 'Pro-quality' lens. But all things considered, it keeps surprising me (pleasantly!) with its quality. Case in point: this random shot of a visiting Blue Jay this ...

A random shot from my morning walk on a nature trail alongside a local creek. Very lightly cropped. Quack! I have to say, this modest lightweight lens...is turning into one of my more versatile ...

Good question. For some time, my favorite was also the first Pentax DSLR I bought - the K200d. A superb tool, with an outrageously great CCD sensor. I eventually sold it but missed it so much I ...

Before getting this lens, I didn't do that much 'telephoto shooting'. Now, to my surprise, I find myself carrying it along on some outings (possibly because of its light weight), and that allows ...

Fantastic shot, Brian.  And a testimony to the quality of the X30's relatively small sensor + lens.

Taken at the fish market of my local (southern Oregon) supermarket - using the l.monochrome.d setting of my GX9 camera. needless to say, this image would look completely different taken in color

Has anyone mentioned the X30's versatility as a nearly-pocketable smallish travel camera? It has become one of my favorite take-anywhere go-anywhere small cameras. This photo was taken on a ...

I voted for the 16mm since it is a lens I am fascinated by - and a thousand years ago, when I was shooting nothing but Tri-X on my old Pentaxes, one of my favorite wide-angle lenses was the ...

Got the Panasonic factory grip.  Here is what it looks like, mounted-- This is what the Panasonic grip looks like, mounted Biggest benefit: it is incredibly comfortable, and somehow makes the ...

I have zero experience with the Panasonic 100-300, but many more experienced photographers than I seem to be unanimous on the superiority of the improved newer iteration (v.ii) of that lens, for ...

The tiny 9mm is one of my favorite lenses, also. I find it useful for detailed close-ups of machinery-- it's all about the headlight As well as for impromptu portraits of visiting friends-- Bottom ...

The lens is relatively small and light enough to take it on random walks or hikes and not feel that it's either weighing you down, or unbalancing you. That way, when the occasion arises, it's ...

A great comparison. Perhaps I should be surprised at how well the 9mm body cap looks, but since I own one myself, I'm not: it's a surprisingly fine lens, under the right conditions or circumstances. ...

Thanks for the review and for the photos you posted with it. My particular favourite is 'Stockholm by Sunset' - fantastic colors and contrast, and a very compelling image. I have been interested ...

One more example of why I keep using this small Olympus telephoto-zoom. It's light enough to take everywhere, and while it can't equal the quality of optically superior (and vastly heavier) ...

A minor addendum, Guy -- another interesting question, whether one is primarily an Olympus user, a Panasonic user, or both (like myself), might be: If you use Micro Four Thirds cameras, do you use ...

Interesting thread, Guy. However, I wish you had included another choice: "I have both brands, and use both brands equally, depending on circumstances, subject matter, and my own whims." I ...

I have a virtually unused copy of Alexander S. White's excellent and detailed guide to the RX10M3 - "Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC RX10 III" - which I no longer need as I sold the camera. ...

I have a coy of Alexander S. White's excellent and detailed book covering almost every aspect of the Sony RX10Miii RX10M3 - his "Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC RX10 III" - which I bought a ...
