If you want the 7-14, I highly recommend the filter adaptor from Phil Norton. Works well, and he's a good guy doing a lot of work with this lens and filters.

This is not the "rattlesnake" issue. This is the audible noise you hear when the aperture blades close for the picture. If you take the picture at f1.4 it is silent. Any other f-stop and it makes ...

I got a used 25mm 1.4 today. It is a rather noisy lens. It is silent at f1.4, but at any other aperture it is noisy.  I've never had a lens did that. If silence is required, get the f1.7.

Thanks. I was able to confirm this by taking pictures at f1.4 and it is silent. I've gotten so used to using a silent shutter I don't expect to hear any noise from my camera. I was at a conference ...

(Note - this is not the "rattlesnake noise" on autofocus. It is on shutter button press) I purchased this lens on eBay. The lens seems to work OK, but it is quite loud when I capture the image. I ...

Better than em1m2? Just curious, since the reviews are kind of split.

I want to try some Milky Way shots this spring/summer. I have the 7-14 f2.8. Is that OK for learning about it? Since I haven't done it before, does the two stops make a big difference? Thanks!

The camera body size is a wash - my em1m2 actually felt a little bigger than a A7iii that I rented last weekend. The size difference is in the lenses - you have many more small, light options in ...

I have only seen it on Olympus, and it is an amazing feature. I'm not sure why they don't make a bigger deal about it. It greatly simplifies long exposures.

Nothing original about these pictures, but it was a beautiful day for hiking the Marin Headlands. Fort Baker Rodeo Beach - Yes, way over processed, but the clouds rolled in and the light was ...

Last weekend I rented a Sony A7iii and the 24-105 lens from Lensrental (this setup cost me $150 with shipping). I took them both on a field trip to Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands and took ...

OK - it's starting to make sense to me now (I'm sort of dense). The picture I posted last week was underexposed, so I had bumped up the exposure quite a bit. That is probably why someone said I ...

Sorry for the confusion - this is the picture I posted last week that someone said I had a lot of noise for ISO 200: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62470750. That was the source my ...

Thanks for confirming - I never thought I had a problem until someone said I had a lot of noise in a picture I posted on this site. It was a long-ish exposure (1.3 sec), so that may have been the ...

It is definitely from the raw file-sharing bit the jpeg.

Here is the histogram from LR. I'm not sure why it should be an order of magnitude higher that what was captured (4000 instead of 400). This is an exposure I would consider OK, but I'm a newbie ...

I didn't adjust any exposure settings in post. I was trying to keep it as close to the captured image as possible. The only camera setting I used was Aperture priority, f4, ISO 200. The shutter ...

Thank you to everyone that replied. I know this is an unusual picture, but I wanted to capture something with a noisy sky, as the person told me last week I had too much noise in my sky, which I ...

Last week I posted a picture on this forum and someone said there was an unusual amount of noise for ISO 200. Since I only have one camera, I have nothing to compare it to. Here is a rather boring ...

Seems to like them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZUBFfDvVVk. He liked the 56mm better than the Olympus 75mm 1.8.
