I always shoot 4:3 in m43. Why should I set the camera to anything else, makes no sense to me. The best few pictures that I shoot, I like to print them. That is when I modify the aspect ratio, ...

And it is exceptionally good value for money, when you buy it used. They go for half RRP for a mint sample. It may be from 2009, but it fits perfectly in the recent F/4 lens line. A perfect ...

Yes that used to be a very expensive leather case, and it is very nicely made. I bought one a few years ago for a very small fraction the price. I have to say it is still brand new and unused. I ...

The best example for this, are wildlife / trail cameras that you strap around a tree and take pictures when they detect a movement. They even take away your decision to fire the shutter :) . They ...

New Li batteries as used in cameras keep their charge easily for a couple years. It is normal that older batteries, especially those towards the end of their life, self discharge much faster. Self ...

That is exactly what I meant to say, in just one short phrase :)

Because m43 is a small minority of the ILC market. It only accounts for about 5% of overall sales. Formats between FF and m43 are automatically justified by their market share, like in "so many ...

It's my macro camera too. The EM5.2 is very solidly built, rigid like a rock on a tripod, and very well weather sealed too. And can even do focus stacking. It has all what makes a good macro camera. ...

The EM5.2 only became focus stacking capable with a late firmware update. Which was a nice and unexpected free gift to all EM5.2 owners. But you can't expect OMDS to forever release further free ...

As meteors burn up in the mesosphere they leave behind smoky trails that act as seeds for water vapour to freeze into tiny ice crystals

So they are all champagne silver still today? It is quite confusing these Olympus silver variations. Here I found an older post on the silver color subject: ...

- The lens was first released 29. June 2011, in silver only, and made only in Japan - The special edition black kit was launched 28. September 2012, and only a limited number of 3,000 units was ...

I believe that particular filter is made to the same standards as the lens elements in the 300/4. It has to be, otherwise it would degrade the IQ at such long FL. It is quite possibly made by ...

I vote for a small meteor A meteor by night is a streak of light in the sky that appears when a meteoroid burns up upon entering Earth's atmosphere. In daytime, the streak of light looks like this: ...

You mean the same production line that made my 12/2? There are some 12/2.0 that are made in Japan, and many more that are made in China. That makes it at least two different production lines. I ...

It is a great lens, I love it. I do however think it is overpriced at it's normal RRP. That is a great price you found. But make sure you can return it, if it turns out to be de-centered. Should be ...

The known sample variation problem with this lens is de-centering. One side or one corner is considerably less sharp than the opposite one. It is a very obvious defect when you see it, there is ...

what makes me stay in m43 is the GM5 body and the many great lenses that fit onto it

The Celestron is an 80mm diameter duplet, meaning it has just 1 lens group with 2 elements . The rest is just a long empty metal tube. There is no iris aperture, there is no focus motor, there is ...

Is this the astronomical Celestron C80ED telescope, 600mm/f7.5, FPL53 doublet, that sold for US$430 in 2005? or is it the more recent and much more expensive Celestron Regal M2 20-60 x 80ED zoom ...
