Usually when somebody posts one of these there is some obvious error in the way they've set things up, but in your case it looks like you did everything correctly from what I can tell.  I really ...

It's posts like this that remind me that even though I really like the m43 camera system I really can't stand the community associated with it.

Please don't do that.

My experience is also that the 40-150 + MC-14 is soft wide open, to the point that you're better off shooting with the the bare lens and upscaling.  It's only stopped down to f/5.6 that there is ...

I suspect that what people choose is influenced as much by their monitor calibration and web browser as it is by the camera.

Based on the previous thread from him I have trouble believing any of his tests due to his poor methodology.

Not with the MMF-1 or MMF-3.

The reason is that all the other lens are just physically incompatible with the TC.  To be compatible a lens needs both clearance for the protruding element of the TC as well as a specific mount ...

That's why I wrote "When you crop in photoshop per pixel image quality stays the same". What changes is the SNR of the entire image, not the individual pixels.

This happens all the time due Olympus' sketchy firmware update process.  You'll need to send the lens in to Olympus to get it repaired.

Maybe this could help.  It's a pretty reasonable comparison of the three flagship bodies, not perfect but I think it covers most bases.

It's more like Sony implemented many of the RX100V features on the A9.

I haven't had a chance to use the 12-100 but the most recent two Pro lenses I have, the 300 f/4.0 and the 25 f/1.2, have noticeably better build quality than the earlier lenses. Olympus seems to ...

Splashes would have a higher pressure than rinsing with water though, if the lens can't tolerate a gentle water rinse then it's very unlikely it can tolerate getting hit with a splash.

Same reason for avoiding any 3rd party equipment, they tend to be unreliable.  Often the third party batteries have much lower capacity than OEM versions and even charge to the wrong voltages.  I ...

Except that the the EN-EL18a batteries you need are $150 ($220 if you want the newer 18b version) and the associated battery charger is $458. All in comes out to $1008.

It actually comes out to around $1000 extra when you factor in the grip, the battery, and the battery charger that are all required.

When you crop in photoshop per pixel image quality stays the same but overall image quality does indeed...

"the DX crop mode at 20mp makes it a d500 with the FF hi ISO benefit"

That's not how it works, the D850 in crop mode (or on a per pixel basis, however you want to think about it) actually performs...

Pretty much everybody? Some people seem stuck in this outdated thinking where you only view an image at some fixed print size and anything else is just "pixel-peeping".  Zooming in to view all the ...
