Nearly in Focus

Retracted or not, there is absolutely no comparison. I personally used both kits one after another for more than a month first Olympus 300 with EM1X then D500 with 500mm PF. I got tricked into ...

So true. I got tricked by more or less similar weight of D500 with 500mm PF and sold all my Olympus gear to buy the Nikon kit. Within less than a month I ended up selling Nikon and still under the ...

If I am looking for casual, carry everywhere and street photography etc Pen F any day. As you said BW mode is really good. Otherwise I would go with EM1.2 that had best price/performance ratio in ...

I think this sensor talk and ISO performance are just excuses. Now I know, they are relatively perform inferior compared to latest APSC or FF sensor. But look at the images of these two ...

All said and one  in today’s world if I have a m43 camera I would rather spend on Olympus 300/f4 or Panasonic 200/2.8. But I understand where you are coming from, I too started digital Olympus ...

My first serious attempt at bird photography...long way to go, lot to learn. Appreciate C&C Taken with R6 and 100-500RF I had tried few days back.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful. Will definitely use these as starting as I receive the gear later this week.

Before you get into buying lenses etc I suggest you watch some videos on using Olympus BIF, camera settings etc Tim Boyers videos have been very helpful for me as he used Olympus gear. Here is the ...

Yes indeed I ordered EM 1 MK III. I did try EM1X when it came out but could not digest price/performance ratio so had moved to Nikon..but forgot to change gear list here (now updated)

Actually we don’t need to wait for Sony, Canon dual pixel AF on R6/5 is almost as good. Considering how impressive it is in version 1,  I am positive it may match or surpass Sony’s within next ...

But that’s not a fair comparisons D500 costing $1499 or even $1999 launch price vs A9 II costing $4498.

Sorry didn’t see the comment earlier. It’s Sandhills Crane...I am in FL after all 😊

Agree D500 in in different class altogether and don’t think there is anything in the market that can beat it specially for current price of $1499. But it eats too much volume/size. In fact that’s ...

That’s Great, exact thing I am thinking of buying...now only if I can get such beautiful pictures 😊

These are very good May I ask which Lens(es) are you using?

He already has a blog on lens rental site and indeed followed by many. I think this could help Rogers to get Lensrental name to DPR audience kind of soft advertisement (not that he needs it) in...

I keep hearing about M43 not being as good as Sony or newer Canons. For those who used Olympus as well as recent cameras from Nikon/Sony/Canon would you mind sharing your practical experiences ...

Just got D500 (again) with 300mm/f4

Thank you, I missed that thread.

I came across rumors about canon releasing f11 long tele lenses for R mount (600 and 800) and wondering if you have f11 on FF won’t MFT with F4, f5.6 be as good or probably better than FF? Meaning ...
