Extension Tubes of good quality (such the Kenko mentioned in one of the other posts) work very well. I don't know what you mean for normal use: these things are not made for normal use, their use ...

So we should really have a name for this: "Mansurov's Cat"   :-D

I only have experience with the MB adapter (one of them) and some EF mount lenses (Olympus EM1 mkII). I was quite pleased with the result. But I started the combination because I actually have the ...

Great pictures, thank you. Very interesting, they made me look again!

Yes, you are right. I have this lens essentially at home, as a portable kit it is a bit cumbersome. The extremely thin DoF means that stacking is almost mandatory, and active insects are almost ...

I used a Metabones adapter. It supports AF, but is entirely MF. In fact, I could call it "fixed focus", as the lens has a focus for each magnification, and one has to move the sample - or the lens ...

I don't know how can an image, which is a collection of pixels, be somehow "reversed" to show the original colours, be those good or bad. AFAIK (correct me if I am wrong) when we upload an image ...

Jim, I have used that lens a lot. I had it from my Canon days, and it is great with MFT, though quite difficult to operate (not the lens itself, but the magnification). Very good focussing rails ...

Looking at your image and the OP one, it looks like BIS is the description label for that error. And indeed, BIS could be " B ody I mage S tabilization" Mind you, I am a total ignorant on camera ...

Actually, you are referring to contrails . Don't ask me why they are called that, English is not even my native language...   :-D

What do you call exactly "focus stacking"? Olympus calls "focus bracketing" a set of photos with the focus distance slightly changed from each frame to the next. And they call "focus stacking" the ...

Interesting, I have read (in these forums) several users complaining about the AF speed, while others vouched for it! But it is the first time that I see somebody complaining about accuracy of the ...

For distant subjects, 100-400 mm. For a more general use, 35-100 2.8. This last one goes coupled to the MZD 12-400 for general use.

I would not say that it is a reproduction as good as the original, of cours, nor I am sure it was not the intention, but it is extremely well done. Bookmarked.

Yes, it is rude, and I regret having used the expression. But it seemed to be, in meaning, if not form, appropriate to tell somebody to look that data in te manual. I mean, if the OP has not found ...

I am too old, and I do lots of silly things!  :-(

Have you tried to RTFM? They are different! The top one takes a more expensive and faster SD card.

That is really cool! Beautiful images. It is a case where the OoF part is as important as the focussed part!

I also have both cameras - EM1-II and GX-8. They are both great cameras. However I disagree with the OP on most grounds, especially high ISO noise, shadow recovery (ie. SN in the shadows) and ...
