Perhaps it would, but I do very little PP. Just the little that I can do using Apple's photo app. Anyway, I am quite satisfied with Panasonic's 2x DTC, just don't use the 4x version. Regards, Dave

I had the same experience as you, except with the PL 50-200mm lens. I wanted to see how good the DTC was on my G9, so I set up test shots, first with no DTC, then with 2x DTC and then with 4x DTC. ...

Another good reason not to shop at Best Buy. Regards, Dave

Yours was a newer model than mine if it had a match needle light meter built in. I think that my model was something like VXiia, although I am sure that is not exactly right. Anyway, there was no ...

Yup, I think that I bought mine around 1963. I was a VERY POOR high school freshman or sophomore at the time. It was new, but I doubt that I paid more than around $150. Can't remember the exact ...

Wow, an Exakta cost $374. I had one just like that, except slightly newer. I bought mine in the early 1960's (I am in my 70's now). First SLR that I ever owned. I still have fond memories of that ...

The new battery is quite expensive @ $87 (USD) on Amazon. I will probably stick with theo ones I have now. Regards, Dave

I never noticed this before, but mine does something similar. However, it has never been a problem, obviously, because I did not notice it. It is not something that I will worry about. Like I said ...

Yup, mine has lens creep also. This is my favorite lens and I love it, but the lens creep is a bit annoying at times. I know that there have been other comments on this forum in the past about ...

Good point. Regards, Dave

OK, I don't have a FZ1000, but all of my other Panasonic cameras have the ability to change the brightness of the EVF. Go to the symbol in the menu that looks like a wrench (spanner). Depending on ...

Is it possible that the brightness was turned down via the menu? Go to settings > monitor display. When you look through the EVF it should change to viewfinder display. While still looking through ...

Thanks for the info. Good to know. I remember reading about some problems with Panasonic repair facilities a few years ago, but I think that was a Texas repair center. Regarfs, Dave

The PL 50-200 is glued to my G9 most of the time. I love that lens. I had the 1.4 TC and thought that it did a very good job, but I sold it. I had done quite a few test shots using a test chart ...

I fully agree with saudidave. I had a Sony RX100 mk6 and the IQ was truly horrible from WA to telephoto. I sent it back and bought a TZ200 and the difference was night and day. My copy of the ...

If by "teleconverter" you are referring to the TC14 or TC20, they will not work with the 100-300. You can use the 1.4x or 2.0x exTele which is simply a crop, but they reduce the megapixals. You ...

I bought an FZ1000 ii some time ago and had the same problem. It emitted a constant loud noise. It bothered me so much that I returned the camera. I have never had that problem with any other camera. ...

Agreed. I was really surprised at how sharp the test chart photos were using 2x digital zoom with my PL 50-200, so I thought for fun I would try the same setup using 4x. I didn't expect those ...

I have experimented using both 2x and 4x with my PL50-200 mounted on my G9 and using test charts. The ptotos using 2x turned out to be quite sharp, but the 4x photos were definitely not sharp at ...

I bought the 12-200 earlier this year for a trip that I was planning. I did a qiuck test when it arrived and it seemed OK, but the trip was cancelled so I didn't do a good test. Big mistake. I ...
