    Just curious: your most fun DSLR to shoot?

    My favorite DSLR for output was the Canon 5D original. The output on that camera was just amazing. But it was frustrating to shoot with - had to manually set ISO was one of the biggest issues. No sensor shake, so the sensor constantly was in need of cleaning. I did enjoy the Canon 6D (original)...

    Ouch. From https://www.thephoblographer.com/2024/01/30/om-system-om1-mk-ii/ "When I looked on Behance, I didnā€™t see many photographers doing commercial work with these cameras either. How does a company that wants to be #1 continue to deny that other photographers exist and could find joy in...

    Micro 4/3 New rumors

    Over on the rumor site there are two sets of OM1.2 first look videos posts. The theme for this release is clearly outdoors, but I don't see any major reviewers. There are 17 videos, and of those videos: 3 are OM (2 in English, 1 in German), 10 are vendor videos (Park Camera, B&H, etc.) who...

    Feeling whelmed is the term. Neither over nor under. Just ā€œoh, so thatā€™s what happened.ā€ For those who are not feeling this release - the camera body and lens were rumored to be required releases for branding purposes (i.e. OM can no longer make product with the Olympus name). It seems both the...

    Micro 4/3 New rumors

    It's also said "improved AF" -- which could be hardware/faster chips which might not translate into FW. We shall see. A renewed 9-18 in the works, too. I'm assuming a body refresh + hopefully the cable fix. Maybe a touch WR, but I'm guessing not much else.

    Bill - your shots have so much detail. Do you crop much/alot? I think the a1 has a ton of MPs. Do you think that helps drive the detail or is the lens just amazing? (I'm assuming you have the talent and technique down, so I'm just wondering if the lens or MP impacts what you do much)

    Iā€™ve got an em5.3 and a 40-150 f4 pro and an $1100 credit at MPB. Wondering if I should trade up from the 5.3 to an OM-1 and return the 40-150/4 (I have until Jan 30) and get instead either a 40-150/2.8+TCON or a 100-400

    Awesome prices for OM20/1.4 and OM 40-150/4 Pro. They are pricing the 40-150/4 at $509. I just paid $699 for mine on sale. I think this lens is very worth it in the $400-500 range, so very close (and tempted to return mine to Amazon and get this one, but that's a lot of trouble). Outlet Sale...

    Things I'm learning in trying out birding: 1) You need a lot of patience 2) nothing beats getting close (or a longer lens) 3) Pro-cap on m43 takes a lot of tweaking. Super useful to make up for reflex timing but will FILL both your card and your time to post process Put all my snowy...

    Heavy crop under a dark bush. Still like the final image, though not very much feather detail (which is weird because the leaves have detail)

    LR de-noise is ridiculous. Trying out my 40-150/4. I could really use more reach, but cropping against 20MP and LR DN and the image is pretty usable for web viewing.

    GAS Considering a new system. Maybe Sony.

    I just tried the 40/2.5 with the a7c. I liked everything about that combo - the aperture ring, the size, the price, the AF, the sensor output. But that len's bokeh is not one of my favorites. I rented these two and if I had decided to continue with Sony, I would have looked at other options in...

    Thinking of giving birding a go. Likely need to up my camera from the EM5.3, but thinking a longer lens might be first order.

    Micro 4/3 Thinking of switching 40-150 F2.8 to 40-150 F4

    Interesting thread. I purchased the 40-150/4 to explore an upgrade to my Panasonic 45-150 kit. TBH, the IQ is not any better (color, sharpness) EXCEPT the f/4 of course is one stop faster at the long end - the backgrounds are better blurred out and the ISO is lower. Is that worth $700 (vs. the...

    GAS Considering a new system. Maybe Sony.

    I just rented an a7c for two weeks, and completely agree. Focus and recompose with AF-C tracking is just silly easy. And the focus point is so sticky. Was comparing the a7c to the EM5.3 and it's not even close. I'm currently debating if I want to switch to Sony, but I'd like a nice long zoom...

    Has anyone kept this lens long term? If so - any thoughts? I have a Panasonic 45-150 kit lens. I find it's my most used lens.
