I agree on the promise of the EVF, but until it looks as good as the OVF I won't be satisfied. I wear eyeglasses to shoot. Sometimes I shoot in the bright outdoors, EVF's are terrible in that scenario, worse yet if I am wearing my polarized lenses and the EVF is polarized so I can only view it...

Ray, Now that Pentax has a full frame, I'm seriously considering it an the FA31 lens. I've shot the FA31 on their crop cameras and it had beautiful bokeh. With the crop mode I'd have a 31mm and a 46mm. That lens and the FA77 and I would have all the primes I need. Physically they are...

From the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska Pretty Bird par RyanShoots, on ipernity

I'm interested in fixed lens cameras like this, the RX line, the X-Vario, the G1X and so on because I already have a "system with lenses" and for my second format "sensor size" I don't want to start building up a stable of lenses. I much prefer the idea of one and done. That way if I tire of...

I'm late to the game, but this is a very nice shot. I remember this and others from the series. Congratulations.

I think I would like that. Fuji understands ergonomics better than Sony.

If they could give a small sensor realistic looking medium or large format DOF I would like that. I really like the falloff of focus on say a medium format or larger camera. I agree that it would be overdone by some as HDR is today. As I'm not a fan of "harsh" bokeh, I would welcome it if it...

Can't help you out with a view finder, but here is a video that shows what you're trying to do. Best part is you won't even have any setup to do because you are at 28mm which is where the G12 starts

Does that shoot 8x10 film?

I did an analysis of my shots since I became interested in photography. The bulk, 90+ percent, were taken from a 35mm equivalent of 28 - 85 and though I had fast glass, most were no less than 5.6 aperture. I realized that a Leica X-Vario would be a good camera in some ways for me. I'm...

Jock, that's an excellent resource. I've used it myself. Here is a nice collection of photos with the FZ200 Ladakh - 2013 Leh E to Korzok You may recognize a couple of these as Graham references them in the manual. This guy has some nice landscapes Randall Myhre

Here is one from a few years back. I no longer have the GRD. Kicking myself. This is what November in Minnesota's farm country looks like.

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing. I never really considered the Q, but it seems like it's something special.

I think the Nikon 1 series peaked with the V1.

I have one of the books of her photos. There is some really good stuff and some ok stuff. (I think the ok is better than my good by a long ways) What I do enjoy the most is just the fact that the photos are from another time. I don't want to see one more street photo of someone occupied...

Count me in. JPG mono. The only color I will shoot will be my daughter's basketball games. That would be a tough sell in b&w. All the personal stuff I shoot will be B&W jpg. I might tweak contrast and such, but I'm going to try to do as much as I can in camera. Work and school are...

" the K-3 landed in an open Crumpler messenger bag, the only time that particular bag ever held a camera. " Now that is hilarious!

I've got my Domke F-5XB. i refuse to carry a bigger bag. My camera gear must fit in this bag. Thankfully, I didn't get bit by the bag bug. I found a good one, bought it and am done until it wears out. My preference is canvas or leather. I've never been attracted to the nylon or other...

Some random thoughts: A sentiment I find amusing. Now that Amazon charges sales tax.... Can't believe Amazon pays almost no taxes... Amazon ultimately wants a bunch more shipping centers in the US so they can offer one day shipping easier. Once they do that, they will have to collect sales...

Ray, it was meant to be. The first camera I got a magazine cover with was a Leica point and shoot. So, guess what point and shoots hold a special place in my heart? It doesn't matter that they are are rebranded Panasonic. Photography is an art after all. Pragmatism and logic sometimes take...

My prayers are with you, Sue. BBW, I kept falling asleep in my first MRI. I had gotten up at 4am to be at the appt at 7:30am. So with being tired and that rhythmic pounding noise it was hard to stay awake. The second one I had was 20 years later and they let me pick music to listen to.

Ray you mention live view. I like using that as well. One of the reasons I have the dslr I do (Canon 70d) is because of the flippy screen and what I would call usable Live view in a dslr. I'd like a full frame dslr but right now only the Sony a99 would give me a decent live view and flippy...

This sad tree has seen his potential limited by others.

Ray to save your sanity on the San Fran trip you may want to check into Nikon's View NX or Capture NX. I think they both let you do a dust off photo and then will magically remove dust from the photos in raw development. I wouldn't like to rely on this for a long term solution, but might be...

Ray, I'm wondering if it's all down to sensor size or a combination of sensor size and Nikon's cleaning system. I never saw any dust on my 5d3 that I had for over a year. I shot the 24-105, 28, 40, and 100 in that time and didn't see it. Olympus also has an excellent, some claim the best...

Mitch was featured in Lenswork which is a photography magazine put out by Brooks Jensen. It's one of my few subscriptions, but worth it in my opinion. I don't subscribe to the magazines full of gear ads with the odd story thrown in...

Very funny. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to offer myself up as a rescue home. I'll take in those cameras and lenses until they can find them a long term adoption family.

Yes, snow is a challenge to digital cameras. Lots of time I'll go b&w to get away from the white and blue snow. Obviously not an option for a sunset or sunrise photo where you want to show the color. Another observation, as far as the two Fz200 files the DXO one has a thicker look to it...

…and a sunset. I didn't take this because it's a stellar sunset, but rather I liked the cold and bleakness of the foreground against the gentle sky. I thought it showed nicely the here and the now and a promise of something better. Solitary Sunset par RyanShoots, on ipernity

This is a gallery at Pbase that I liked. Made with a Leica V-Lux 1. Alaska Village by Beverly Chmielarczyk

Yes, there is supporting evidence of that fact :) I think I'm still somewhat in the kid in the candy store stage with my photography. I enjoy it all to some extent. But I'm also entertaining the idea that the best usually do one type and master that. It's a destination I want to reach and...

I think the K-50 is a nice camera. Not sure what you are looking for lens wise.

I'm feeling close to a liquidation. I'm really leaning toward the one camera, one lens bit for an entire year to see where it takes me. Many of the photographers who's work I respect the most did most of their work with a single focal length and really learned to do it well. Sell it all and...

The copyright on mine was set to KRockwell and the colors were garishly bright :) Just kidding. I think you have a repacked camera. I've been seeing a few reports of that lately from Amazon. Different retailers are dealing with the serial returners in different ways I suspect. I think...

I recently (yesterday) upgraded. I'd say 5 works the same as 4. The one big thing for me I like is the Upright functionality in which in will correct perspective distortion in building shots. Not owning a view camera or tilt shift lens, I'm almost always needing to correct buildings. The new...

Thanks. I think what I like most about his is he knows when to stop with the post processing. It has a natural gentleness to it and non of the harsh over saturation contrast so common today with sunrise and sunset photos. (not that I've ever done that myself :) ) Here is one of my favorites...

One from my V-Lux 4 which is the rebranded FZ200. I picked it up inspired by the output I've seen here and other places. It's a type of camera I've never owned before, but I wanted something for a fun walk about camera. I've rarely shot beyond 100mm, so this is a real experience for me. I...

A lot of folks don't know Sears sold houses. I'm too young to have seen that first hand, but I did grow up about 60 miles away from North Redwood, MN where Richard Sears was born and got his start. Here's the story for those that may be interested. In 1886 Richard W. Sears was the depot agent...

WOW! I've only moved a handful of times in my life and was never very fond of the process. Though having moved that much I'm guessing you don't have time to accumulate as much stuff, or at least don't allow yourself to. Sounds like a wonderful house you're going to be moving into.

I have a self imposed rule, I can't take more than will fit in my bag which is a Domke F5XB. I had a 5D3 and 24-105 that I commonly took last summer. That combination was heavy enough for me that I didn't like it after a few hours. It was much more fun to take it out with my 28 and 40mm...

This is one of the things I like to photograph the most. I grew up in a rural farming community and still like to get back to rural areas and drive around endlessly on the back roads and stumble across gems like this. Within a year or so of getting the photo the buildings and trees are gone...

I can feel the night. Great shot.

Interesting. I'm rather a fan of fixed lens cameras. Hopefully the AF and handling is speeded up a bit over the original.

This video is a decent example of what you can get out of a small file and smaller sensor http://www.discovermirrorless.com/current-news/how-big-of-a-print-from-a-mirrorless-jpeg-portrait-file-44x44/ Another one. A bit cheesy in places, but it shows what is possible...

Actually he had the better lenses. Look again, he didn't take the m4/3 zooms, he took the 4/3 zooms. The two he took are better than the m4/3 zooms and they are not even the best of the 4/3 zooms. Olympus makes good glass for m4/3, but some of the 4/3 zooms are some of the best ever made and...

Chuck, I agree with you. The RX100 is better IQ wise, but the LX7 feels so much more like a camera to me. I still have an RX100 I'm ready to part with because of that. My main compact now is a Pentax Mx-1, but I could easily shoot an LX7 and be happy. How a camera feels and operates is a big...

A couple of mine. A lot of the pictures I enjoy seeing are not tack sharp or technically perfect. For me at least it's all about showing what I'm trying to show and sometimes that means a technically "flawed" image works best. Not real sharp a bit painterly. It came from a Blackberry...

500 is the number for which I feel a camera has "good" battery life. Less than that and it bugs me. I think I'm still traumatized from the Fuji x100 I had :) Of course even that wasn't quite as bad as the little DP's from Sigma. I have a thing about battery life in general on devices...
