Oly 17mm f1.8...'little gem'

Re: Oly 17mm f1.8...'little gem'

Personally, I think the 17/1.8 is a decent enough lens. My current copy (second) is ok wide open and pretty sharp by f4. OTOH, I remember comparing it to the Sony 35/2.8 and the Sony was notably...

Re: Playing around - first trip out with my OMD EM-5

Very nice. The EM5 is a great camera and more than capable of delivering excellent results - as your images show :)

I've never read a manual for a camera! Personally, I just make sure the battery is charged, grab a cuppa and start playing!

Re: New 12-200

I know it's an unfair comparison, but you can pick up the 12-100 from a number of grey importers for around £850. The 12-200 is £800 at present. If you were buying today you'd get the 12-100 for...

You can find used ones for less than £250 Dave. That's the best way to go.

Re: New 12-200

Nice street shots. But, I must say this is the third set of images I've seen from the 12-200 and in all of them I've thought the images looked dull/muddy. Maybe I'm being too critical? A good lens...

My latest foray into FF mirrorless - and why I'm sticking with m43

Re: My latest foray into FF mirrorless - and why I'm sticking with m43

I'll just add that the tripod-variant of hi-res is somewhat different since in that version the camera is using the IBIS to move the subject by pixel-level amounts between 8 separate shots. The...

OK, maybe a bit of explanation is needed...

When you stack multiple images of the same exposure, you blend them such that each...

Re: My latest foray into FF mirrorless - and why I'm sticking with m43

Indeed. That will do the trick. Noise will be reduced quite significantly - but I realise I made a mistake on the original post. The ISO will be lowered by 1/2 for each image stacked - so by...

Re: Sad, if true

It wouldn't surprise me if there's no Pen-F II. Personally, I'd rather see an EPL-10 with a small EVF and cheaper than the F. That would make more sense in terms of providing something different to...

Some people just aren't trustworthy and it's best avoiding them. Maybe you'll miss the occasional good deal, but frankly the pain of dealing with ar$eholes makes paying a little more worth it.
