Re: 300mm f4 no longer available
Just had a quick look at Wex. They are listing the 300/4 at £1,649, but "awaiting stock", as are quite a few of the posh Oly lenses. As far as I can see there is no sign of the 45/1.2.

Re: 300mm f4 no longer available
Wex were doing all sorts of odd things with prices last week. I decided to get an FL-700WR through the local LCE, their offer price was £269. I mentioned in passing that Wex had it at £229 and to my...

Re: 300mm f4 no longer available
How strange. Oly's own website still lists it, with a price. LCE list it as in stock, with a rather more attractive price.

Gorgeous - but my goodness, cold! Love the broad sweep of the valley turned almost monochrome by the frost.

Some drool-worthy kit there, OM!
There was a doc on TV a while back about a "society photographer" from Scotland who used to pap people in Knightsbridge. Dougie somebody, I think. It looked as...

Re: Old om2 user
Yes it does, as do the fancy T-series macro flashes etc. No TTL exposure control though, I think - but the flash's own Auto mode should still work OK.

Re: Lens roadmap due
The main cause of my bafflement is that we already have the 12-40 f/2.8, which is a lovely lens. Going to 45 rather than 40 doesn't look like much of a bonus, certainly not enough to justify...

Re: Lens roadmap due
I wonder what the point is of the 12-45 f/4. I suppose it must be really small to make it worth doing, unless it has some extra kind of fairy dust.

Re: New Flash system
Has anybody tried using the new system? I have been thinking about getting a newer flash, mainly prompted by the occasional desire to shoot in the rain. The FL-50s and friends terrify me if there is...

Interesting Dave, is it a composite or a single shot of something weird?

I think they do - they can run around and have the occasional cuddle to keep warm. It was horrible - blowing a gale, freezing cold, and the rain was lashing across rather than down. It was so dark I...

Re: It’s all Greek to me!
Cursive is just crazy! Trying to learn all that plus a grammar and vocab that are significantly different from any other language I know is quite a challenge for an ageing brain.

Re: It’s all Greek to me!
Russian did import a few letters from Greek to augment the earlier Cyrillic alphabet. I'm not sure exactly which ones, but the modern Russian F, G and P certainly look similar to their Greek...
