Leica never was affordable, and they still make great cameras and lenses. The Pen F is a styling exercise for a less wealthy set of hipsters.

Part documentary, part Olympus commercial. Nicely done, but the commercial was always apparent.

Three issues. The noise reduction is adding to the mushy image quality.

A fisheye lens has no correction for curvilinear distortion. Rectilinear extreme wide angle lenses do. That's a function of optical design and it's obvious when you look at lines of perspective ...

Sony has a shorter flange distance than Nikon (18mm vs. 46.5mm). Add the difference to the comparable lens body and you get closer to parity.

...it's that they'd be forced to neglect it if they really got serious about developing a FF offering. Olympus doesn't have the resources to do a new product line well if they don't draw ...

Yeah, 600mm works so well from a moving platform.

Meh. I got the plugins when Google dropped the price and I never use them. One reason is that Adobe's frequent CC versions make it difficult to keep plugins installed and up to date. The CC...

When you pay a premium for a camera like this, you have to pretend that the lens is actually as good as it should be - given the Leica reputation and price.

Use that exposure compensation dial. Notice the ski tip has no double image? If it was shutter shock the entire image would have the blur/double image. It looks like your stabilization tracking ...

I see underexposure and motion blur of the skier. The trees look fine at full res on my 30" monitor. Where's a double image in the trees?

You have either a small monitor or poor eyesight. On my 30" monitor the image is soft without zooming to actual pixel view. The ground rules you set would make about any crappp image acceptable.

I see it and/or issues with dual stabilization fighting with it. It's not a frequent problem, but for a camera with supposed high end stabilization I get blurry shots that I shouldn't. I also get...

I own it and would emphasize a few negative points the review glosses over. The battery capacity is poor. For a camera of its ample size, I think the SD card should get its own slot rather than...

I have a GH3 and GX8. The body and controls on the GH3 and GH4 are essentially identical, and I also far prefer the handling of the GH body to the GX8. I still find myself frequently looking at an ...

Even cheaper from Eachshot or Bestlight on Amazaon at $105.99.

One thing it has is constant output. Speedlights don't do video lighting.

The brand died with the company, it now lives on in zombie marketing form.

Might be more convenient, but a long flat array of LEDs can't be matched by a single LED and a diffuser.

Native mount mirrorless looks like the only way we'll see decent live view operation. Live view has many professional use benefits - if it's well implemented. Folks who think pros limit themselves...
