One thing to try is to go into the "Picture Mode" in the menu and set up a "Custom" setting with Natural color and -2 for contrast ,sharpness ,saturation and  normal for gradation. This is the "no ...

Good points and I like the condition of "no major shifts in the technology...."   :-D

Ben, I think we have to watch two areas of development: FF lens patents and organic sensor development. If Oly knows something we don't, what we are seeing might be a "get ready" tactic. If sensor ...

Thanks for the good explanation of why you don't use eye-level finders. I have been curious. I do use eye-level finders but, I have a big chunk of experience with 6X6 SLR Bronicas with the usual ...

With the M5II I managed to get the rattle by changing a setting for the display. I think it was auto-gain up, but not sure now. I changed the setting back and forgot it  :-) Nice lens with almost ...

I have an M5II + MMF-3 and use my 5 FT lenses. The question of focus speed has to be framed by your needs/style. If you tend to be a deliberate photographer the FT and manual legacy lenses will ...

Rich, I think Sergey started this sub-line as a "Perfect Present for...."       Now, there are some of us that do end up paying for our presents received......I'm thinking of the guitar that I got ...

We come from the era where cameras didn't have built in coupled meters and SLR lenses didn't have auto diaphragms......pre-sets prevailed....:-) I remember the Pen F and FT and how the half frame ...

OM-1,2 & 4 35RC E-1,3 & 5 OMD-eM5II All purchased new. I no longer hav the OM-4>stolen and 35RC>first wife.

The similarity to slide film is there, Rick. I think we are always faced with the the scope of expression of our mediums. To make our expressions show up within the scope of the medium is part of ...

I always thought it was the photographer who blew the highlights.

And that is why the black ones taste better......;-}

IMO the black ones taste better.....:-)

The free IR cut filters cured the magenta blacks for me. The green part of the spectrum is rather strange, if you are talking JPEGs. For best JPEG colors might go with the E-1.......:-D

Good one Greg. I still remember some fun exchanges that I had with Bill. Thanks for the reminder......

I remember reading Leica's factory method was to dab a bit of petroleum jelly on and the wipe it all off with a clean cloth. I have used this and it is a good solution for lube & clean needs.

One thing that might be worth playing with is cropping so that the diagonal lines actually exit at the corners of the frame. A simple thing that can alter the dynamics and flow.

After taking a closer look at the new growth it is probably a Live Oak. Not necessarily a native type, but possibley a hybrid. I have a hybrid Live Oak next to my house and the new growth pattern ...

Slower shutter speed, Jim.........no motion.....no money....:-)
