    Magnified MF on the NEX-5

    I'm thinking about getting an NEX-5 but, since the Sony E-mount lenses are of no interest to me and there are not yet any Zeiss E-mount lenses, I'd sell the kit lens and use MF lenses until an appealing Zeiss lens is released. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how easy it is to use...

    Four new Micro 4/3rds manufacturers

    Has someone posted about this already? I couldn't find any mention of it on the forum. So, how did we manage to miss this? Since the announcement was apparently made on April 1st, it's probably because we were distracted by Jeff "aka Liar and Scumbag" Ascough's digital RF hoax. Anyway, on the...

    New Novoflex adapters for Samsung NX

    In the thread on new lenses for the Samsung NX, I wrote: Well, I'm supposed to receive an email from B&H as soon [the Samsung NX is] in stock but now I think I'll wait until there are adapters for Pen F, Rokkor MC/MD, and Hexanon AR lenses available. Now, according to DPreview, Novoflex has...

    G1 with 20/1.7: "SWITCH TO AFS"

    I've noticed that if I have my new 20/1.7 pancake mounted on the G1 and switch from AFS to AFC, a message appears briefly in the viewfinder saying: "SWITCH TO AFS" and, even though the camera is in AFC mode, it operates as if AFS was set. This behavior does not occur when the 14-45 kit zoom is...

    28mm: the red-headed stepchild of wide-angle lenses?

    In the Nikon D3s - now out thread, Graham Welland wrote: I hope Graham won't mind my using his post as an example of the most common request for new wide angle prime lenses from Nikon. It's just that in asking for those particular lenses he illustrates an issue that has puzzled me for quite a...

    Tripod for G1 and long lens

    In the thread on the Leica Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 lens, I noted that the lens dwarfed the GF1 and suggested that "if one is going to be working on a tripod anyway, an APS-C or full-frame DSLR will deliver superior results at the cost of not a lot more bulk." nostatic agreed: To which, Vivek...

    Closer focusing for M-mount lenses on m4/3rds

    I recently purchased a secondhand Panasonic G1 and am completely delighted with both the results it yields and the fact that I no longer have to lug around a Nikon DSLR. I knew when I bought the G1 that I wouldn't find the 14-45 kit zoom particularly appealing, so I've picked up a couple of...

    Voigtlander SL 125mm F2.5 APO Lanthar

    This may be of interest to the Sony users who are dissatisfied with the Sony 100/2.8 Macro and/or are longing for the Zeiss Makro-Planar 100 in a Sony mount. I just noticed that there is a Voigtlander SL 125mm F2.5 APO Lanthar in Sony/Minolta mount for sale on eBay. This lens has a superb...

    Comprehensive, user-oriented GH1 Review

    UK filmmaker Philip Bloom has written an excellent hands-on review of the Panasonic GH1 and 14-140 lens, including frame grabs and sample footage. Short version? Loves the camera, likes the zoom, wants some fast primes. I was hanging out for a micro 4/3rds camera from Olympus plus the...

    Instant JPEG From RAW (IJFR)

    This is really neat! Michael Tapes (WhiBal) and Imagenomic (Noiseware) have created a utility (for both Macintosh and Windows) that extracts the embedded JPEG -- either from individual RAW files or from all the RAW files in a directory. Michael Tapes explains the utility here: IJFR supports...

    Sharpening and Noise Reduction Tools

    On the basis of favorable reviews at Luminous Landscape and elsewhere, I was about to purchase Photokit Sharpener and Noise Ninja. Then it occurred to me that it might be worth spending a little more money on Nik Software's Sharpener Pro and Dfine. Naturally I can download and install the trial...
