    Anyone have experience with the X-S10?

    I have seen positive reviews as well as the criticisms of having a PASM dial and not being weather-sealed. Operationally it looks like a very attractively-designed setup, and the price point is really good. It would be great to hear if someone on this board has experience with it.

    Sony A6500 and 18-135mm lens

    I have been a longtime micro four-thirds camera person, and also earlier a Pentax user. With travel looming this summer, I have been looking for a general purpose single lens in a lightweight kit. Right now, I have the Panasonic G85 with a couple of lenses. I have been looking at lenses for...

    See the bee

    I was taking photos of very intensely colored flowers using my original Olympus 45mm f/1.7 lens. The bees were active, and although it is certainly not a macro lens, with serious cropping there were some satisfactory shots. Mostly it was interesting to see how the Panasonic G85 and Olympus lens...

    KS-1 and DFA 50mm f/2.8 macro

    I actually was taking photos of flowers and seeds nearby and saw the butterfly incidentally. The camera was in monochrome mode -- I had forgotten the previous night's couple of shots. These are just the RAW files with modest sharpening.

    Fun with the K-70

    This morning along the Columbia Canal (Columbia SC) there was a turtle enjoying the warm weather. This is shot with a K-70 and the HD DA 55-300 PLM RE WR lens. The lens was fully extended to 300mm, at F6.3, 1/320 second, 400 ISO. It is heavily cropped, with a bit of sharpening, otherwise...

    Bullfrog in South Carolina and K-70

    Does someone have experience with the Olympus 12-40 on a Panasonic GX7 (or other Panasonic body)?

    Lens question: Panasonic 100-300 and Olympus 50-200

    Obviously, the Panasonic has longer reach, which is useful. For a trip to Alaska, would that be more valuable or would the higher quality of the Olympus 50-200 be preferable? I know it depends on usage, but this would be for a variety of uses on such a tour. I guess one thing to ask is whether...

    Pentax K-5IIs body I bought this brand new on 8/30/2013 for $969.99. I have taken just 84 pictures with this camera, and it is in perfect condition. I plan to buy the K-3 instead. The camera was purchased new, fulfilled by Amazon, from Great Lakes Cameras. Great Lakes Cameras assured me...

    Fun with Panasonic G5

    I haven't seen a thread "Fun with Panasonic G5" -- and since the G6 is rumored to be around the corner -- it seemed polite to give the G5 its due. It bought one just this week, and it handles pretty well. My first outing (aside from flowers around the house) was yesterday. I went to a high...

    K-30 anyone?

    I haven't seen any comments about the K-30 in this Pentax forum. Would anyone who owns one care to share their impressions and experiences?

    FS: Olympus OM-D EM-5 $875

    Olympus OM-D EM-5 Silver - body only $875 This is a spectacular camera, and takes wonderful photos, but I simply have not bonded with it. I bought the silver kit with the 12-50mm lens and sold the lens on another board (with positive feedback). The shutter count is about 20 over the 583 shown...

    FS: Olympus 12-50mm/f3.5-6.3

    I bought the OM-D plus 12-50mm kit recently and find that I am not much interested in this lens. I really don't need the weather resistance and rarely use macro. I put a UV filter on it right away and it is in new condition. Selling for $310 including FedEx ground shipping in the continental...

    FS: Olympus Zuiko Digital 40-150/f4-5.6 lens

    The lens is in like-new condition, having been used not more than a handful of times. Shortly after buying it, the m.Zuiko version came out, and I bought that on sale. This lens is at least as good if not a little better than the m.Zuiko version. It is native to the FT camera and works fine on...
