Second Body Recommendation
Q&A With Daniel J. Cox

Second Body Recommendation

Luis, I guess it all depends on what you typically shoot with your OM System cameras. If general travel is your thing then the OM-5 may be all you need. But for me, I’m interested in the most current AF capabilities of the OM-1 Mark ll and I’m also enthralled… Read More »

Olympus 150-400mm with 2X teleconverter
Q&A With Daniel J. Cox

Olympus 1.4X and 2X Teleconverters with 150-400mm

Hello Trent, I’ve used both the 1.4X and the 2X teleconverters with the Olympus 150-400mm lens. And quite honestly, I was not happy with the results. That was especially true for the 2X version. I’m very, very happy with the built-in 1.2X TC, and if I need more reach, I… Read More »

Reducing Highlights With DXO PhotoLab

Hi Eric, Was the image you saw these issues in, when comparing results in both LR and DXO, the same file? Also, was that image a RAW file or a JPEG? I’ve noticed the issue of a “dinghy grey tone” when trying to recover highlights from a RAW file that… Read More »

Question from Pavel Knopp

Hello Pavel, for general photography the Lumix G 90 is an excellent camera. I agree with you that it’s very light and easy to carry and I love the fact it has a built-in flash. I’ve always been disappointed that Lumix removed the flash from their so-called professional-grade cameras.… Read More »

Question from Kent Jakusz

Kent, unfortunately, I don’t shoot enough video to be able to offer any quality advice. I’m going to copy a friend of mine who is very knowledgeable about the Lumix system with his mainstay being video.

Question? Andreas Lindegger About Sony A9 AF
Q&A With Daniel J. Cox

Question? Andreas Lindegger About Sony A9 AF

The EM-1X has very good AF but I’ve never seen anything as good as the Sony A9. So it all just depends on how often you shoot Birds in flight and how important that is to you. At this point, I’ve not purchased the Sony system since I’m not excited… Read More »

Question from Paul Whitworth
Q&A With Daniel J. Cox

Question from Paul Whitworth

Paul, I’ve also had issues with WB on my Lumix cameras but since I shoot RAW I don’t find it overly concerning. That said, I personally like to get it right in the camera since I have no interest in sitting in front of a computer any longer than necessary. Are… Read More »

Question from Tim McCullough
Q&A With Daniel J. Cox

Question from Tim McCullough

Hi Tim, DThe Olympus 12-100mm is a wonderful lens but there are two issues in my mind. One is its very heavy. The other is the fact you do loose Dual IS when using it with a Lumix body. My answer has been the Leica 12-60mm and the Leica 50-200mm.… Read More »

Question from John Burnley
Q&A With Daniel J. Cox

Question from John Burnley

John, Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, the 100-400mm will not work with the new Lumix teleconverters. In general, putting more glass in front of a lens that already contains a lot of glass is not a great idea. It’s possible that a new 100-400mm may be developed at some… Read More »
