Chris Sawtell Asks if Leica 42.5 Sharper with IBIS or OIS
Chris, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I’ve not shot the 42.5mm Leica on the Olympus body at this time. Therefore, I’m unable to make a comment on which camera would give you better images. There’s no doubt that the Dual IS is a tremendous advantage but it’s also true… Read More »
Mark Kaprielian Asks, Do I Use Third Party Batteries?
Hello Mark, Sorry for the delay in answering this question. In short, I don’t use third party batteries of any kind. I’m a firm believer in getting what you pay for and though I too wish the Lumix batteries were cheaper, I don’t feel the possibility of having dead batteries… Read More »
Richard Barbour Asks Why Turn Off Shutter AF When Using Back Button AF?
Richard, the reason I set “Shutter AF” to OFF is due to the fact that, yes, the back button will also initiate AF but having both Shuter Button focusing AND the Back Button Focusing, they negate each other. The reason we use Back Button AF is to separate focus activation from the… Read More »

Kathy Cavallararo Wants to Know About Moving From Nikon D700 to MFT
Kathy, For the most part, there are few limitations to the Lumix Micro Four Thirds system I shoot compared to my old but trusty Nikon D700. The D700 was one of the first really great Nikons for low light capture. I have’t done any side by side comparisons, but I… Read More »
Bill Sprague looking for case for Leica 100-400mm and Lumix body
Bill, I’m unaware of a specific holder you refer to. I do know that Lowepro is building some MFT cases and bags but I see nothing listed specifically for MFT in the holster design you’re interested in. However, the photo I’ve included here show’s a Nikon body with the 80-200mm lens as… Read More »
Can Lumix Shoot Sports and Wildlife?
