GX8 & OM-D EM-1 Image Stabilization Question from Ray Hirsch
GX8 & OM-D EM-1 Image Stabilization Ray, I don’t think trying a second copy of the GX8 is going to improve your in-body image stabilization concerns. I’m finding similar results with the 40-150mm on the GX8. Not stellar in-body IS with this lens but better than none at all for sure.… Read More »
William Audain Asks About Battery Life for Olympus and Lumix Cameras
Great to hear from you William. Your issues regarding battery life with both your Olympus cameras is not surprising.

Question from Steve Chang Can Leica R Series Lenses be Used on Lumix GH4?
Good news Steve, Yes, al the Lumix MFT cameras accept Leica R series lenses via the Leica to Lumix MFT lens adapter.

Long Lenses for Lumix Question from Mark Kaprielian
Mark, Unfortunately I can’t make a great recommendation on Panasonic long lenses at this point. I have both the 100-300mm and the 45-200.

Which Rain Covers for Keeping Your Gear Dry?
Which rain covers for keeping your gear dry? Doug, sorry I missed this until now. I have to say I’m a minimalist when it comes to rain gear for my cameras. My favorite is without a doubt the cheap, yet very worthy, Op/Tech glorified plastic bag. These things are incredibly inexpensive so I… Read More »
Nikon 80-400 Dust Problems? Was Never an Issue For Me
No I have never had an issue with the new 80-400mm having dust problems. I do use Outdoor Research dry bags to place my cameras and large lenses into when in the field if the dust conditions are severe. These work great for riding in open vehicles etc. Hope this helps.… Read More »
Yongnuo YN560-III Speedlite Question
John, there is nothing you should have to do to make any flash fire from the GH3 hotshot. I’ve never used a Yongnuo flash, but there should be nothing special you have to do to make it fire. If it’s not firing, it may be due to the Program Mode… Read More »

Dear Tim and Kooksie, Great to hear from you. Sounds like you’ve been having some wonderful adventures and using your gear. That’s always nice to hear. Ok, so speaking of gear. I’m still a big fan of the Lumix system, actually even more than I was when we met. The… Read More »
