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 »
The Telephoto Power of Micro Four Thirds
Full-frame camera hype There’s been a lot of press in the past four months about the excitement of full-frame cameras. Panasonic jumped in with a new fabulous full-frame system, the Lumix S1, and Lumix S1R. Nikon and Canon finally awoke from the dead and offered their versions as well. It’s… Read More »
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 »
Question from Louis Berk
Louis, sorry for the extremely late reply. This part of the Blog is tough to keep up with. Regarding a “realistic keeper rate”? That’s a difficult question to answer. But in general, if I have a four-day shoot and collect 4000 images, I would be surprised if I find more than… Read More »
Question from Chris F.
So sorry for the late reply Chirs. I could not agree with you more. The Dual IS in the most current Lumix cameras has changed the way I shoot. Mainly without tripod where in the past I used a tripod for almost everything. That said, this technology is for static subjects.… Read More »

Question from John Blyth
So sorry for the seriously late response. This part of the Blog is difficult to keep up with. Please accept my apology. As far as comparing a GX8 to a G9, they are worlds apart. I’m a firm believer that to get the absolute most out of the MFT system you… Read More »
Question from Bob Hamilton
Bob, first let me apologize for taking so long to answer your question. I try to stay up with this part of the Blog but it’s difficult. I’m trying to do better. I’m wondering if you’ve found and reviewed the Panasonic Lumix AF Guide Book/PDF? This PDF was released around the… Read More »
Question from Jim Heywood
Jim, contrary to your experience I find the histogram to work just fine for night sky photography. I agree that if you review your images on the rear LCD of your camera, it may look fine but in reality, it’s always much darker when loaded on your computer. I’ve found… Read More »
Question from RICARDO SIMAN
Hello Ricardo, I’ve not tested the new Nikon Z7. I’ve seen it and played with it a bit but no serious photography with it. My desire to stay small remains my biggest priority and a full frame camera like the Nikon Z7, requires full frame lenses. That’s a deal breaker for… Read More »
