Re: panasonic's new micro four/thirds camera: G1
First things I note (those are preliminary notes, I think it should be compared before defenitive decision, speaking for me of course): * it doesn't seem *that* small but it is very difficult to judge not having a e.g. E420 next to it. the quote at the end may stink IMO: Lenses that are not compatible with the contrast AF function can be used with manual focusing. There are some limitations to other functions when the lenses other than LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm/F3.5-F5.6 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. and LUMIX G VARIO 45-200mm/F4.0-F5.6/MEGA O.I.S. What would be the purpose of using 4/3 lens on a 4/3 camera if AF doesn't work (as for the intended market of the camera, I agree it heavily depends on the use of it). It seems to me however, that it is a nice attempt and that in a couple months this micro4/3 may indeed be a very interesting market segment. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...

RE: panasonic's new micro four/thirds camera: G1
it's an interesting idea, and if it leads to a high quality rangefinder camera (perhaps something like the Contax G cameras) I'd be interested. But I'm not at all sure that their stated market really wants electronic viewfinders. Speaking for myself, my eyesight has deteriorated to the point where I need reading glasses. I cannot focus on the screen at the back of a camera unless I wear my reading glasses, but I'm not prepared to wear them when I'm out and about shooting - it is just not practical. I suspect an electronic viewfinder would be unusable for me and for much of their target market. It is also rather silly of them to have a viewfinder with a different format to the sensor!

Re: The PDML Bike Curse Continues
Ouch, sounds like pretty bad luck to land the way she did. We have a token tourist tram here which runs in a loop within the central city. Those tracks cause quite a few cycle accidents (they have warning signs up in a couple of places). I was lucky to avoid surgery when I broke my collarbone. The ends had quite a bit of separation and the doc was concerned about how much the bone was poking the skin. There's still a pretty good lump there and it feels very weird (and still causes problems with my camera bag strap). I hope she heals quickly without any complications. - Dave On Sep 12, 2008, at 1:18 AM, frank theriault wrote: Not me, but I wish it was. Yesterday my eldest (she's 26) was riding home from school (she just started an intense ASL Interpreter course at a local college) when her back wheel got caught in a streetcar track. She went down, landed awkwardly on her leg and fractured her tibia (shin bone) just below her patella (knee). It will require surgery (plates and screws and all that) and she's just kind of hanging around (as an inpatient) waiting for an operating room. Othopaedic surgeries are done mid-afternoon to about 11pm, but due to the non-life-threatening nature of her injury, she's not too high on the list it seems; hopefully in a day or two. She's heard different stories as to the timeframe for convalescing, anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months. Luckily she's young and in pretty good shape, so her prognosis is good. It could have been worse to be sure, and she's taking it like a trooper, but she's not too comfortable right now. I feel responsible, being a PDML member.

PESO: roast corn
hi, had been to the beach today, which generally has a country fair-like atmosphere most days, more so on weekends. there are these stalls selling roast corns which use wood stoves to roast the corns and when the stove is fanned (sort of) it makes for a rather dramatic picture. http://picasaweb.google.com/pdml.live/PESO#5245158232714118018 K10D, DA 50-200 @150mm. as usual, appreciate your comments. regards, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

On 12/9/08, Bob W, discombobulated, unleashed: I cannot focus on the screen at the back of a camera unless I wear my reading glasses, but I'm not prepared to wear them when I'm out and about shooting - it is just not practical. I suspect an electronic viewfinder would be unusable for me and for much of their target Just as a point of information, the electronic viewfinder of my video camera has an optical lens arrangement in front of if to allow focussing of the eye onto the viewfinder. The focus for this is easy to change, and I move it depending on weather I'm wearing my glasses or not. Much as I hate these electronic viewfinders, and mine is extremely high resolution (and a cathode ray tube to boot!), it is pretty easy to see and use. Probably smaller still cameras will not have as good an arrangement - and again, it all depends on the quality of the screen.

Re: panasonic's new micro four/thirds camera: G1
They're still hobbled by the small sensor size. As technology improves and 24x36mm sensors become more prevalent, (and there's no upgrade path even possible), I think this will be relegated to a second class system, sort of where 4:3 is headed today. The same issue that always comes up when comparing formats, bigger is better, (higher image quality), if you can afford it. Mike Johnson had an interesting take on lens compactness. He always thought that amateurs liked telephotos for their extra reach, smaller formats make for smaller long lenses with the same reach, so that would be good. But it's not the effective focal length it's the physical size that matters. Most amateurs want big lenses because they look more impressive. My 400 captures the same image, (on my sensor), as your 800 on your's, but the 800 trumps. In other words size /still/ matters.

Re: panasonic's new micro four/thirds camera: G1
If I remember correctly Pentax sold the Spotmatic F SP1000 and ESII alongside the KM KX and K2 for at least a year maybe two so you still had a choice. In fact Pentax had only gone over to an Open aperture metering system a couple of years earlier so most users lost only auto diaphragm which which didn't mean much to me I was still using a Spotmatic (non F). I don't think a lot of current users of 4:3 system cameras will go over. Panasonic is banking on new users trading up from PS or ZLR's.

Yesterday my eldest (she's 26) was riding home from school (she just started an intense ASL Interpreter course at a local college) when her back wheel got caught in a streetcar track. She went down, landed awkwardly on her leg and fractured her tibia (shin bone) just below her patella (knee). It will require surgery (plates and screws and all that) and she's just kind of hanging around (as an inpatient) waiting for an operating room. Othopaedic surgeries are done mid-afternoon to about 11pm, but due to the non-life-threatening nature of her injury, she's not too high on the list it seems; hopefully in a day or two. She's heard different stories as to the timeframe for convalescing, anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months. Luckily she's young and in pretty good shape, so her prognosis is good. It could have been worse to be sure, and she's taking it like a trooper, but she's not too comfortable right now. I feel responsible, being a PDML member.

You might be right about the sharpness, but I would think lens characteristics would be more important than the airspace between the objective and the sensor. One of the sharpest lenses I own is the 4 inch, (100mm), 5 element 4 group f3.5 Kodak Ektar on my Medalist II,, (6x9 on 120 film), it's relatively simple geometry means that theres a lot of airspace between it and the film, at least 6 times the distance as the equivelent 35mm lens, (Pentax 43mm limited), yet it's performance is similar, in fact it's actually quite a bit better wide open.

The same issue that always comes up when comparing formats, bigger is better, (higher image quality), if you can afford it. Mike Johnson had an interesting take on lens compactness. He always thought that amateurs liked telephotos for their extra reach, smaller formats make for smaller long lenses with the same reach, so that would be good.

Re: panasonic's new micro four/thirds camera: G1

Will the image circle of existing 4:3 lenses not completely cover the sensor, therefore, producing vignetting, but increasing the telescopic effect? Do to a gain in DOF, will small aperture diffraction be reduced? No more than on current 4:3 cameras. The format is the same as 4/3 so all 4/3 lenses will cover the format perfectly, using the 4/3-m4/3 adapter, and there will be no difference in imaging quality with them. There just won't be a flippy mirror in the way so the body will be quiet and vibrationless. The FoV- DoF of 4/3 will remain the same with m4/3 ... in other words, a 25mm lens on either will show exactly the same image characteristics at the same aperture and focus distance ... modulo the difference in lens design of course. The shorter register means that simpler, less expensive, smaller and lighter lens designs can be made with equal quality to what is made now for the SLR bodies ... a 20mm f/1.7 (on the roadmap) for m4/3 will be 30-50% smaller than the size of the same lens designed for the DSLR bodies since you could do it with a non-retrofocus design. EG: the Leica Summilux-D 25mm f/1.4 ASPH for the SLR bodies, redesigned for m4/3, could be as small as a 35mm film rangefinder camera's 25mm f/1.4 and one third the weight of the current lens, which requires a very complex retrofocus lens design to achieve its quality and speed. Older 4/3 SLR lenses were not designed for contrast-detect AF focusing algorithms. Lenses produced since Olympus/Panasonic/Leica pioneered Live View in DSLRs, and then pioneered CDAF. All lenses produced since CDAF in SLRs was invented, and those that have been given focusing algorithm firmware updates, are what works with the m4/3 focusing system. Others are manually focused and some of the fancy face detect and follow focus features are not available, that's all. Of the list of compatible 4/3 lenses, I've got all the ones that matter already (Leica 14-50/2.8-3.5, Leica 25/1.4, Olympus 25/2.8 ...). Yes, size matters. I want my cameras to be smaller, lighter, easier to carry and returning the same quality as what I have now. ];-) For the way I use a viewfinder, if Panasonic has done what I think they have, this will be a fantastic addition to my kit. I wouldn't pass judgement until I see one ... can't wait to see one. And they've got the lens I MOST want on the roadmap for next year ... a 20mm f/1.7 prime. Now that makes me happy.

You might be right about the sharpness, but I would think lens characteristics would be more important than the airspace between the objective and the sensor. One of the sharpest lenses I own is the 4 inch, (100mm), 5 element 4 group f3.5 Kodak Ektar on my Medalist II,, (6x9 on 120 film), it's relatively simple geometry means that theres a lot of airspace between it and the film, at least 6 times the distance as the equivelent 35mm lens, (Pentax 43mm limited), yet it's performance is similar, in fact it's actually quite a bit better wide open.

As technology improves and 24x36mm sensors become more prevalent, (and there's no upgrade path even possible), I think this will be relegated to a second class system, sort of where 4:3 is headed today. The same issue that always comes up when comparing formats, bigger is better, (higher image quality), if you can afford it. Mike Johnson had an interesting take on lens compactness. He always thought that amateurs liked telephotos for their extra reach, smaller formats make for smaller long lenses with the same reach, so that would be good. But it's not the effective focal length it's the physical size that matters. Most amateurs want big lenses because they look more impressive. My 400 captures the same image, (on my sensor), as your 800 on your's, but the 800 trumps. In other words size /still/ matters.
