you know, I might have one of those (and a K-mount to u4/3 adapter) lying around. I've definitely got an A50mm/f1.4, an A50mm/f1.7, and an M28mm/f2.8; I'm just not entirely sure whether or not I hung on to an M50mm/1.4 to keep my MX company. On Thu, Apr 14, 2022 at 11:18:44PM +0100, Steve

Some years ago during the pre-digital era (remember that?) I was in outback South Australia when the only camera I had (a Ricoh as it happens) packed it in. I was unable to replace it until I reached Adelaide a week or two later (another Ricoh!) I vowed never to travel without a backup again -

John, a lot of sense in which you say. I have never been that fussy & luckily have never had a crisis. I have retained my K110D body just in case my K5 packs up some day but don't cart it around with me. In fact I still use it occasionally just for the hell of it. If I don't need to crop much,

I too always take two cameras when shooting for a client. Now it’s a K-1 and a K-3. I can fit both and about ten lenses in a pelican case, but it’s pretty damn heavy. That’s okay when I’m working out of the trunk of a car , which is almost always. My list of cameras owned is similar. I still

Well, the new OM-1 (which wasn't realeased when I bought my M1X) at the top-of-the-line point does seem to be about the same price as a K3. Mind you, although Olympus show the M1X at the full $3000 price point, there are still a few places (including some Amazon sellers) listing it at the $1700

I am considering celebrating my new job by getting a u4/3 camera to carry on my bike, possibly an E-M5. I was poking around last night looking at the current models and a couple of them are up in the K3iii price range, if not more expensive, if you buy them new. I did see a couple of bodies

You guys are crazy. You need a big frame on wheels on which you can mount them all & then fire them simultaneously with some sort of automatic device. Then you could spend the next week analysing all the images so you can rank them in order of sharpness, colour rendition & whatever else you

As some of you may remember, some five months ago I decided that the K3iii, while a nice camera, wasn't tempting enough to get me to spend that amount of money on a new APS-C camera body. I was already finding that carrying a camera bag with my K5, the 60-250, and a selection of other items
