        1. Those always a couple of tossers. Or are you bum buddies? Btw, I did’t vote up. Looks like other people agree. Or did you have something to do with this boring video?

    1. Your death will be lonely and sad. You will smirk now, but when you’re at that point of dying you will remember this.

  1. The 15mm Summilux just hit my place & I’m on my way to collect it .
    Like the photos from ITmedia , another new lens coming to collection .
    Since I sold my 14mm F2.5 , I rely heavily on this lens for my wide angle mission .

  2. Just watched the video of GH4 super 8. Initially i wanted to see technical stuff but i was captivated by the content of the video. Though the editing and framing was problematic in some points, the actual concept and performance of the artist was brilliant! Bravo!

  3. I don’t know y, I just find extreme anamorphic to be very cool, even though in real life I wonder how practical that would be 🙂 Wish slr magic gave us more options..

  4. Got my copy of the 15mm P/L this week. I’d been missing a moderate wide angle since selling the 14/2.5 (didn’t really care for that lens).
    The 15mm is exactly what I wanted. Love the way it renders, looks similar to the 25mm P/L in it’s rendering.

    1. Thanks for your comment. I just sold my 14 because also it didn’t do anything for me, and have been wondering about the 15.

  5. Hi there! It’s one of the resident trolls speaking. It seems like there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation being spread regarding the identity and nature of the trolls who are active on this site. Therefore, I wanted to address some of the false statements that have been made by m4/3 fanboys recently.

    1. It’s often said here, and on the sister site Sony Alpha Rumors (where I also troll), that there is only one troll who basically spends all his time posting here, using a large number of different names. I can assure you, that this is wrong. An analysis of writing style, type of argumentation, prevalence of misspellings and grammatical errors, etc., clearly shows that there are, in addition to myself, at least two other trolls on these sites, possibly even more.

    Personally, I’m the guy behind such beloved characters as The Almighty, A-mount Forever, A-mount is dead, Anonymous, Assman, Award-winning photographer, Camera Market Researcher, Disappointed, Equivalence Forever, Film Forever, FullFrameForever, Full frame for everyone, Gordon, Guest speaker, Hulk Hogan, Jack Napier, Pennypacker, Photomeister, Pro wildlife photographer, The real Dan (not to be confused with Dan, who is another troll), Semiconductor engineer, Sony Warrior and yabokkie. That last one has only been used sporadically here, but is well-known from the DPReview site.

    2. Someone recently speculated that “the troll” is Eastern European and an 18-year-old college drop-out. I can only speak for myself and not for the other trolls, of course, but I am neither of those things. I will in fact turn 38 next month, and I’m Scandinavian, not Eastern European. Maybe that’s the same thing to an uneducated American, but the more erudite among you should know the difference.
    I didn’t drop out of college either, by the way. I majored in both mathematics and philosophy, and briefly considered embarking on an academic career, but the onset of mental illness (clinical depression and panic anxiety disorder) prevented me from doing that. I’m fine nowadays, though, so don’t you worry about me.

    3. Another oft-repeated “truth” around here, is that the trolls are paid shills, working for Canon or Nikon. I really take offence to that. I’m not on the payroll of any camera manufacturer. I do this solely for fun and pleasure in my spare time, and I suspect the other trolls do the same. I have a day job for sure, but it’s completely unrelated to my trolling.
    All the talk about shilling, anti-4/3 FUD campaigns and any suggestions that there’s some kind of organization behind the trolling, is nothing but conspiracy theories born out of paranoia, insecurity and an inflated sense of self-importance. Who would pay people to post insults, nonsense and gibberish on internet forums? What a waste of money!

    My own personal motivation for trolling is, as I said, mainly to have fun, but also to perform social experiments. I like to stir up people’s emotions, to poke at them to see what happens,
    much like a scientist tests how an amoeba reacts to different external stimuli. It’s very revealing and interesting.
    I also troll forums where people discuss politics, religion, UFO sightings, sports (especially soccer), health and fitness, cars and motorcycles, games consoles and smartphones, basically any forum where people have a strong emotional investment in their beliefs and opinions. I remember one time, when I posted in a Metallica forum, saying that they haven’t written a single good song since Dave Mustaine was kicked out of the band, and that Megadeth would kick their asses anytime. The flame war that followed was hilarious!

    I don’t always troll, though. Sometimes I write posts that are intended as parodies or pastiches of other trolls. These are often confused with “real” trolling posts, which tells me that irony and sarcasm often fly under the radar in internet forums.
    I also regularly make normal posts and partake in normal discussions, but I’m careful not to use any of my troll names when doing that.

    4. Someone said that I probably don’t even own a camera, or that I own full frame gear that I don’t know how to use properly. Well, I do own a few cameras, and I have a genuine interest in photography, but it’s not a super-serious hobby of mine. I’m a weekend warrior, I guess.
    I don’t shoot full frame, by the way! I have a Canon 70D, an Olympus E-M5, a Sony RX100 II and an old Canon G12.
    So you see, I have nothing against m4/3, because I really enjoy shooting with my E-M5 and I like the results. You shouldn’t confuse the opinions expressed in a trolling post with the true opinions of the person behind the troll.

    I hope I have clarified everything now. Let’s return to the normal routine around here, or what do you people say?

    1. Perhaps you failed to notice; he has a Manfrotto tripod quick release foot attached to the camera throughout the video. I’m confident that at least some of the footage was acquired with the camera on the tripod. Of course, that is the photographer’s/videographer’s option. Jordan knows video very well and has done a fine job making this video.

      I understand that as a troll you are only looking for any little carping point but it is obvious that you have never even considered video.

      Last week I took my GH4 on a sailboat adventure, I did not take a tripod or monopod because I know they would only get in the way. Real consumer – enthusiast videographer’s must use many ingenious techniques to keep footage steady and usually without IBIS.

  6. 1) That guy is in great shape, 2) He is insane 3) Sorry, bad camera work…. I guess you could not move around like you should have …. how wide was that? I have a 20:1 screen…. seemed close to that…
