Wow. Pretty cool photoshop job in the title image – to make Panny look so much much more bigger than the NEX.
5N v. G3: http://camerasize.com/compact/#34.88,185.374,ha,t
Yes, the image is offensive for every m43 stuff owners š
even bigger G5 really is not so big: http://camerasize.com/compact/#34.88,347,ha,t
Lol, and you added a lens to the NEX to make it more “inoffensive”, right?
You’ve got it right š
That is definitely not a G3.

The image in the eBay 25mm sale is not the 25mm lens. It is the picture of the 35mm 1.4. Don’t know if the listing is fake but it doesn’t give credibility to the seller.
Looks like the image was borrowed from Adorama’s listing which uses the same image. I contacted the seller for more clarification…
Thanks for pointing that out! I borrowed the image from Adorama, and it looks like they are picturing the 35/1.4 in their listing…
SLR Magic 25/T0.95 is genuine!
…listing has been updated with an image of the 25mm/T0.95 lens…
Peleton123,
Now you are using a crop from a photo that was taken by me for the article about that lens at http://3d-kraft.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=137&catid=40&Itemid=2
This is an infringement of intellectual properties as you did not request a permission. Please remove that image from the auction immediately!
Regards
Helge
Helge,
Just wanted to add that your article was one of the sources that led me to purchase the SLR Magic, a lens with which I am extremely happy. So, many thanks.
BTW, the auction appears now to have been blocked by eBay.
Helge you could also ask a percentage from the finalized auction š
Sorry Mate!
I found your photo from a forum discussing the lens, and I didn’t realize it was from your article (which is excellent by the way). I’ve since replaced your image. Sorry for stepping on your toes – I didn’t expect this listing to have such exposure and figured a short listing image was innocuous enough.
I did link to your outstanding article in the posting. I hope the (credited) exposure is a step in the right direction…

Who uses an iPad for post production work? I can understand it for photo viewing/demoing purposes, but PP, really?
LOL my heat stared racing when i read that line, its beyond me why people would at all. then again try to argue an you will get ”art is art”. ok be happy with your over exposed images an crushed to death blacks an funky filters my friend.
I use my Ipad 3 for basic jpeg retouching using snapseed then post them to Flickr when I am away from home. I shoot RAW plus jpeg , snapseed let’s me do the basics just fine, I can sharpen,crop, adjust colour,contrast and so on. When I get home I can the PP the RAW files in PS for images I want to print large etc, to be honest the Jpeg engine of the E-m5 is rather good. As time moves on these handheld devices will become more and more versatile . If you haven’t tried using snapseed , give it a go you might be surprised lol

I can definitely see how you’d want to use an iPad for light retouching before uploading to places like Instagram, and there’s nothing wrong with jpeg post processing if you don’t need the extra headroom in terms of dynamic range and color depth. But I would hardly call an app that doesn’t support photos larger than 3 megapixels a “post processing” app. Snapseed, just like most other photo retouching apps, simply resizes the files to an extremely small size compared to the sensor output of your m43 camera. I just don’t see the point of using something like that for anything but Instagram or Facebook. But then you’d still have to redo all the post processing once you begin to work on your full size photos (raw/jpeg), so I still don’t see the point. š
Guys, sorry for my OFF, but my new G5 has a little pincushion distorsion at the viewfinder (G3 hasnāt, the image is perfectly rectangular) and the grip has a very slight crackle (crunch) near the battery door. Is that normal for a japanese product?!
