Shattered Glass: “After reading your blog and watching many of the videos you share, I thought I might send you a video of mine dealing with the SLR Magic 12mm and 25mm Hyperprime lenses. I’ve seen next to nothing about the 25mm on YouTube, and on my video I shared your post about the SLR magic being sharper than the Nokton Voigtlander. Anyway, I hope my video can help out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HjgWypeUpE”
Ivan: “Hi there! I made a short clip using with GH3 and Fujian 25mm 1.4 CCTV lens. With some work in post this combination gives you vintage, almost anamorphic feel. Given the price of the lens ($20 on ebay) I think everyone should have it. Here’s the video: https://vimeo.com/67524039”
Edward: “Thought I’d share my set of pictures from the new Sigma 60mm 2.8 “Art” lens. Previously I have owned the first gen 19mm and 30mm 2.8’s and were very impressed with all their lens qualities but found more suitable replacements in the shape of faster f stop options. This lens however is a real keeper as it’s quite the alternative to the 75mm 1.8. http://www.flickr.com/photos/comedyshots/sets/72157634014718030/ I’m a professional that has made the switch to Micro Four Thirds in a big way. All I miss is the slightly more instant shutter release and the battery life. The IQ absolutely surpasses my Canon 7D. edshots.co.uk”
Jerry: “Its not a rumor, its bug in Olympus E-PL5 when you shutting photos with hi aperture value (for example F12 in A or M) with flash, the live view shows totaly black picture (doesnt simulate flash). Its almost impossible to make composition… I think the problem also exist in P etc. but its mostly visible in A or M. View on the screen should simulate all conditions also flash should be simmulated. Im still waiting for any feedback form olympus tech.”
Joe: “I don’t remember if I ever shared this, but I shot this with the GH2 and the Olympus 45mm. Lit with a Profoto in a medium softbox camera right out the window, as well as a Profoto in a stripbox camera left for rim. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotosiamo/8731665744/in/photostream/ You can see more of my Micro 4/3 work at http://www.fotosiamo.com”

Jerry: Your EPL5 dark screen at high aperture setting with flash sounds like a connection problem, or maybe a settings problem. My EPM2 works fine at high f values….it sounds like the lens is not keeping the aperture blades open on your camera before you press the shutter; perhaps you should try cleaning the lens/body contacts and try again?

Simulating flash realistically is impossible with current tech, but you CAN get a usable image on the LCD regardless of exposure settings by enabling “Live View Boost” in the settings menu.
“Doesn’t simulate flash”? I don’t think any live-view EVF has ever claimed to simulate flash. How could it?

to support this feature, we would need some kine of 3D rendering
Jackar 34mm ƒ/1.8 Review by the Phoblographer just posted today: http://www.thephoblographer.com/2013/02/27/review-jackar-snapshooter-34mm-f1-8-micro-four-thirds/
I just posted this link.
Wow… ePhotozine really liked the G6. And for the price, it is a camera to get. Question is, how long will it take for Amazon or B&H to get one? Late June will probably be late August for us in the states.
Yeah lots of people on flickr talking about upgrading to the G6 from older Mft cameras 🙂
Interesting read on the 1/8000s shutter claim. In simplified marketing terms, Samsung indeed is the first to do that with NX20. I remember they had another model with 1/6000s.
Interesting lens, this 60mm f/2.8 from Sigma, I just wish more of the photos were shot wideopen where it counts(the full and halfbody shots, not just closeups).
Ulli, you asked me for a photo taken with SLR50mm f0.95 wide open, here it is, RAW out of camera.

Thanks Admin for the Flickr shout out! I hope many readers will join.
wow you still remember, great sample, indeed as i expected this 50mm has cool bokeh rendering.Thanks Marco!
This DigitalRev video is a Waste of time, shoddly shot, pointless and so.. well .. whatever. Ar least their sponsor, KLM will be happy.
I can’t imagine saying to watch Alamby is a waste of time.
Ha …DigitalRev is great …maybe pointless to you but relevant to many who like a honest opinion on photography gear …as evidenced by the sponsorship by KLM and Cathay.
Awesome blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m
a little lost on everything. Would you advise
starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Bless you!
