I was one of the original members way back in the early 'Naughties' just after EPZ started.
Left after a humongous row with the founder, Peter Bargh over one of his choices of 'Picture of the Week' (it was grossly obscene) and closed my account.
Some of you know me as Mike Otley.

Doing What They Do Best by digicammad
I am a huge fan - and have several friends who have been privileged to be part of the ground crew over the years so I have seen many images of 'The Reds'.
But this is one of the best ever.- 15 Sep 2013 12:59PM

....bizzare decision to split the 32 points over so many pages is it an SEO trick or something? -

The cloud is not an option I care to choose. I always shoot RAW. If I shoot with my Pentax 645, then I save as DNG since Capture 1 is not recognised by Pentax as Pentax ... -

Posted on: Top 7 Best Nikon Portrait Lenses
Since when has a 50mm focal length been a good choice for portraiture!? Let me qualify that...
'Portraiture' is 'head and shoulders' i.e. the face almost fills the frame. Anything else is not Portraiture.
The lens compression difference >< 50mm and 85mm are huge in distortion terms.
However... if one is shooting a subject that incorporates the full body length then it's fine.
But that is not 'Portraiture' in pure photographic terms.

Posted on: Samyang Announce Fish-Eye Lens
If it's anything close to the MFT 7.5mm version then the FF boys 'n girls are on to a winner.
I don't know how they do it when it comes to controlling CA and edge sharpness - they are good. Mine out-performs my Nikkor 10.5mm f2.8 DX lens all the way.- 10 Sep 2014 6:46PM

Posted on: Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 UMC Fisheye Lens Review
I have just taken delivery of mine for my E-PM2 and the review above states in the 'Cons' that "Manual focusing ring is a little stiff."
Incorrect. The focussing ring is superbly damped - and rightfully so given the nature of the lens.
This lens is a fabulous piece of engineering and equally superb optically. Opening up an image in DxO which automatically detects and corrects CA show almost no modification whatsoever. This lens is even better than my Nikkor 10.5mm f2.8 fisheye when it comes to overall performance.
BTW - it is available @ £159.00 'out there' if you look- 29 Aug 2014 4:22PM

Posted on: Depth Of Field & Hyperfocal Distance Calculator
Looks good but there are are several FREE Apps out there which cover the same ground. This would have to be really something to justify the spend. Is there a 'Lite' (i.e.Free) version to assess first?- 26 Jul 2014 5:29PM

This software is staggering... Just left to 'do it's thing' in standard mode post install... The things it does to my old D200 NEF's is unbelievable. Noise? What noise? Lens abberations? What lens abberations? Fisheye lens corrections? Right on the money.
Seriously... do I reload my LR 4+ now the new PC is (finally) up and running??
THAT is a difficult question.- 13 Jul 2014 8:35PM

'Cons'! What 'Cons'!! (if you want to shoot video - buy a video camera!!)

As an E-P1 (now traded-in) and a current VERY happy E-PM2 owner... this is an awesome camera.- 22 Nov 2013 9:54PM
