About a year ago, I picked up some used u4/3 gear to carry on bike rides. On my bike rides I’ve been using the Oly 14-150.
The good news is that it is a lot smaller and lighter than even the APS Pentax kit. It also does a better job than my phone camera. I am still struggling with the UI. A large part of that is just after almost 15 years of using Pentax DSLRs, I’m pretty familiar with them, though I do admit that the K-3 III often leaves me stumped. It is also quite possible that Pentax just did a better job with the UI than did Panasonic. While the area difference between u4/3 and APS is about the same as between APS and FF, processing the raw files, I notice a much bigger difference in how “brittle” the files are. They seem to have more noise, and less dynamic range. My gut feeling is that they are also a lot more brittle when it comes to cropping in close. There aren’t any really good photos in these sets, I think that they are mostly interesting as casual snapshots, and for technical comparisons. There are several duplicates in this set because I was experimenting with and comparing different processing (mostly HDR and not). In a couple of the shots, you can see a herd of wild burros in the field, many hanging out in the shade under a tree. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720308848810 In comparison, here are a bunch of very casual snaps and selfies I took with my phone. Some of them just to geotag the photos with the Gx9. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HtX9RpsEL9bnv9hb7 I don’t know if this link will work for folks without google accounts, they say to share with the previous link https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNWmjBwBll_FBWlDU6bLN-IXs1LnH6lhgKCFKAjs4xYr_Q7uns7TzdaSqwQebuM8A?key=UmpXLTRtbUEzQ1BUS0lDU2kxOXd4ck12b01ZQWtR -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
