Be Straight And Honest.
Sigma, actually known for good lenses – the 75mm f/1.8, for example, is manufactured by Sigma – shows how they manufacture mirrorless cameras – in this case the “Sigma fp“. You can also see why none of the cameras leave the factory with “0” shutter releases. 348,000 views in 5 days. Which […]
I got another question about a problem that many people underestimate. The brightness of the display doesn’t seem to be right. You take pictures in the studio or outside in the current bad weather, realize that the camera overexposes for strange reasons – or even in the studio the pictures in M […]
First the bad news: in my last annual review for 2022, I predicted that a camera and two lenses would arrive in 2023. Half a camera arrived – the TG-7 – and the 90 mm macro. My apologies: At the time, I only reproduced what OMDS officials officially claimed on YouTube in […]
I already discussed this in the last FolyFos. OMDS has switched off the A-GPS service. For those who don’t know: GPS needs a current directory of satellite orbit data to determine the location. With normal GPS, the receiver can get the data from the satellite and then use it to calculate the […]
After I received an e-mail and doubts were expressed in the comments about the weight of my tripod, here is a picture of it. I had never weighed the tripod. It is definitely very heavy. I have now found the old brochure for the SCS-1 at Cambo, and with all the accessories […]
Helge has sent me the following “call for help”: Following a request, I checked the feasibility of a battery adapter for the OM-1. Reinhard was kind enough to measure the battery for me. I have now built a prototype and am looking for someone in Vienna who can provide me with an […]
Novoflex has built a bellows for mFT, with mFT connections at the front and rear. Here you can see the Apparillo with a 75mm at the front and an E-M5II at the back and a Novoflex Castel-QP at the bottom. This is the Arca-Swiss sled hanging on the bottom. It has lots […]
Over the next few days, we will once again be inundated with annual reviews – most of which have already been broadcast – because the first one to come out will benefit from the fact that people are not yet sick of it. But this day is still a day to sit […]
It’s on the OMDS website. We are the unexpected. We don’t race, never have and don’t plan to. This is the homepage. It even has the copyright at the bottom: 2021 OM Digital Solutions Corporation. This is the second homepage of OMDS, the first one only showed a short message from CEO […]
At the last FolyFos we announced a competition, simply take pictures, send them to us, we judge (i.e. give our opinion and award points) and the sender with the most points gets a package of Olympus merchandise from me. Blue-eyed as we are, we sent it out and the next day the […]
Before I send the Laowa back to Andreas – MANY THANKS again for the loan – here is the conclusion. The lens is sharp right into the corners. (As I’ve already written several times, there are occasionally misaligned lenses, but it’s actually sharp.) You can also see this in panos like this […]
Heute Abend das 41. FolyFos. Vor über drei Jahren haben wir mit der Nummer angefangen. Dies ist also das vierte Weihnachts-FolyFos…. Den Link zum FolyFos gibt’s wieder nicht hier, sondern hier: https://oly-e.de/gruppen/folyfos-stammtisch/forum/topic/41-folyfos-22-12-2023 Und damit man das kucken kann, braucht man einen Account bei oly-e und muss sich in der Gruppe angemeldet haben.
