Be Straight And Honest.
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. […]
The Nisi is a block. And of all the wide-angle lenses I’ve been lugging around over the last month, it’s the slowest. And with 2.8 you can’t expect much bokeh: Focusing distance 20cm – quite good, but the 7.5 mm Laowa goes up to 12cm. Right in the center of the image […]
I’ve already reported here about my WD NAS – which was suddenly nauseous. And quite rightly, some commentators have pointed out that operating temperatures of 53°C are not the yellow of the egg. The WD NAS are pretty simple in design. The disks hang vertically and the device relies on the chimney […]
In a comment, I once again came across “iMatch”, an image management program that is made in Germany and has been in development for several decades. I tried out the program four years ago and put it aside relatively quickly. This time I let the program loose on 8TB images – just […]
Der dritte Advent ist rum, und vor dem vierten Advent haben wir tatsächlich noch ein FolyFos – das letzte des Jahres, denn “zwischen den Jahren” hat der Stammtisch Pause. Es geht natürlich um Plätzchen. Und ein paar interessante Fremdprodukte. Und die neuesten Gerüchte. Und vielleicht sogar ein Fotothema. Interview haben wir diesmal […]
