say what? are you maybe confusing this fine forum with FB or summat? I call BS.... POTN is far better than some (most) other "free" establishments. :lol:

say yes.

heaps of useless clutter and wasted space, animations that are pointless, many extra clicks to accomplish things that are just not worth even bothering.

I hate visiting this place now and do so only rarely now.

Obligitory new gear duck shot....

QUOTED IMAGE

Panasonic G85, 100-300 II F4.0-5.6 @ 300 (600 FF equiv.) ISO 200, f5.6 1/50s handheld. Probably should have increased the ISO, but the dual IS (body + lens) did a pretty good job. Actually I shot this one from waste height with the articulating screen. So despite doing just about everything possible to stuff up the shot it still looks pretty good. I must force myself to trust auto ISO....or at least get back into the habit of thinking about it more when shooting.

Who says M4/3 can't blur the background?

I like this pic, and yeah, tricks and tips I learnt way back in film and box camera times times still seem to apply, even in M4/3 ;)

Sigma seems to be on fire at the moment with their new gear, and the test results are impressive ............ Still after a 500-600mm zoom and a new wide to below 17mm

yea I liked the 24-70 F2.8

I might look at getting that to replace the nice soft 24-105 F4. Shame tho I would be missing the 70-105 range so I might have to get a cheap zoom lens.

I'm trying life without the 24-105 F4, got the 16-35 f/4 and the 70-200 f/2.8, figuring I can cover the missing 35m with my feet, liking the results so far :)
