Jan:after I got my Panasonic 14-140mm 3.5-5.6, I was unsure, if I should keep my Panasonic 45-150mm. This is why I made a comparison test of the two lenses. I thought you and your readers might be interested in such a comparison. You can watch the video on Youtube (https://youtu.be/n_m17MmD2_8) or read it at my blog (http://www.janundseinekamera.de/panasonic-14-140mm-ii-vs-panasonic-45-150mm-comparison-review/).

Daniel: “To add some picture substance to my previous personal review of the Panasonic Lumix GM5 (http://photodanielm.blogspot.ca/2015/10/panasonic-lumix-gm5-purpose-of-m43.html), here are others pictures taken during a recent journey to Greece.

Patrick:Perhaps you would like to share my german YouTube tutorial videos to the OM-D E-M10 Mark II (and the OM-D E-M1 aswell).
In more than a year I created over 11 tutorials about the OM-D E-M1 and E-M10:

And now I made a new, over 1 hour, detailed tutorial for beginners to the E-M10 Mark II and also explained the focus bracketing in a second Video:

Christian:Bei einer Irland Rundreise habe ich alles mit einer OM-D E-M1 und ein paar guten Linsen fotografiert.
Dabei hat mir die Kamera immer gute Dienste geleistet. Auch wenn das Wetter mal nicht so perfekt war.
Die OM-D sind für die Reise und das leichte Gepäck ideal.

Jim Chang: Over the years, I have collected many anamorphic projection lenses for my own video projects and experiment. But I have always been puzzled by adapting anamorphic projection lens to my taking lenses, even though I tried every type of adapter that I can buy, but I am still not fully satisfied. So I developed the Rapido Anamorphic Lens Adapter. Please check it out at www.rapidotechnology.com

Basically, the adapter offers:
1. a better concentric alignment
2. a more stable connection
3. a repeatable alignment: use the marker on the side of the inner ring for quick alignment
4. a reusable and more flexible solution: for different anamorphic lenses, just find the customized step-down ring, and connect to your existing Rapido Anamorphic Adapter, and you are done. No need different, some time hard to find adapter, for each of your anamorphic lens
5. a simple and easy online instruction with illustrations, to show you how to adapt each anamorphic lens at: www.rapidotechnology.com
Even though I tried to include all the anamorphic lens that I can find, but I know there are still some are left out, please let me know if you have some anamorphic lens you like to adapt, I typically finish design/manufacturing in 2-3 weeks.

Hope you will like it. Thanks”

Michael:Recently back from a few weeks in Afghanistan; here is a gallery: https://qamera.smugmug.com/Galleries/Afghanistan/. Scroll to the end to see some commentary on the very trim photography kit I used: two Olympus cameras (E-M1 and E-M10) and two lenses (12-40 f/2.8 and 75 f/1.8). Both performed wonderfully although I did have some issues with dust in the E-M10.  (I was waiting for an E-M5 II loaner but it did not happen).
