I blame the fish for a lot of things!

Going mirrorless?

 

[GaryE]

The new camera is awesome. Hadn't got it setup for RAW yet, but played around with it a bit..

Heres one from it. (this is a jpg straight from the camera. just cropped it a bit)

Going mirrorless?

Yes. well, the wife went mirrorless a few years ago. I carried around a Canon EOS 7D and a Canon EOS 50D to shoot races. I had a 70-200 F2.8 USM on the 7D and a 50mm 1.8 on the 50D. Plus a few other things in my bag made for a huge load to carry all day.

I can almost fit this Oly in my pocket. So far I'm really liking this camera. It shoots great and the menu system is very user friendly. You can spend all day in the menu on the wifes EM-1.

I came close to getting mirrorless. It seemed like the accessories were still a bit limited. so I decided against it.

I say that... I prolly didn’t know enough about what I was looking at....

There aren't as many lens options and they are quite a bit more expensive.. But, adapters can be had..

I really need a good macro (will be here tomorrow) a good telephoto and a good wide angle (we have one). The 40-150 telephoto is $1300. I could get the cheaper version, but once your used to f2.8, you really can't go back...

What lens are you using? That DoF is amazing

Well, for starters, you have to know that it's super dark in the tank. My lights were at about 25% when I shot that. Just blues. Whites went off about an hour before.


I shot it with an Olympus 14-40 M.Zukio Pro lens.

Here are my settings...

 

[GaryE]

I can't wait for this lens to arrive tomorrow..

 

[GaryE]

One more, just because...
