    M4/3 and flash photography?

    Hi everyone, I am considering trying some flash portraiture/model photography with my gh1. I think it would help a lot with dynamic poses. From my limited understanding of everything in general, the gh1 isn't well suited with syncing with flashes is that correct? Just after some valuable...

    Nikon F mount adapter recomendations please

    Hi Can anyone recommend a good nikon F mount to M4/3 adapter. I recently purchased a tamron lens with a nikon mount which i think is an F mount because the previous owner used it on his D70. I really don't know anything about mounts. Prices vary from $20-$90AUD and they all look the same so...

    More banding in RAW than JPEG GH1?

    Back on the banding bandwagon again. I started off shooting jpegs when I first got the camera, then i got into LR and colour grading so I began shooting in RAW to get the most out of IQ. Banding/Fixed pattern noise has become a big annoyance to me with the GH1 in the photography department. I...

    Does GF1 G1 have fixed pattern noise like GH1?

    I love my GH1, especially the video, but its a love hate relationship. Pictures are fantastic but the fixed pattern noise in underexposed areas/shadows just plain sucks. Even when I make sure i expose correctly it will pop up in some small area within the picture. It has become the one main...

    RRS G1/GH1 L bracket, who has one?

    Popped my head in the RRS site and was happy to see that they have now made a G1/GH1 specific L bracket. Just wanted to see if anyone on here is using one and how do they find it. Any ergonomic quirks? It looks like it lets the screen articulate like normal but wanted to confirm with someone...

    Higher shutter speed with flash GH1

    This may sound like a strange question and I may be missing something in terms of how to use my camera but how does one bump up their shutter speed using the on board flash? It seems to limit itself to 160th. I want to say for example take a shot of a person or object standing infront of a...

    Hi everyone, another novice brain picking question about tripod heads and quick release systems so I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Ok so I wanted to get a Miller DS10 tripod fluid head kit for my GH1 because I mainly do video but it might be overkill. It was suggested that I should...

    Ok, so I got this really odd request from a friend to take some pics at a funeral. I have no photography background at all other than happy snaps. She is fully aware of this but still i would like to do a good job at it. I think i am quite good at composition, though it may be too arty for a...

    General C mount sensor sizes?

    So I've begun shopping around for those industry cctv lenses and I have noticed that they are generally made for 2/3" sensors with the odd 1" sensor. Obviously I'd want to go for the larger one but just curious as to what were the sensor sizes for those old 16mm cmount lenses that everyone is...
