Hi Jono, I haven't tried an E3. Hopefully Olympus will see fit to get that E3 viewfinder in a future E-4xx series camera. That would be a step in the right direction for my needs!

Hummmmmm...Maggie, it's an older (late sixties, early seventies) chrome Summilux 50. different than the pre-asph version most of the people seem to have here, but i much prefer its character. whilst theirs focus closer, i think mine has much more glow and is still surprisingly sharp wide open. the bokeh is beautiful as well... there's just something magical about it and it was love from the first snap. i'm keeping my eye out for other lenses from this era now. i've been spoiled
rapping you on the knuckles, Helen!Cindy:
this was shot with the M8......OF COURSE
:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:rapping you on the knuckles, Helen!
yes, it was the M8. more importantly, it was Cindy! she has gorgeous shots of flowers on other cameras, other lenses as well. she could probably do one on a cell phone...
it's NOT the camera. it's NOT the lens. it's THE PERSON pressing the shutter!
you've got two pretty f***ing fantastic cameras right now, USE THEM!
i know i'm never going to be able to get pretty flower images no matter what camera or lenses i may have at my disposal. frankly, i don't think they're your forte either.
i know i've waxed poetic about my Lux -- and, yeah, it helps make less than spectacular pictures a little bit more special -- but still. i'm content. will i get every last detail the M8 can give me? no! but i get what i need. the essence of an image.
now go put the Rolling Stones on your iPod and start shooting!
Jono,Hi Amin
I quite agree - it seems that NO camera manufacturer will accept that there are people who will pay decent money for small - it's clearly possible to make a high quality small dSLR - just nobody does it.
A metal bodied 4/3 camera with the software and viewfinder of an E3 would be a real winner for me . . . . . let's hope it isn't too long a wait!
Sure, nice image too :thumbup:...will i get every last detail the M8 can give me? no! but i get what i need. the essence of an image...
