We could fix this whole equivalence debate by either getting rid of f/numbers and just using aperture diameters or by getting rid of exposure-based ISO and just using a more absolute measure of sensitivity.On compact Micro Four Thirds bodies it offers impressive image quality and low-light capability in a package significantly smaller and more discreet than any DSLR system. combo (and the D3s) and during this time the most fun I have had taking pictures was with the E-P2 and 20 1. One of the reasons why this m4/3 system is taking off, and also why many big DSLR shooters are selling their entire kits for a Leica M9 is all about weight and size. In this article, we'll go over the basics of colorimetry so you can understand how we measure and plot color, and how colorimeters use this science to confirm your display's color accuracy. which balances perfectly with the hood attached but the lens has ( broadly known and reported) decentering issue.

And also – I am thinking of maybe owning at least one digital camera – and have been thinking about M4/3 and using my best of breed nikkors (28 2.

This may be old news as this lens has been out for a while and there are probably a million reviews out there for it already.
