    You mean firing everyone in power, repealing Citizens United and blocking corporate money from elections, and then electing young leaders who don’t have an ulterior motive and actually want to drive progress and improve things?

    I’d be down with that but good luck actually pulling that off.












  • I was actually using an FD lens adapted to a Micro 4/3 camera at the time, a Canon FD 70-210mm f4 lens to be exact, and was new to running manual glass then, I just thought it was a cute shot.

    Prior to getting my first ILC, an Olympus E-M5, which sadly has since died of a stuck shutter, I was using a cheap Cybershot (which I put back into service as a backup and I’m presently using it until I can get the sensor for the E-M5’s replacement, a Panasonic GF2, cleaned).

    And to be fair, that cheap Cybershot, an H300, really isn’t that bad for what it is other than the fact that it’s fully autofocus and it doesn’t support shooting in raw formats and is limited to JPEGs only.

    Canon FD 70-210mm f4 adapted to an Olympus E-M5 at the time, and I also added a Kodachrome 200 film sim haldCLUT to it in RawTherapee.

    Assuming such a ring exists, I could probably attach an M42-FD adapter ring to my current lens adapter (which is now being used with a Panasonic GF2 as the camera that snapped this pic has since died of a stuck shutter) and use M42 glass without having to get a new adapter, which the adapter used in this shot is a Fotasy FD-M4/3.

    Thanks! And technically it’s still around just under a new name - the OM System OM-series, but the camera that replaced the E-M5 is a GF2.

    Also, some people argue that the CCD in certain 4/3 DSLRs is film-like in how it captures images.

    Also, since Leica makes MFT glass, I kinda wonder why they never made any MFT bodies as their entry-level lineup while APS-C and full-frame L-mount could be their mainstream lineup and the M-mount rangefinders could be positioned as their halo products - something that Leica customers could hypothetically aspire to.
