<p>Panasonic G1. It has EVIL and can focus with all your Leica Glass. And you can look at all your images in viewfineder before and after your shot them. Its true WYSWYG</p>

<p>Vivek: Will do.Thank you<br>

Akira. you right, i posted JPEG file of my Lightroom screen dump. Let me post 100% crop from the same RAW image exported at 100% JPEG and you will see what I mean. Thank you in advance for trying to help.</p><div></div>

<p>CC Chang. JPG out of camera is horible even at ISO 100, RAW files from Lightroom look better then JPG. But to get clarity I am looking for I need to do Noise Ninja with custom profiles. So, look like my camera have issues? Cheers</p>

<p>There are no jpg files. its same raw file, processed in lightroom. On right before Noise Ninja on left after. Thanks for the help</p>

<p>look like i can't upload picture. There is link: http://picasaweb.google.com/dbalzac/PolinaIII#5364951729332469554</p>

and again</p>

<p>trying again to post images</p>

<p>Hi, I see very strong noise at ISO 100. Is it normal? Please see example below. Both shot raw 1/125 f5.6, ISO100. On the left after noise ninja and on the right before. I find noise on the right too strong for base ISO. Is something wrong with my camera? should it go back to Panasonic? Thank you for your help.</p>

<p>Hi, I read RTFM and made search on google, but I can't understand what "i-exposure" function (p102) does? Is it just add some exposure compensation (+1 to +3) based on contrast, or there is more to it? And what is best setting? (off/low/std/high?) Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Sorry for dreadful What next lens to get question, but I been strugle for a weeks with it. Assuming money not huge issue, but IQ and Weight/Bulk is. Lens will be used to capture fast moving subjects (kids, trains, sports, small animals), where MF and my bad eyes and slow hands, will not work anymore.<br>

I am using D200 as my camera with some remote chance to upgrade to D700 when it will be 2-3yr old and price comes down. From all review sites IQ at 5.6-8 in 70-200 range (sweet spot) is about the same. But 70-200 f2.8 is 2 times weight and builk of 70-300, and I am afraid that this diffrence might force me to keep it at home.<br>

In 70-200 range I own some MF AI primes already (85f1.4, 105 f2.5, 135f2.8 E, 180f2.8 ED) and love them. They all small light, but need to capture fast moving subjects and my eyes + MF doesn't let me do it. At some point in past I use to own 18-200 VR lens but sold it, as was very unhappy with IQ of it. Now i have 16-85 VR and very happy with it as my only AF, walk about lens.<br>

What Should i do? Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>I just think how good to have 35mm f0.9 as Normal lens for my D200 :)... Can put to shame D700 low light performance. Oh</p>

<p>I found some amazing pages from Japan with some very exotic Nikkor lenses. I did not even know Nikon had fastest production lens ever TV-Nikkor 35 f/0.9 (beats both Canon and Leica) and Some Amazing 85 f1. Check this out. Its such a cool stuff. <br>

<p>CoastalOpt UV-VIS-IR 60. Not that I need it, but its THE sharpess lens in the world!</p>

<p>ok its my first picture ever and annimated gif thats named <strong>power of photography</strong></p>

<p>Thank you everyone for your help. I will order bunch of doors on Monday from Boca Photo. Its look like great shop. Thanks again, as usual this forum is great! Cheers</p>

<p>Do you know anyone who makes aftermarket battery doors for D200. I am tired to replace door on my D200 with Nikon part. I just broke 4th one in 3yrs and its getting to my nerves! Thank you in advance</p>

<p>its better not to be TROLL!</p>

<p>Akira. Should I ask my Japanese friends to send them quick e-mail? Chances of them speaking English should be low? Do you have phone number by any chance they can call? Thank you for your help. Rgrds</p>

<blockquote>

<p>If you are going for the M adapter get the RayQual one. Simply the best (and perhaps the cheapest as well)</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Vivek, thank you for advice. I will be in Japan in next few weeks and will try to find it. I hope mapcamera or lemon camera have stock of adapters. G1 is such great little camera, I hope Leica get wake up call and stop selling 2yr old technology at inflated prices. M8.2 got to be most insane pricing i seen in my adult life. When M8 came out, at least you can argue its state of the art sensor/camera combo, but it was 2yr ago - times change....</p>

<blockquote>

<p>"<em>FWIW, I have >20 usable primes (plus the kit zoom which is in its pouch) for the G1 now. I do use them.<br /> The M4/3 cameras can get a lot smaller and better. But the very first one itself is a blast!</em> "</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Vivek. How IQ of Leica lenses on G1 compare to Epson RD-1 and Leica M8? As I have no adapter yet, I run some tests on G1 with kit lens agains M8 Lux 35 1.4 ASPH. its almost as good as Leica combo at f5.6 and 8 but at f11 diffraction kicks in and at f16 is much much softer. Rgrds</p>

<p>future stopping down to 5.6 and 8 did not improve IQ, however at 11 its start to go down again (as expected)</p><div></div>

<p>@4</p><div></div>

<p>at 2.8</p><div></div>

<p>there at @2 (before was at 1.8)</p><div></div>

<p>I run very quick test with my 50 f1.8 D (Made in China!). D200, ISO400, 2M, tripod mount, remote release. 100% bottom left corner 100% crop. As you can see, its OK by 2.8 and very find at 4,5.6 and image start to go down at 11 (due to absolute aperture diffraction of 11 on APS size sensor)</p><div></div>
