There doesn’t appear to be any options/ settings – I just shot in 16:9, converted the ORF in DNG converter, and when I opened it in ACR/CS5.5 it came up as a 4:3 file with the whole image.

Not likely at the moment, but I may do one in London in the middle of the year…

Comment on Photographic aspirations, part one: who we are, vs. who we want to be by Ming Thein

When I started, all I set out to do was create a photography site that I’d want to read and comment on – nothing more, nothing less. I think that’s worked out quite well, as the next couple of days will see the site’s 5 millionth visitor – after 15 months. Where we go from here is quite another question though…

(Does a Cult of Ming really exist? How come I don’t have any worshippers, groupies or incoming tithes?

I actually like the M8 for B&W work because its lack of UVIR filtration makes for great shadow tonality; this article might interest you. Thanks in advance for your support!

Haha, there’s no such thing as last camera – but I admire your determination

The OM-D replacement is nothing but speculation at the moment. Think of pictures now vs. waiting vs. not quite getting what you want in the end. In any case, I’d base that decision on whether you need a built in EVF or better JPEG output more…

Not sure what you mean by improvements; it sounds the same as the prototype and is similarly quiet and low pitched as the OM-D.

It's a bit better and definitely less prone to accidental presses, but travel is still not as 'deep' as the OM-D. M lenses wider than 50mm do not work well on M4/3. I've used the OM-D with the 50/1.4 ASPH here.

Really? I have the latest ACR 8.1 but still don’t see a way to restore the whole file area on the 16:9 cropped OMD RAWs. I have tried converted them to DNG but only the cropped area remains. Maybe I’ve missed a setting somewhere.
