Someone referenced this old blog post to me today and I went back and read it. LMAO. Sad to laugh at one's own writing....

Next we'll take on the DXO believers. And the invariance crowd. Warming up for the final event: a mud wrestling match with the Equivalence Coven. Hexagrams and Wolf's Bane galore.

Happy 4th. Don't let the tanks run over your dog.

    Still enjoying my G3½ aka GX1. I added video hacks for higher bit-rate and audio specs - but I don't shoot video, I forgot about that. That's OK though: by today's standards HD is useless anyway except when it's a 4k crop so HD alone isn't real video.

      You're talking about those crop zooms they do on YouTube videos?

    Vintage Kirk. And a vey fine vintage, may I add. So inspiring that I pulled the old G5 out of the drawer, popped on the Olympus 25mm, and began snapping away. The results were surprisingly impressive. Aside from a shutter that sounds like the lock on a men’s room toilet stall, the G5 holds its own against the EM5.2 for stills. Hmmm.

    Very fine, not “vey fine”. Dammit.

    You should have sent this to SNL. It would have made a great skit.

    Bwahaahaa, that is funny. I love it! I expect that the "experts" and "photographers" on that infamous web page would not get your humor - too subtle for them.

    But strange things are happening at the infamous review site. When an article about film or plate glass shows up, I do not see nearly as many of the inane "film is dead" or "I gave up film and my work is so superior now" drivel that you saw for years. Were the trolls purged? Or now that film has some degree of revival, will that crowd suddenly "discover" it? All of a sudden they won't be so smirky that they gave up film? There is cognitive dissonance afoot.

    I used a G3 for several years and was very happy with it. At the time, I think it was one of the the smallest interchangeable lens camera with a built-in eye-level finder as well as a screen on the back (not sure if the Nikon 1 existed yet). I took mine up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in 2015 and it never missed a beat despite cold and gritty dust. It also went to Mustang in Nepal, Burma, and other places.
