Photographer's Guide to Luminar 4

I have had Luminar for about a year but haven't done much with it yet. While it is pretty intuitive, there is a learning curve, as there is with any such program. I just picked up a copy of 'The Photographer's Guide to Luminar 4' by Jeff Carlson and it is excellent. The way it is organized is very u...

Macro/Closeup Section

There seems to be a lot of interest in macro and closeup photography. Perhaps it warrants its own section on the Forum.

Rick Bear, the person you should be addressing is Ron Snyder. He is the one who got stiffed, not me. I just asked about his using PayPal.

Ouch! He also collected some bad karma and it will come back to haunt him.

Re: 12-40mm f/2.8 vs Two Prime Lenses?

This might be a naive question, but aren't you protected if you go through PayPal? I've used it for purchases and sales in the past and I always thought it worked well to ensure the transaction. Am I mistaken?

Re: Need to sell a camera.. but which one...

8-Bit, you scored a steal of a deal. On eBay $400 seems to be a good price for just a used body. I just paid $435 for a nice EM5ii with only 1200 clicks.

Re: 3rd party batteries for Olympus Cameras

An old Olympus BLN-1 dated 2012 still works well and holds its charge. Thereafter, I went to B&H and ordered another Olympu...
