I live in Annapolis MD area. Closest to me is Baltimore (1 hr drive) or Ace Camera in Fairfax VA (90 min drive).
I would consider myself lucky at 20 miles.

Careful John, someone may jump all over you for daring to criticize word usage in a Topic Title, as I did a couple of months ago. Some on the Hog do not believe in the existence of benignly questioning what could be merely an innocent error. Your action could be construed as supercilious.

My maternal grandmother, late of 38 years, used to call any refrigerator a "Frigidaire".... It no, heretical, to rs. 😉


You may be too young to remember but, Frigidaire was a brand name of a line of refrigerators, much like Nikon is a brand name of cameras. Frigidaire had a plant on the southern edge of Dayton, Ohio and thousands of employees. I remember it well from my youth, having grown up in the Dayton area. Was your grama from Ohio?

If you are a decent person you will immediately turn yourself in to the nearest police station, as you just stole a bunch of great stuff!! How on earth can you sleep at night?

P.S. Can you give us the website for these real estate sales? :-)

Maybe sell them or give them away at a flea market?

Note: If you have Ektachrome or Fujichrome slides older than 10 years, scan or copy them NOW. Kodachrome and Anscochrome are reasonably stable, but the others generally fade in at least one dye layer.

My Ektachromes from the 1980s are quite "gone." My Kodachromes from the 1960s are all intact.


Bill,
Yep... sure do miss Kodachrome 25... that was the best film ever!!

I would put a beer can or soda can next to the item to show its relative size. BTW, that pepper mill is beautiful.... it reminds me of several pieces of Hakone Zaiku I purchased when I was at Lake Hakone in Japan. How much do your pepper mills sell for? Do you also make matching salt grinders?

I don’t believe you have twice the reach of the lens as the focal length of a lens say 50mm is still 50mm. You use just the center of that lens.


Richard's response is incorrect. He probably doesnt own a M43 camera. I do. And I read before I write. A lot.

A M43 lens that is stamped 50mm has a 35 mm format equivalent focal length of 100mm.

So stand in the same spot and take a photo with a 35mm format camera using a 100 mm lens and a M43 format camera with a 50 MM lens, and they will appear the same, EXCEPT for dept of field.

The M43 format camera, using a lens stamped 50mm will have twice the depth of field as a 35mm format camera using a 100mm lens.

Another way to explain this is to imagine yourself taking a portrait of a person sitting 10 feet in front of your cameras: one with a M43 format 42.5mm lens, and the other a 35mm format camera with an 85mm lens. The 35mm format camera will have better bokeh than the M43 camera, because the depth of field is less. Both cameras have a 35mm format equivalent of 85mm, but the M43 has more depth of field.

You can learn much more about this by doing some research: cambridgeincolour.com is a great place to start.

I used to shoot Canon FF, then went to some compact and bridge cameras, but the sensor was too small for my taste. Spent about 50 hours on the internet and at camera stores and took several courses at a Community College and decided on the Panasonic Lumix GX9. This is not a well known model, but it is perfect for me: light, smaller than a FF, body and lenses less expensive compared to a FF, and capable of great photos. Sensor has 25% of the area of a FF, but several times larger than a compact or bridge camera. It is a very good compromise, and good enough for me. Your needs my vary, but for anything up to 11x14" the M43 is good. mu-43.com is a great website to learn more.

I prefer Panasonic lenses and have the following, all listed in their 35mm equivalent focal lengths:

14-28 f4.0 great wide angle zoom, esp. for bldg. interiors and outdoor landscapes
24-70 f2.8 best all around lens, my normal carry lens
30 f1.7 good for night shots on the street and in the city
85 f1.2 stunning capabilities at night and for portraits, but expensive
200-600 f4.0~5.6 OK, but I don't use it much. Bought for an assignment that fell through, and am gonna sell it.

Best macro (and I bought one) is the Olympus 120mm f2.8, but no internal stabilization on this lens. Very capable for macro.

Your will love the M43 system if you are not a working pro; want to go smaller; want to spend less overall; want to go lighter; and/or want an interchangeable lens camera.

The GX9 is available from any of the major stores, like BHPhoto, Adorama, etc.

I’m not familiar with the I and A designations. What do they mean?


Intersexual - inbetween male and female, I think, or maybe both male and female?

Asexual - neither male or female?

Call Canon for suggestions re the card. I don't believe those cameras are designed for repair if it's something more serious; they can confirm. Time for shiny new!


Glad to see you are still with us, Linda!

The GX8 came after the GX7. Both superb in their own way, but the GX8 is very different to the GX7. Then came the GX9 - which IS the upgrade for the GX7. The GX8 is a Maverick and very special - although it shares the swivelling EVF of the GX7 and GX9. A major difference for the GX9 is a new type of magnetic shutter, which removes the possibility of shutter vibration. Of the three cameras, only the GX8 has a fully articulating monitor and weather sealing. The other two having a swivel up and down type. My experience of the GX7 and GX8 is that noise is not a problem with either camera. Therefore I would not expect it to be a problem with the GX9 of which I have no experience.

BUT, the OP is asking about the G9 and not aboit the GX-9....

There is a difference between the GX8 and the GX9, and also between the G8 and G9. I own a GX9 and am very happy with it.

It appears several of the people answering above may be confused about which models are which and what two models you want to compare.

So, please confirm you want info on the G9 and not the GX9.
