Down The Block

Minimal levels, color correction, resized & uncropped with "Absolutely no Sharpening" of any kind.
I'm not sure if it goes 380mm x 1.5 = 570mm x 1.7 = 969mm "OR" 380mm x 3.2 = 1216mm ???

In short: (feel free to email me for more thorough elaboration) If you like the Uzi so much, as I did for close to 5 years.. Then get an Fz... I haven't so much as looked at my Uzi since getting the Fz over a year½ ago & I still have both the Uzi & e100rs, not to mention an 8080 but that gets very little action compared to the Fz. And I do very little post proccessing that never includes noise reduction... The only reason I haven't gotten the Fz 50 is I'm waiting for better EVF's.. Not that the Fz EVF's are bad... They aren't at all & they're better than the Uzi EVF but the incremental upgrade of the 50 from the 30, without a major improvement such as a really good EVF would've been, wasn't enough yet for me to move into a 50.... Once you get a manual zoom ring, it's real tough to go back to the motorized zoom of the Uzi... And the manual focus ring combined with a better EVF beats the Oly MF method by a long shot, when the need for MF infrequently arrises... The pic quality hasn't improved as much as most would've liked but the speed, handling & some feature additions of the Fz's were nearly exactly what I hoped Oly would've eventually brought the Uzi to.. But they're just now getting back into the UZ race after abandoning th Uzi & their latest stabilized UZ isn't holding up its end of the bargain.. Oly bit a little more off than they could chew with the sp550uz & even if it did live up to it's lofty goals... Going back to the motorized zoom & having to deal with lenstube adapters merely to put a filter on it, kills the deal for me... The FZ's are solid barreled beasts similar to the Uzi lens barrel, only with the rings & that needs nothing to bolt on filters or Tcon & Wcons that are 55mm thread-mounts, like the Tcon 17 is... Half the reason I got the Fz was because I needed very few accessories.. I already was using 55mm filters & my B300, the identical to the Tcon 17 predecessor is 55mm.. Although i've since gotten the Wcon 07 W/A adapter & that too is 55mm... You'll be able to rid yourself of the stepring... So much for this being short ;-} None the less, feel free to email me if you have any further questions....
