Re: Not enough depth of field control Hi Greg, I presume you're speaking of the MZuiko 45/1.8. Here's an early reaction from a photo blogger I respect. http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2011/09/28/the-olympus-45-1-8-lens-arri... |

Re: Swiss Alps - July 2011 Beautiful--and what a classroom! Thanks for posting these, Trevor. Cheers, Rick |

Re: Emigrant Wilderness: Toejam Lake Hi David, Might be Castle Rock, definitely not Burst Rock, which is the first hill you climb leaving Gianelli Cabin trailhead. Cheers, Rick |

Re: Maps--or GPS. Or... Fun story. Yes, shortcuts that aren't, pavement that was never there, bridges that vanished many winters ago--the dependability of maps is certainly suspect out in the boondocks. As to which... |

Re: The lightest DSLR Hi Jason, I agree on both counts. Sony's lenses are relatively huge, watering down the mirrorless size advantage (although they've done a fine job making the bodies miniscule). And the &... |

Re: The lightest DSLR Hi Miguel, In regards to ยต4/3 and 4/3, they spec the same sensor so there's no inherent IQ advantage between the two systems. Because 4/3 is more mature there are far more lens choices, but... |

Re: The lightest DSLR IIRC the original IS system, which appeared first in the 510, takes up a decent amount of room, explaining the extra thickness and heftier weight. I suppose in addition to the module itself there m... |

Re: The lightest DSLR It's a nice little camera. I have a 510, which is identical save for a bigger battery and IBIS. In sum, it will take very sharp pictures with very good contrast and color saturation (Oly co... |

Re: Need help - Mamoth lakes Hi Yuki, Mammoth is the gateway to a wonderful part of the Sierra. IIRC you can take a shuttle From Mammoth to Red's Meadow and hike in from there, or hike from Devil's Postpile. You can... |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |

MSR Titan Kettle Noting the shape isn't the most efficient for squeezing every btu from the stove, the MSR kettle remains a very good single-pot option. It packs nicely, works well with small to medium stoves, pours w... |

MSR SimmerLite I find the Whisperlite to be MSR's easiest liquid stove to use, and certainly the nicest to lug, bulk and weight-wise. Simmering performance is best with a light touch on the fuel pump--try using l... |

Golite Hex 3 I've used a Hex 2, the 3's somewhat smaller brother, with good success for a few seasons. The quarters are a little snug for six-footers, but it's a minor concern. My main complaint is that the ventil... |
