Hi,
After a few years inactivity, I guess I'll give digiscoping another try. It's nice to see that many of my friends from back then are still on line.
I quit because the AF-Confirm-Chip was not very effective with my Canon 50D and I had to focus manually most of the time - unfortunately, manual focusing is very difficult for someone wearing progressive glasses. My percentage of keepers was too low to make it worth while.
I will shortly buy a M43 camera, most likely a Olympus OM-D E-M5 or a Panasonic GH3, or maybe a G5.
I figure that live view in the electronic viewfinder, a somewhat smaller sensor and lighter weight will make my life easier.
I know that many of you are using M43 cameras and I would appreciate reading your comments and suggestions.
I also have a specific question: Is focus confirmation possible ? If so, how is it done and is it effective ? I have searched for AF-Confirm-Chips and didn't find any.
Regards
Jules
