Where did anyone say that the U.S. government did it?

I saw it as an inside job, also, through two Presidents Bush and their friends in the defence industry, who were suffering.

I use an Olympus E-5 with the same sensor your E-PL2 has, plus I use a Panasonic GH3, which has the same Sony-made sensor that this E-P5 has.

I’ve shot a lot of indoor basketball photos without flash and the E-5 does a good job at ISO 1600 (as good as film), but the GH3 photos look much better at ISO 3200 than those E-5 photos at ISO 1600. Above that sensitivity, they go from acceptable to really lousy, but then, I’m very critical of image quality and I’m almost always shooting with f/2.0.

I always appreciated the shutter speed collar on my OM-1N.

There are quite a few people with those Voigtländer Nokton f/0.95 lenses, and they recently had a sale on them.

I’m surprised that some of the same people don’t want to use the Four-Thirds lenses that are electronically-connected and can auto focus, but they’ll use the Nokton and other lenses that only have the physical mount.

The EVF actually lets you see things when it’s really sunny vs. the big panel a few inches away where you may be able to make out an image or not.

The Olympus VF-4 is great because it tilts, so you can use the camera from various angles.

Watch an episode or two of “All in the Family” and you’ll be reminded of how it used to be—and how it still can be in states like Kentucky and Indiana.

Even with the higher fuel price, I’m saving compared to the gasoline-powered car I traded—and probably compared to many current cars. Besides, diesel fuel doesn’t seem to fluctuate as much, so I don’t spend much time searching for a lower price.

I won’t make up the extra cost of the diesel package overnight but I don’t see it taking as long as it would for a hybrid, plus I don’t have to drive a Toyota.

VW showed their diesel hybrid and 75 mpg seemed good.

My Golf TDI actually warms as quickly as my previous Golf with petrol/gasoline engine, although it is much slower to cool. I suppose the turbocharger has something to do with it.

I’m waiting to see if the carbon deposits are a problem.

I bought one, and now, I only have one battery to go bad.

The best thing about it is, with the low-sulfur diesel fuel, it’s a 50 states car. I do waste fuel, driving around the filling station looking for the diesel pump.
