Lumix G System School of Photography
von Frank SpaethWhat started two years ago with the Lumix G1 has now become a huge worldwide success story: the Lumix G Micro-System is rapidly gaining market share and burgeoning into a serious alternative to the classic SLR camera. With its two new models, G2 and G10, Panasonic has upped the ante once again, in terms of speed, image quality and handling: these modern system cameras offer a perfect blend of compact dimensions and SLR image quality.
Frank Späth, editor-in-chief of PHOTOGRAPHIE magazine and the author of numerous successful camera books, has monitored these technological developments and the market's reactions to them. With the launch of the new models, the author considers the G system to have matured sufficiently for him to present his System School of Photography. This Lumix specialist does not just concentrate on the cameras, but deals with all the Lumix lenses, as well as recommending Four Thirds lenses from Olympus and Panasonic, while suggesting interesting solutions for adapting other lenses. Leica M and Voigtländer Bessa photographers also get their money's worth as they can use their excellent prime lenses on the G2 and G10. In the Lumix G School of Photography they can learn how to get the best possible image quality when combining their lenses with the Lumix cameras. After a detailed explanation of all the important features, menus and settings the Lumix G School of Photography offers specific suggestions and tips in an extensive practical workshop on how to maximise the potential of your Lumix. G1, GH1 and GF1 photographers can also easily use many of the tricks and techniques described in the workshop, and translate them into great pictures.
The uniformly positive reviews of the previous Lumix books by Frank Späth range from „Simply good“ and „Entertaining and interesting“ to „An absolute must!“
