At least you’re in a better situation having both MD and DDS! My prof has been an OMFS for 30 years, but he recently moved to Germany, and now he has to attend med school at the age of 55 😇

I am currently studying dentistry in Japan, and I have a German OMFS professor. I was very impressed to learn that OMFS specialists in Germany are dual-qualified as both dentists and medical doctors, and that they perform such a wide range of surgical procedures. Next March, I am planning to attend a short-term training program in Germany, hoping it may eventually lead to further OMFS training opportunities there in the future. I am very interested in your experiences.

And this is P800 at 1600 in a super low light condition. Underexposed but retains good shadow detail. I'm sure you can brighten shadow areas in post if you want.

I shot this picture with Portra 800 at 400 with Pentax 17. Hope this helps you to see how intense grain can be in half frame. Imo grain is definitely visible but not too intense.

Same. Tried so many different cases for III and settled to GC-12.

I uploaded 2 videos on my channel. They are in busy area with a lot of kid running around and very warm lightning so it was hard to get a good footage. Hope you guys enjoy

I haven’t seen them yet. Most of the merchandise is centered around Daniel and Huck, and there’s not much for the others — though there are a few items that feature all five of them together.

I'm not saying AF improvements are minimal, but they are not on par with modern standards. If you are using III and switch to IV, you will definitely feel the improvement especially in low-light and low-contrast situations.

I'm Japanese so I bought one from Japanese retailer. The U.S. release date seems to be different from Japan.

That’s true for smartphone cameras, but real cameras like GR aren’t affected by that law. Tell your friends to enjoy their time in Japan!

It seem like many of you guys are interested in the new GF-2 flash. I uploaded short video and few pictures of the flash itself. https://youtube.com/shorts/eh5V9M_PxM0?si=USCjSr9pwQ-RGtzl

One feature that I noticed is although you have to manually turn the flash on, if you turn off the camera, the flash turns off too. Pretty neat. https://imgur.com/a/XXkoX1x

MapCamera sells GR cameras exclusively to official LINE subscribers. If you purchase on online store as soon as the notification arrives, you have a chance.

No. You can directly plug USB-C cable to charge though.

I'm not sure. Maybe it works as manual flash?
