Indeed, all comments I receive on the site appear with white text against a black background. As you mentioned, the comment box is initially light gray, but upon submitting the comment, the background switches to black with white text. However, the only method I’ve found to alter this is by changing the entire theme.

PS I have a free account also. I just tested it again and it’s only when I’m typing inside that comment box it is definitely light grey. Funny that I’ve never noticed before as my poor eyesight would surely have picked it up if I made a comment on your blog (before).

I decided to answer your reply to see if it was still light grey and while typing in this comment box, it still is.

I wonder if the background turns from grey to black when you press the blue comment button.

They refer to it as “The Rebel,” and it remains a highly capable camera. The challenge lies in the abundance of options available, as everyone’s preferences and needs vary, not to mention their preferred subjects for photography. Determining whether a choice is truly good often only becomes apparent post-purchase, or even after several years. Personally, I’ve switched cameras three times, despite initially believing I’d stick with Pentax DSLRs indefinitely.

Regarding website themes, I do tend to change them periodically, but the current one has been in place for quite some time. Upon reviewing your feedback, I noticed that while the comment box is indeed light gray, but the text within appears in black, and not in white like yours. I’ll reexamine this on another computer today. Unfortunately, with a free account, I lack certain customization options, but I’ll investigate further nevertheless.

Have a pleasant day!

PS I’m talking about the comment box being pale grey, not the body of your blog post.

Can’t remember the model now, but after a lengthy talk with the Camera store salesman who listened intently to my problem of myopia & astigmatism entering into the discussion, he advised me to buy a much cheaper 2009 model EOS500D. I’m so thankful he didn’t try to sell me a more expensive camera to this day and I still use this body with my Sigma 150-500mm lens. It was the lightest body on the market at that time and perfectly fitted my hand. With constant daily lumber spine pain it also acted as an influencer in choosing a very lightweight body.

I might add I bought a fairly thick manual/book for $9.95 on that expensive model and almost straight away, I could see I wouldn’t understand or use the various settings.

So I ended up paying $9.95 for a book instead of $2000+ for a DSLR body.

By the way, I can barely see the white type font of my comment against the pale grey background. Has there been a change in your font colour/background of your WordPress template?

The new 150-600 has been loved over here with the wildlife photogs. I used Sigma since around 2012, and they are great. However…do have a monopod and decent ball head nearby.

Admittedly, the difference between the old OM-1 and the new one is not big – unless for someone like me, who still has the old E-M1 MKIII, so, I’m considering it.

Well, to be honest, I have the Leica 100-400 and also the Oly 100-400, and now I’m strongly considering selling the Oly 100-400 and buying the OM System 150-600mm instead . I will never get rid of the Leica, it remains my favorite lens.

Basically show us they are serious about the company. After all they are a VC company which means a sale down the road. However I can’t help but wonder if there wasn’t just one more ‘thingie’ that could have been included to push their base towards upgrading. Over here the 150-600 is popular so perhaps that will get more people to migrate over to MFT.

Just my thoughts Ted
