Live Composite is WONDERFUL! It has brought back my love of night photography!
It does things Fool Frame cannot do!
For low-light action, I haul out a fast legacy lens and/or a speed booster. I
can go from 15/2 to 250/2 — with 35/0.8 in-between. Hand-holdable up to 150/2.
And none of them cost as much as half as much as I'd have to pay for a new
equivalent Canikony Fool Frame lens.
(Speaking of fast glass, KEH just got an OM 180/2 in stock: "BGN" quality for
$5,000! Think I'll hold on that one...)
I think it's a fad. Olympus needs to convince a billion "phone photographers"
that their next step doesn't have to be Fool Frame.

Well, I can't argue with your impressions. I just don't see it.
