Sauciety - The Westin Washington National Harbor
Online Reservations
Our server was amazing! The food was wonderful! The drinks were great (stormy strawberry). My hubby took me there for my birthday 3/23/13. Loved the view. Could use some soft background music though.
"I love the relaxed feel of this place - dark, small and cozy – like a comfortable living room. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The dipping oil for the bread reminded me of my many meals in Italy it was just amazing and the Fried Oyster appetizer was refreshing. I loved that I asked for a well-done steak and that is what I got which in most establishments doesn't happen. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable."
Very good service, great view of the harbor. Noise from the upstairs bar was bothersome, other than that, almost perfect.
Family & I had a great dinner and time at Sauciety. Food & service were excellent. View of the harbor was very scenic. Would definitely recommend Sauciety for special occasions and romantic dinners for two especially at sunset.
Sauciety is a dramatic, modern place with a soaring ceiling, immense windows and a great view of National Harbor. Reservations folks were wonderful. The food was very good--not spectacular; and table service good without being great. In fairness, we had dinner on Mother's Day and the staff had clearly had a busy day. If you want a good meal with a great view--and don't mind paying for it--it's a good choice.
Had a pleasant experience at Sauciety..Food was incredible and view was picturesque. Ate dinner and breakfast during my weekend stay..will definiltely dine in again...
As always, I have never had a bad experience. The menu presents a variety of options to suit evey taste. My guest was most impressed.
Had a magnificent time. Food was great and service even better!!!
I highly recommend the restaurant for any occasion. Our family had a wonderful time celebrating my mother's birthday. Great Job to the staff and chef for the delicious food. We will be back again to dine at your lovely restaurant.
Very nice restaurant in the Westin hotel at National Harbor. Really nice view of the river and we had an excellent table for the fireworks that go off every Saturday evening during the summer. Waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Would have had a higher rating for Ambience but there was a noisy birthday party there at the same time as well as a VERY noisy child at the table next to ours.
When we arrived we were skeptical because there was only one other table of people dining in the restaurant. Fortunately that made the two servers on staff really attentitive. Menu was slightly limited, heavy with fish dishes. My girlfriend got the vegetable Napoleon and said it was amazing. Well seasoned and expertly grilled. I had the grilled samon and it was cooked perfectly , not dry, well seasoned. It was really enjoyable despite the emptyness of the restaurant, and it would have to say it is one of the only "fine dining" establishments outside of the Gaylord convention center in National Harbor.
I had the restaurant to myself on a recent Wednesday evening, which was great for my party (the service was outstanding) but unfortunate for the staff. It was an ugly, rainy night during the shutdown and we were told that more meals was being ordered for room service than at the restaurant. Food was very good; especially the lobster and bacon sliders and Moroccan lamb chops. The wine list had a lot to be desired, however. A small selection of very pedestrian wines. The ambiance is a little cavernous, but probably made more so by the lack of other diners. Definitely recommended for an evening at National Harbor.
I met a friend here for brunch. The hostess was less than enthusiastic when I arrived, but our server was very nice and attentive. The decor is very modern and has grand windows facing the Marina at the National Harbor. It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday brunch. My girl friend got a crab cake and I chose a burger and we had no complaints about our meal. Food was fine, just nothing to brag about.
Enjoyed a good family meal. The steak salad, salmon and pasta with shrimp were well prepared and declicious. The bread pudding is a great dessert. The service was superb. This is a great hotel restaurant. I stay here whenever I am in the Washington, DC area. Great location and great service.
Worth a visit. Excellent views of the harbor as well.
Staying at hotel and local family joined us for brunch. Excellent food with great choices and great kid's menu. Service was professional, friendly and attentive. I had a delicious shrimp and crab omelet that was fantastic. Grandson enjoyed his french toast and remainder of family all had steak salad which was wonderful. Great coffee also. This is one of the better hotel restaurants I have eaten at and because I travel a lot I eat at a lot of hotels.
Food was excellent! We got the 3 course price fixe and the chef was even willing to substitute the main entree for the special catch. Our server was attentive, but would disappear for long periods of time. The restaurant was literally empty - We just couldn't understand why! Restaurant was right on the water with gorgeous views. While the restaurant is called Sauceiety, they don't focus on sauces anymore? Odd. We asked the server about the "Sauces" and if sauces came with our meal... He hesitated and seemed confused, but then brought out 3 dipping sauces, which were tasty. We would return, but suggest the restaurant figure out its identity -- are you serving sauces with meals or are you just called Sauciety for no good reason?
We booked Thanksgiving dinner at the restaurant. . upon arrival everything was set beautifully to perfection and was set to accommodate our large party with plenty of room to spare. . the servers treated is like guests of honor and the food was served in an excellent presentation and was EXCELLENT! In a group of hard to please. . everyone left beyond satisfied! !

The annual month of Ramadan, so much more than mere fasting
On Friday, July 20, the blessed month of Ramadan began�as it does every year, on the first day of the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It was during this month, according to Islam, that Allah revealed the first verses of the holy Qur�an to Muhammad, wandering the desert near Mecca, meditating on his faith.
During Ramadan, Mus�lims fast from sunrise to sunset from all food and liquid�even water�for 30 days. And while for many in the western world on the outside looking in, it is this sacrifice that stands out as the daunting hallmark of Ramadan. But any Muslim will tell you the fasting is simply a means to a more glorious end�a cleansed soul in greater communion with Allah.
�This is a month based on self-discipline and renewal of faith,� said Badry Fyith, a member of the Alkareem Mosque in Lac La Biche and a former board member. Fyith stopped by the Post after taking a jog in the hot afternoon sun�with no chance of quenching his thirst until after sundown, which, especially during a northern Alberta summer, can entail a long wait.
�During your fasting time, you are focused on serving God. It�s about spiritual connection. It�s a time to reflect on yourself, where you�re at, and set some goals for yourself,� Fyith said. �Sure, the first few days are difficult, until you adjust. But it�s not about food�that�s a minimal part of it. Soon, you�re so focused on other things, you don�t even think about it.�
The Arabic word for fasting, �sawm� means, �to refrain,� and this is what Ramadan�one of the five pillars of Islam�is all about. It is essentially being a living example of �see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.� While fasting purifies the body of unwanted physical desires, the practising Muslim spends Ramadan purifying his mind of unkind or ungenerous thoughts, his lips of hurtful or malicious words and his heart of unworthy desires, while at the same time, performing charitable actions.
�It�s a time to become stronger and closer to God,� Fyith said. �To be empathetic of people who don�t have. This community is very, very generous in donations, especially during Ramadan, to the needy all over the world. In the community, a lot of people feed people they know of, or hear of, who are in need.�
A typical day during Ramadan starts before dawn with a pre-fast meal called Suhoor. As many Muslim men and women work eight hours a day or more, they then go through the day without another morsel of food or even a sip of water. Once sundown comes, they come together with family and friends to break their fast with a meal called Iftar.
�It�s a beautiful time,� Fyith said. �The whole family comes together, and we make a prayer. �We fasted for you God, and we thank you for giving us your food.� After the breaking of the fast, we go to the mosque, every day and do a prayer. During the [one hour] prayer, we hear the rationales of why we fast, and the benefits, and about the life of Muhammad.�
While fasting during Ramadan is usually only practised by healthy adults and children who have entered puberty, many younger children are eager to attempt the sacrifice along with their parents and older brothers and sisters.
�For a lot of children, it�s a really exciting time,� Fyith explained. �It�s a challenge. They feel a sense of accomplishment afterwards�I did it!�
When asked if there were any favourite fast-breaking foods for the kids, Fyith chuckled.
�My kids put in orders at the end of the day��Dad, I want BBQ�d chicken� the other one wants perogies, the other wants salmon with salad,� Fyith said, and described how he set about filling the orders. �Me?� he said smiling, �I wanted oatmeal.�
At the end of the 30 days of Ramadan comes the celebration of Eid, when the Muslim community comes together to feast and visit and pray�much like the celebration of Easter after the sacrifices of Lent in the Christian tradition.
�We all have room to grow,� Fyith said of Ramadan. �It�s a time for kindness, generosity and forgiveness. It�s a time to be really kind to yourself, your family and your neighbours, Muslim or non-Muslim.�

Myron B. Pitts
I have an embarrassing confession to make.
But before you laugh at me, and you will, let me ask you a question.
Have you ever walked around with an idea in your head, a vague belief, that you never bothered to dig deeper into? Only to find out later, sometimes years later, that you had been way, way off in your thinking?
OK, so here's mine.
NFL great Deacon Jones died Monday at age 74. He is one of the best-ever defensive players, the man who coined the word "sack" for when a quarterback is tackled for a loss and who was known for slapping offensive linemen on the helmet.
So, as I was reading his obituaries and Internet profile, I looked for mention of his post-NFL career - in which he ran several car dealerships in North Carolina.
Yeah, that's right. I believed that football's Deacon Jones, whose name is on a pre-owned vehicle superstore on Raeford Road, was the same person as the car dealer.
In actuality, car dealer Deacon Jones was a Johnston County native who was in no way related to the NFL great.
In defense of me: If I had ever undertaken to write about either Deacon Jones, like I'm doing now, I would have cleared this up right quick.
But this was the kind of thing I treated as an interesting curio and left it at that. I even invented the idea that the NFL player turned car dealer had played college football at Wake Forest University.
At any rate, David D. "Deacon" Jones - the football player - is a Florida native who played college ball in South Carolina and Mississippi and lived mostly in California. He gave himself the nickname "Deacon" when he joined the Los Angeles Rams and wanted to set himself apart from all the David Joneses in the phone book. He told a newspaper that the religious aspect might help in the violent world of football, and "I thought a name like that would be remembered."
Bobby Kenneth "Deacon" Jones, who owned several dealerships in Wayne, Cumberland and Johnston counties, died in 2010 at age 69 while vacationing in Florida. According to obituaries, his Princeton High School classmates nicknamed him "Deacon" because he was a preacher's kid.
I guess I've always been interested in people who share somewhat unique names, and comparing how their lives turned out. I once found another Myron Pitts, who lives in Atlanta. That's back when I was going back and forth to there and we met for lunch.
He was around my age and sold real estate. I still have his name in my phone's contact list. I wondered how he made out during the economic downturn.
Another writer made a whole book out of a man who shared his name. "The Other Wes Moore" tells of two Wes Moores who grew up without fathers in similar Baltimore neighborhoods but had different lives, with one becoming a Rhodes Scholar and business leader and the other always in trouble.
But the two Deacon Joneses strike me as guys who both did fine with their names, and nicknames, and their lives. They moved in different spheres, but both made their mark.

MRSA is a type of Staphyloccous aureus (staph) bacteria that is not easily killed by typical antibiotics. It is a major cause of skin infections in the United States, affecting about 2 million people.
"Stacy and I have children who attend different schools in Ashtabula County," says Senita. "Through our involvements in school and community activities, we were both hearing about more frequent reports of MSRA cases." At the same time, a tremendous amount of national media attention was being given to the sharp increase of cases of this difficult-to-treat bacteria throughout the United States.
Concerned about this marked increase in infections locally, Senita and Rose approached the Department of Biological Sciences Department's Thierry Delorme and Payman Nasr about creating a focus group to study the MRSA spread in Northeastern Ohio, particularly in Ashtabula County.
Delorme was interested in conducting such a study that so specifically fit his area of interest. "My background is in microbial ecology," says Delorme. "And to be able to conduct research in this field that would support and potentially help the local community was an exciting proposition to me."
Shortly thereafter, Cynthia Callahan, RN, Infection Control Preventionist at Ashtabula Country Medical Center (ACMC), joined the study group, and a formal cooperative agreement between ACMC and Kent State Ashtabula came about.
A retrospective survey was done on all staphylococcal infections diagnosed by Ashtabula County Medical Center from 2005-2007. The findings showed a record increase of 77 percent in MRSA infections from 2006 to 2007, particularly noticeable among youngsters (6 to 25 years), the middle-aged (45 to 50 years) and the elderly (86 to 90 years). The rates in Northeastern Ohio were 20 time higher than those previously published by the Center for Diseases Control in 2007.
"We suspect that the current socioeconomic conditions in Northeast Ohio may have limited the dissemination of the MRSA-related information in the community, especially in schools," said Delorme. "At that time, while many school systems were aware of the potential MRSA problem, few schools were actively controlling the outbreak by providing extensive information to students and parents."
These findings prompted the research team to develop an association with the local school district. An outreach effort was created, which included a "How to Recognize MRSA in School and How to Avoid It" brochure that was distributed to more than 2,500 students. The brochure, developed cooperatively by members of the local school district and Kent State University at Ashtabula, was funded by a small grant from the Division of Research and Graduate Studies. In addition to the development of the brochure, members of the Kent State Ashtabula faculty visited a variety of school settings presenting the information on MRSA.
"Our visits to the schools elicited invitations from other community organizations to present our findings and discuss how to avoid this potentially serious infection," says Rose.
In January 2008, the early findings were used to submit a brief communication to the Ohio Journal of Sciences, titled "Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Among Younger Populations in Northeast Ohio." This paper was presented at the 118th Annual Meeting of the Ohio Academy of Sciences in Springfield, Ohio. Another paper written by the research team, "How to Recognize MRSA Infection in Schools and How to Avoid it – Enhancing Faculty Development Through Collaboration Among Disciplines and Community Resources," was presented at various nursing conference in Columbus, Ohio; New Orleans, La.; and Orlando, Fla. Additional presentations and publications have been disseminated over the past few years.
The statistical analysis of local data continues. In 2008, a Research and Grad grant of $6,500 was awarded to Dr. Delorme for a genetic study of the current MRSA explosion in Northeastern Ohio. "The purpose of the genetic study is to determine how strains of the MRSA bacteria are evolving," states Delorme.
MRSA was previously known for being an infection found only in sick people in hospitals, but what started as a "hospital-acquired" infection has now become a "community-acquired" infection. "Our initial findings show that 70 percent of the cases are from people who got the infection at school or work – the community outside of the hospital," Delorme continues. "I'm looking at data from 2005-2010 to determine whether its prevalence continues to increase or if the problem is being controlled."

Remembrance Sunday - Documentary Shoot
Date: 10th November 13
Location: London, St James Park
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Cost: Free
Type: Other
Group: Documentary and Visual Journalism
Region: London
Remembrance Sunday Documentary Shoot.
Following the great success of the Remembrance Day Shoot last year, we have decided to meet again this year – London in St James's Park.
Although this is a solemn occasion, after the service at the Cenotaph, there are plenty of opportunities to get some lively, interesting captures and you will find that most people are willing to be photographed.
The shoot will be on the fringe of the main Cenotaph event, but there are still many opportunities to photograph the troops, the bands and even royalty, along Horse Guards Road, on their way to Whitehall.
Please email us to register your interest
Rendezvous points and times will be advised in confirmation emails.
These events are free for DVJ members and £5 for non-DVJ members.

If you're an employer who is about to see one of your best staff members retire, you should know that it can be difficult to watch him or her leave - especially if the individual has been with the company for an extended period of time. However, there are a couple of retirement gifts you can take into consideration to show your gratitude for all of your employee's hard work. Presents can range from watches to personalized pens, but you might want to think outside of the box in order to find a creative present that shows your true appreciation.
A Commemorative Plaque or Trophy
If the staff member who's retiring has been with the company for years, show your gratitude with a personalized plaque to honor his or her work with the business. This may include a picture of the employee at the office or a certificate with the person's name and position. In addition to signing it yourself, you might want to have other colleagues do the same as a token of their personal appreciation.
A Parting Gift Basket
As a going-away gift, many businesses give their retiring employees a basket full of treats and goodies that they can use once they're relaxing and unwinding. If you want to add a personal touch, think about including a picture frame or two with photos of colleagues from the office that act as keepsakes. You may even want to talk to your staff to see if they have any other business gifts to contribute to the basket.
A Gift Card
When all else fails, you might want to think about keeping it simple with a gift card. This is an especially good idea if the employee retiring has been with the company for a shorter period of time, or if you're unfamiliar with his or her personal tastes.
To add a personal touch, include a card with the gift certificate that expresses your gratitude for the individual's time with the business. Also, consider spending a little extra to give the recipient something he or she can use more than once. Whether you're purchasing your present at a retail store or a popular restaurant, the recipient is bound to appreciate the gesture.

- All jinn must have the same orders
- Each jinn must move with each tick
- Each jinn must have a genuine choice of at least two directions to move. If another jinn chooses a point it is not a genuine choice as they can't both be there.
What's the largest density of jinn achievable, and what initial configuration/ set of orders achieves it?
Best possible number:
An optimal solution:
Alternate version: Negative choice
Same basic set-up with different restrictions on the orders you can give the jinn.
- All jinn must have the same orders
- The jinn may potentially stand still
- Each jinn can refuse one direction to move in xor refuse to stay still.
I don't have an optimum solution to this (or know the optimum density). The best result I calculated:

OK, here's a nit-picked, pixel-peepering criticism. Click on each chest-upwards portrait twice to enlarge to fullest size, peeping size. Look at the edges of the 3 white stripes on his jacket's left shoulder. The Leica's show obvious purplish chromatic aberration while the Panny's is basically zilch. Now do the same for the small metal piece at the top end of the left-side zipper. The Leica's is blurry (out of the f1.4 focus field maybe) but very chromatically aberrated. The Panny's is clean. Of course this is wide open but it nonetheless says something about the lens quality in the much-valued wide open mode. Also the skin fissures in his lips are more clearly defined or resolved by the Panny though the Leica's is still very, very good. Peeper's verdict: The Panny wins value wise and has enough resolution to still be considerably cropped and yet retain very good detail. Differences in hues can be altered pp so this is a moot point. Your mileage/kilometrage may vary.

Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm F1.4 sample gallery
Just Posted: Our samples gallery from the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm F1.4 ASPH. We've had the chance to borrow a production example of this fast 50mm-equivalent lens and have prepared a samples gallery to show some of what it can do. We've also shot a couple of comparisons against the popular Lumix G 20mm F1.7 ASPH to see how the two lenses compare when used wide open, and give some idea of what the slightly longer focal length and wider aperture mean in terms of background defocus and subject isolation. Updated with additional comparison shots.
Jump to:
There are 24 images in the samples gallery. Please do not reproduce any of these images on a website or any newsletter / magazine without prior permission (see our copyright page). We make the originals available for private users to download to their own machines for personal examination or printing (in conjunction with this review), we do so in good faith, please don't abuse it.
Unless otherwise noted images processed using Adobe Camera Raw at default settings. Because our review images are now hosted on the 'galleries' section of dpreview.com, you can enjoy all of the new galleries functionality when browsing these samples

Compared to the Panasonic Lumix G 20mm F1.7 ASPH
In addition to our gallery shots we've also shot a couple of (very) quick comparisons with Panasonic's popular and highly-regarded 20mm F1.7 pancake prime - one of our favourite lenses of the past few years. We've shot the same image with both lenses set to their maximum aperture, using the Panasonic DMC-G3 at ISO 160. In both instances we've attempted to recreate approximately the same framing - meaning the 20mm shots were taken closer to the subject.

We also shot two scenes from the same position, to show the effect of the Leica's longer focal length. In addition, we shot one of these scenes with the Leica 25mm set to F1.8 to see how it performs against the 20 F1.7 at comparable apertures.

Both of these lenses aren't very good at all. They are both excellent. The hue differences can be altered in post processing. Pixel peepers can split pixels comparing-contrasting them but imagers would be pleased with both/either.
PS-- can we see a comparison against the old Summilux-D? (I have one, am in Portland if your Seattle guys want to come to my shop (Shutterbug) and do some testing :D
I already have the 25mm 1.4 Summilux-D (regular Four Thirds version). It is absolutely phenomenal. All of you who blather on about "crop" -- you are full of crap. This lens is full-frame relative to the 4/3" sensor... No cropping is occuring. Quit using 2004-era terminology. I expect this new Summilux will even outperform the old one, and you get two stops better depth of field at equivalent angle-of-view compared to the dinosaurs. Plus, on any PEN it's *stabilized*... can't do that on a Brontosaurus.
Okay, this lens is good, but BIG. I want this for m4/3:
This is an 50mm eqv pencake. If it had f2.0 that would be the ultimate lens for me.
Having used 50mm lenses, including a 50mm f1.4, for many years, the PanaLeica is just what I was after. Being able to shoot at f1.4 is useful and will enable selection of a lower ISO value, but isn't compulsory. Provided this lens gives the excellent performance I would expect of it at around f2.8, it should make a nice complement to the m-zuiko 9-18mm I already have.
I don't see why anybody would want to photograph out in the street and obtain minimal depth of field. Anybody who has the opportunity should visit the exhibition of street photography at the Museum of London, in which you generally see that the photos all have a high depth of field. If you are really interested in portraiture then the 45mm Olympus will provide a better option.
Overall though, I am pleased that there is now a reasonable range of fixed focal length lenses for MFT, with rumours of more in the pipeline.
German manufacturers sell high-quality goods at exorbitant prices. They have captured 90% luxury car market (yes, they not only own Benz, Audi and Porsche but Rols and Bentley). As long as we perceive that German products have cachet and quality... they will keep selling us products at twice their actual value. I would buy the Panasonic 20mm f1.7... it is just as good and costs "a lot" less, but then again, some of you feel better with the Leitz Wetzlar brand around your neck.
f1.4 is kinda of a big deal since we are already losing a lot of DOF on 2x crop. Now we have 50mm f2.8 DOF vs 40mm f3.4. It will be noticeable for subject isolation, but likely not worth upgrading if you already have the Panasonic.,
Wide open both are vg to excellent, the Leica a bit sharper in the middle, the Panny sharper in the corners. The Leica's bokeh is a bit busier, lless smooth. Stop down to f4~5.6 the sweet spot & I doubt one could tell any difference. The Leica portrait hues are more saturated. We don't really know the true, in-person colors. It's preference here. You can pump up the Panny's or scale back the Leica's in post-processing. It's not the Panny's fault the subject's face is distorted; it's the photographer's for using a (semi-)wide angle lens not meant for tight portraiture. Back up & that is moot, then crop to tighten. Panny's advantage more in the image while the Leica's "normal" view is impossible to do unless one moves back. Again, preference. I'd take either if someone gave one/both but if I have to buy I'd go for the Panny since money is an issue. We can split IQ hairs all day but in the end, either/both will deliver IQ better than most of us are capable of.
Anyway, IMHO in this case someone should choose rather based on FOV, taste of image (color, contrast), size, AF or price issues, not on DOF control - simply because the difference in this dimension is almost non-existant. This Leica 25mm seems to be a good performer, however, not a real portrait lens (and I don't think it has been intended to be). You can take environmental portrait with the 20mm too, and take a little closer with 25mm, but I suppose (maybe I'm wrong) you can't take head portrait with the 25mm either due to perspective distorsion (at least 45mm needed).
And one more thing with DOF: don't be disappointed because the new oly is 1.8 and not 1.4. It seems almost the same DOF. But in terms of shutter speed (and therefore ISO settings) it does matter.
My guess is that at 45mm or 50mm, Panasonic/Leica felt they would have to put in OIS, adding another couple hundred dollars. Also, they would ave their own 45mm and Oly's 50mm m43 offerings to compete against.
So, probably a rational choice for them, but ... Maybe to have pushed it a bit to 35mm? Ah well, things are what they are.
This DOF comparsion (if it is intended to be) is simply a lie. To get the same framing with the 25mm you should step back a little (or more, depending on the subject distance). But if you do this, the DOF changes because the subject distance changes.
With the same framing the DOF difference will be noticable, but quite small despite the slightly wider aperture and the slightly longer focal length.
I understand the intention of Dpreview to show the difference in field of view, but they should have been so ambitious to make a correct comparsion in terms of DOF.
Dpreview, please take some photos with the same framing, with short subject distance to see the _real_ difference in DOF. Thanks :)
I found a test with the correct comparsion of DOF. With the same framing the DOF is _almost the same_. For anyone who wants to replace his 20mm because of shallower DOF: DON'T! You will get nothing.
The real difference: different FOV, 25mm is a slightly faster lens (0.5 EV), has faster and quiet AF, is better for closer portrait, but 20mm is smaller, and cheaper.
25mm has better contrast - deeper and richer colors. The 20mm looks a little washed out in comparison. The shallower depth of field is cool, but is this enough difference for me to get it?
The 25mm will be a bit better for portraits, the 20mm for scenery. If you have a preference there, that could and should heavily influence a decision. I like both.
The 25 has a coating to help keep the glare down, and so contrast up, easily seen in the outside photos. A lens hood would help with that too, however.
The difference between 20mm and 25mm, coupled with the wider aperture necessitates more/wider glass in the 25mm. That and the coating makes for a more expensive lens.
In comparison with the other Pana-Leica lenses, this one is the least expensive yet. I think they're learning - not so 'telephoto' so as to require in-lens OIS to keep the cost down.
Interesting images. Looking at the chair picture, I like the color saturation of the Leica better. However, I find the bokeh of the Panasonic a bit less complex than the Leica (looking at the structure of the pencil-point bright reflections on the background light and table edges and the right-wall picture frame).
The portrait reveals the focal length difference in the face distortion, but I get just the opposite bokeh-readings. I find the bokeh-detail in the tiny blossoms at the right of the subjects head to be more pleasing on the Leica. I do see more color contrast in the Leica image (e.g. orange shirt vrs shadow skin tones)
Thanks for the update to add the comparison shots with the same framing. Not to be too demanding, but could we see the wall shot from the 25/1.4 at f/1.8 in addition to wide open? That would provide the most direct comparison between them.
Yes I'd like to see that as well. Some say the corners of the 25/1.4's wall shot aren't as sharp as the shot with the 20/1.7 but I'm thinking that it's just the difference in DOF causing this.
If the wall is normal to the field (or: parallel the lens, and it is I suppose) then every brick or none of them should be in focus or out of focus - at least at this subject distance. Just my 2 cents.
I like the results, the 25mm 1.4 have deep colors, good contrast, they look very natural, the 20mm is close and it is smaller and cheaper
I found the deep of color from the 25mm similar to the 45mm macro
The good is that Panasonic have all lenses in a very good level of IQ
I seem to be agreeing with most of these observations. I have been pixel peeping for hours trying to decide which lens might best suit my needs. IMHO if your usage will consist mostly of portraiture the 25mm is clearly the better choice. If you lean mostly toward shoot from the hip style street stuff the 20mm would be an excellent choice. And then of course there are the differences in size and price to be considered.
The times are getting very interesting for those of us who are interested in MFT cameras. I can't wait to see what new delights Oly reveals on June 30th. Oh, how I love more choices.
I want to thank DPR for the excellent real world comparison of these 2 fine lenses. Keep up the great work.
The 25 looks quite a bit better for closer people shots if you want normal looking faces. Would be nice to have both, of course. Looks like some m43 users are going to be carrying around a 12 f2, a 20 1.7, a 25 1.4 and a 45 1.8 if the rumors are right. Those blazer pockets are going to be a little bulky. : )
Too expensive and not enough focal/iq difference to add it to my gear which already includes the 20/1.7. For a non-pro it seems that I will have more fun buying an adapter to use my old Canon FD 50 1.4. If I would not have the 20/1.7 I would be hesitating, but finally would go for the 20/1.7 because of size. If that was not important to me, why should I have bought a m4/3?
I have to warn you that older lenses (with a different mount system) sometimes don't give the full amount of light on newer bodies. For example I bought an OM 50mm 1.4 lens but only gives me around a half stop more light in comparison with my nikon E 50mm 1.8 lens on a E520 (four thirds).
Maybe that's because f1.4 is only half a stop faster than an f1.8. F2 to 1.4 is a full stop.
Both lenses have produced very good to excellent image quality, IMHO. The deciding factor for many will probably be price and size.
Not dramatically different IMO. A bit harsher with some lighting in exchange for a shallow DOF improvement.
Looking at the two chair photos, The 25/1.4 has a smoother looking OOF background in the back of the room and the overall contrast/color is a little better. I see deeper colors with better contrast and saturation in the other shots as well. Taken with the same camera and presumably with the same settings and processing with ACR, this clearly shows better optics.
The 20/1.7 is still a tremendous value at $400 vs $600 but I'm thinking that the 25/1.4 might be my next lens purchase. I've pre-ordered it at Adorama but may cancel if the upcoming reviews find any major faults in it.
Does shrinking the body always have to come bundled with higher prices for accessories and lenses? This to me in the biggest turn off to smaller bodies with interchangeable lenses. At the end of the day, the incentive to give up my bigger DSLR is dampened by prohibitive cost, limited availability and image quality that is still not in the same league as a "full-bodied" DSLR.
I don't think so.
I bought the E-PL2, 14-42mm, 40-150mm and 20/1.7 for less than $1100 + tax and all where new from online/local stores. My dad spent more for a T2i 2 lens kit and 50/1.8.
I have a small Lowepro bag that fits all of that plus other accessories. My tripods (with ballhead) are the smaller kinds too. These smaller accessories are cheaper. The bigger DSLR bags and tripods are more expensive and are obviously bulkier.
True that PanaLeica 25/1.4 is not cheap especially that it is equivalent to a normal lens (50/1.4) and normal lens are cheap on FF bodies. Then again, the 25/1.4 is still technically a fast wide, and fast wides are expensive (e.g. the Canon 24/1.4 on FF is $1700). Also, the Canon 50/1.4 is $400 requires the 5Dmk2 $2500 body; this combo is way more expensive than Pany G3 + 25/1.4 but both have the same FL and max aperture. Don't forget that the 50/1.4 FF are all old design, so less R&D and lower price.
What I see is:
Leica 25 mm @f1.4 is softer than Pana 20 mm @f1.7.
Leica 25 mm @f1.4 has a more shallow DOF than Pana 20 mm @f1.7.
Leica 25 mm @f1.8 has similar Bokeh as DOF than Pana 20 mm @f1.7. (both are a bit harsh with the busy highlights in the trees).
The Leica 25 mm isnt a groundbreakingly better lens than Panas 20 mm.
The differences are what one must expect given the differences in aperture and focal length.No surprises really.
What you do get is the brighter aperture which you can use to isolate the subject, or to shoot in low light situations.
Where did you see that? I've seen it quoted at around GBP 550.
Thanks for the update. The comparison I'd like to see is same aperture and same dimensional FOV, i.e. step closer with the 20mm to get the same area in both shots. The brick wall would do nicely for that.
I'd have the same wish - to go a step closer with the 20 mm for identical areas covered. Could also be the chairs in the very last comparison. Should be exactly same area. Anyway interesting shots, thanks.

Oxford hitman Constable set to miss Cheltenham test
9:00am Saturday 14th September 2013 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Oxford United are likely to be without James Constable for their Sky Bet League Two clash at Cheltenham today.
Boss Chris Wilder admitted there were fitness concerns over a few of his players, but the club's five-time leading scorer is the biggest doubt.
The striker is unlikely to make the trip, although the U's are still waiting for clarification on a foot injury picked up last weekend.
Wilder said: "There are doubts on one or two, but it's up to those who put a shirt on to go out and work hard to try and get us another result.
"There has been a bit of confusion regarding the scan, but he (Constable) has not trained all week so has got to be a major doubt for us."
United will make at least one change to their squad, with loan signing Shwan Jalal coming in for injured goalkeeper Max Crocombe (shoulder).
There is a nine-point gap after just six games between the in-form U's and today's hosts, who are still waiting for a first home win.
By contrast, United are unbeaten and have won all three games on the road.
But Wilder warned it would be a huge mistake to underestimate the Robins.
He said: "Cheltenham have done extremely well over the last two or three seasons and have just not got off to the start that they wanted.
"They are really dangerous opponents, there will be nothing in this game and I expect this to be our toughest test."
Cheltenham add defender James Wilson to their squad after signing him on loan from Bristol City yesterday.
Veteran striker Jamie Cureton was due to return from injury for Cheltenham, but a calf problem means he is unlikely to make it.
Defenders Troy Brown (hamstring) and Craig Braham-Barrett (ankle) are definitely ruled out, but on-loan Crystal Palace centre back Ryan Inniss is expected to return after a calf problem.
Cheltenham Tn: from Brown, Jombati, Elliott, Lowe, Richards, McGlashan, Noble, Penn, Deering, Gillespie, Gornell, Inniss, Kotwica, Harrison, Taylor, Vincent, Rivers, Wilson, Cureton.
Oxford Utd: from Clarke, Hunt, Mullins, Wright, Newey, Potter, Whing, Rose, Hall, Kitson, Smalley, Constable, Marsh, O'Dowda, Williams, Ruffels, Davies, Raynes, Jalal.

Stock Quotes
telling your family you're going to a Christian rehab program can be difficult
Hollywood 4/02/2012 06:49 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Christian Substance Abuse Treatment Centers Identify Depression As A Cause Of Addiction
Christian Drug Rehab Experts Discuss Effects of Crack Cocaine
Christian Drug Rehab Pastors Educated by Drug Addicted Patients
Admitting you have an addiction to drugs or alcohol is unimaginably difficult, but having the discussion with your family is perhaps even more difficult. Many addicts wonder how they will tell their family that they need to go to a Christian rehab program. Every addict approaches the subject differently, and family members will respond in different ways, but it is a conversation that is critical to have. Christian rehab provides the best opportunity for achieving a lasting recovery from addiction.
The most important fact to remember is that addiction is a disease. Thankfully, it is a disease that responds well to intensive and comprehensive treatment, and Christian rehab helps addicts every day reach their goal of a life filled with health and hope for the future. Christian rehab offers addicts the chance to strengthen their faith and develop a meaningful relationship with God. Every family wants the best for their loved ones, and Christian rehab is a positive step in the right direction.
Having this conversation with your family will indeed be tough. There will inevitably be tears shed, but when your family and friends understand that choosing to go to a Christian rehab is your only chance for a fresh start, they will undoubtedly support you every step of the way. While recovery from an addiction is in your hands, knowing that you have the love and encouragement of the people who care most about you will propel you into the future that you richly deserve.
Faith is a powerful catalyst for positive change, and Christian rehab brings out the potential of every addict. While addiction is a disease that has destroyed many lives, Christian rehab programs offer addicts the chance to put the power back in their lives through faith.

Featured Title: Treating the Brain: What the Best Doctors Know by Walter G. Bradley
Available November 15, 2009
"…Coming from the mental health field, I found this book delightfully readable, and a resource no brain fan could be without. It's like reading a selection of fascinating short stories that all relate to the true final frontier, the human brain. What could be more intriguing? Hats off to Dana Press and Dr. Walter G. Bradley for bringing this timely book to neurologists and wannabe neurologists everywhere. Great stuff!"
— Michael A Labbe, Silver Spring, MD
"Walter G. Bradley offers sound educational primer addressing many key concerns families face with brain related illnesses. Written out of a wealth of experience, doctor Bradley provides illustrations that help the reader understand the emotional side of those struggling with illnesses such as Alzheimer's, stroke, and brain cancer. Bradley offers enough technical language to assist readers when they engage medical staff, yet places key clinical terminology within a larger narrative of human experience. Serving as a survey of brain illness and treatment, families, caregivers, and communities may use this book as a friendly review for a particular concern or need."
—Dean G. Blevins, Kansas City, MO
"On the opening page of Dr. Bradley's enlightening book, Treating the Brain: What the Best Doctors Know, he states, "treatment by a neurologist may come into your life or the life of someone you care about, and that's what this book is about." While no one in my immediate family or circle of friends have faced the situations presented in the book's 12 chapters, the fascinating information and interesting personal stories compelled me to read the book from cover to cover in less than a month. Weaving the stories of his fifty years of personal experience as a neurologist with patients into easy to read examples of a wide variety of brain malfunctions helps make Bradley's book accessible to anyone with an interest in the workings or dysfunctions of our brains. Some stories were sad, others joyful, but all of them were hopeful and visionary with respect to new treatments on the horizon.
Which diseases may be inherited and which typically are not? What problems may be brought on by outside toxins? From amazing new treatments for Parkinson's disease to the differentiation of the many kinds of migraines, Bradley's book has something for everyone. Additional chapters address spinal cord injuries, Lou Gehrig's disease, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, stroke, cancer, epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis and more. The historical references are particularly interesting and his sensitive bedside manner should even inform fellow neuroscientists.
As an educator, I have suspected for at least a decade that the answers we seek to better learn how brains learn would come from the neurosciences. Understanding how a healthy brain operates most efficiently is a good start, but what happens when normal processes aren't quite right? In addition to the wider audience of folks whose lives are directly affected by the many brain issues Bradley addresses, his book contributes to a deeper understanding of what can go wrong in the brain and be observed in behavior or through scanning. Treating the Brain: What the Best Doctors Know can help to bridge the communication gap between medical schools and colleges of education and may someday contribute to bridging the learning gap in our schools. Thank you, Dr. Bradley, for this important work. I look forward to the day when books like this become standard in the curriculum of our future educators and educational leaders."

"My interest in this book stems from several different perspectives. As the holder of a PhD in physiological psychology, I am interested in being able to have descriptions of the brain in layman's terms at my finger tips. I am just finishing my respecialization training in clinical psychology and expect to be working with patients with disabilities, some of which are mentioned in the descriptive blurb about the book. Finally, on a personal level I have an X-linked disorder, which I have passed to my son, causing us both to have peripheral neuropathy. While I understand a bit more about it than an average reader, I struggle to find the right way to discuss it with my son. For all these reasons, I anticipate the enjoyment I will get as I devour this book. I look forward to adding it to my collection."

Now that I am using the GTD addin with Outlook I am more tied to Outlook now. At present I'm using am old Palm Centro to sync with it but am looking forward to an upgrade in around six months.
I don't need to have actions by project on the smart phone as I don't have the linked actions to project for home projects anyway (and at work I'm usually in the office in front of the computer). I just want a smartphone app that syncs with Outlook Tasks (and Calender) in the basic way.
What are people using for this?

This an excellent camera with a very complete kit. While some of the included items are of limited utility, the extra lenses and filters are very good and saved a considerable amount as I would have ended up buying them separately. The gadget bag is really nice quality also. I have had the camera for a little over a month and am still discovering many of its features, but I am very impressed with the results. While others have complained that it is too light, I find this to be a benefit. It weighs considerably less than my old SLR camera's body without lens attached and yet it still feels solid.
I have not been this excited about a camera since my Canon AE1, I am having a blast learning about all the things it can do. Photos are fantastic.
This is an excellent buy, there is everything you need to start taking top quality digital pictures. Everything you need to take with you fits easily into the camera bag provided. Highly recommend.
I love this camera. I had a Rebel back when Andre Agassi was promoting them...geez I am old! I had been waiting for the right time to buy another and this was it. The camera takes incredible shots and is pretty easy to use right out of the box. Not all the gear included is made by Canon, but it interfaces perfectly. The only problem is the camera bag is too small to fit all the items you get with this package.

The Moon may be the brightest object in the night sky, but tonight it follows a few other luminaries like the caboose of a train. The lineup chugs across the western sky during the evening, and sets after midnight.
As darkness falls, and the Technicolor of twilight gives way to the monochrome of night, look for the Moon high in the southwest.
The Moon will be at first quarter early tomorrow, so sunlight illuminates half of the lunar hemisphere that faces our way. Over the next few days, the bright portion will grow fatter and fatter, until the Moon is full on the 18th. At the same time, the Moon will move steadily eastward against the background of stars and planets, leaving tonight's companions far behind.
Look to the right and lower right of the Moon for the other cars in this celestial train. The one that's closest to the Moon is the planet Saturn. It looks like a bright star. The true star Regulus is just a little away from Saturn. It's the "heart" of Leo, the lion.
Then follow the line from the Moon to Regulus farther to the lower right until you come to Mars.
The differences between Saturn, Regulus, and Mars are subtle, but if you look closely you may pick them out. Saturn has a slightly golden color, Regulus is almost pure white, and Mars is orange. And Saturn is roughly twice as bright as the other two.
All three precede the Moon as it travels down the sky -- bringing up the rear of a celestial train.

Aircraft That Changed the World
We fearlessly (or foolishly) pick 10.
- By The Editors
- Air & Space magazine, July 2008
World changers. It's almost easier to explain what we don't mean by that phrase than to define what we do. We have not compiled a list of trailblazers, like the de Havilland Comet, the world's first jetliner. Nor is this a list of airplanes that represent the greatest advances of aeronautics, such as the experimental aircraft that led to supersonic flight. Rather, we looked for craft that had an impact beyond the realm of things that fly, that reached into the larger culture and touched even those who aren't frequent fliers or connected to aviation.
Some of our choices are individual airplanes that happened to play a critical role in a world-changing event; others are aircraft types that were so significant in commerce or in war that we could truly say of them: "These changed history."
We were inspired by the recent book 50 Aircraft That Changed the World, and we could see immediately that authors Ron Dick and Dan Patterson had followed a wiser course: They had picked 50. We could accommodate only 10. We ended up with a list that includes some of those in the book, plus a few of our own.
The most heated debate that broke out in the course of making our selection was also the most revealing; it showed how stringent our standards were—and how subjective. It was over The Spirit of St. Louis. Some editors argued that of course we had to include the airplane flown on the first solo, nonstop trip across the Atlantic Ocean—a trip that made its pilot an international celebrity and inspired a generation to fly long distances, or at least dream about it. Months after the 1927 event, when Charles Lindbergh flew the airplane, a purpose-built Ryan, on a tour across the United States to promote aeronautics, an estimated 50 million people—42 percent of the nation—turned out to see it.
But was it the airplane that people found so inspiring, or the pilot? It's hard to imagine that journey being completed by anyone other than Lindbergh, but not so difficult to think that he could have done it in another type of airplane. In fact, he had considered an alternative, the Wright Bellanca WB 2.
We're sure there are readers (more than a few in St. Louis and in San Diego, where The Spirit was built) who will disagree with that reasoning, or with other choices we made. In the end, selecting 10 aircraft from so many possibilities simply became a good excuse to do one of our favorite things: talk about airplanes. We bet you'll want to join the discussion.
—The Editors
1. Wright 1905
We knew we wanted to start with a Wright airplane, but which most deserved the title of world changer? Wright biographer Tom Crouch, a National Air and Space Museum curator of early flight, nominated the brothers' third powered aircraft. "The 1905 was the world's first practical airplane," he observes.
"The best of the four flights made by the 1903 aircraft at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, was only 852 feet in 59 seconds," Crouch continues. "With that marginal success in hand, the Wrights decided to transfer flight operations to Huffman Prairie, eight miles east of their hometown, Dayton, Ohio. They built and tested two aircraft there, one during 1904 and another in 1905.
"Over the course of those two seasons, the Wrights fine-tuned their design, stretching the aircraft to improve stability and control, enlarging the control surfaces, and improving the propellers. (The same engine, a virtual replica of the one that powered the 1903 aircraft, powered both the 1904 and 1905 models.) On October 5, 1905, Wilbur Wright flew a distance of 24.5 miles in 59 minutes, 23.8 seconds. The brothers had finally achieved their original dream: developing a practical airplane capable of remaining aloft for a significant time and maneuvering under the full control of the pilot.
Comments (45)
How could anyone compile a list like this, and not include the aircraft that:
revolutionised passenger air travel (made it profitable, long range and safe),
was licensed and copied all over the world
made one of the greatest contributions to the second world war of any piece of equipment,
was the backbone of post WW2 air travel and freight haul, and
was even operational in the Vietnam war?
The DC3/C47 surely should be top of the list
Posted by Jim Trewin on May 11,2008 | 11:03 PM
A previous commenter speaks about the DC3, which I support. They are still used in some parts of the world. I think that the Ford Tri Motor which launched passenger service in the 1920's and the Pan-Am Clippers that established some of the first world-wide service should also have been considered.
Posted by Rick Eckhart on May 14,2008 | 12:54 PM
I applaud the A&S editors for having the guts (or lunacy?) to pick a "Top Ten" out of so many worthy aircraft. The process is as thankless as attempting to single out a favorite child from a large family. Some will bristle and defend while others cheer. The comments posted around this article may prove more interesting than the article itself! I can't wait to read on...
Posted by Karen Escalona on May 17,2008 | 01:25 PM
Regarding the Boeing 747 in the ten aircraft that changed the world, the statement that "96 carriers around the world have used the wide bodies to fly 3.5 million people to their destinations." The figure 3.5 million seems a bit low, perhaps by a factor of several thousand. This is an inaccurate bit of information to find in a publication that specializes in aviation. In more of a nit than a challenge of statistics, the nice little story on restoring the Arrow Sport, Mr. Rhode is noted as having accumulated 35,000 hours with National and Pan American airlines. Technically correct but I would think that to maintain accuracy, the editor would have given each airline its proper corporate name which was National Airlines and Pan American World Airways.
Posted by Walt Coleman on May 19,2008 | 08:26 PM
There are several planes missing from this list, most notably Rutan's plane which rocketed into space.
Posted by Luke Buhrman on May 29,2008 | 01:51 PM
I agree with the previous posters, the DC-3/C-47 should DEFINITELY be included, as I believe it was the MOST influential aircraft ever built.
One could also include the DeHavilland Comet for ushering in the age of jet airliners. Even more than that, the Comet's failure changed the way we design aircraft, with respect to metal fatigue. The Comet experience is reflected in every single aircraft designed since.
Another could be the Piper J-3 Cub, for revolutionizing general aviation. Just like today there are few pilots who have never flown a Cessna 172 or 150, for years there were very few pilots who had never flown a Cub.
Posted by Alex Rudy on May 29,2008 | 06:30 PM
Okay - what astonishes me is that there are no pictures of the airplanes on this story!!
I know, I know, all I have to do is google the airplane name for a picture - but here you've got this cool site - and there are all those ads there all over the place, so don't tell me it's a band-width issue or something.
Posted by David M Bowman on June 7,2008 | 12:54 AM
After I read this story I knew I had to post a comment. When I opened the article on line I found that first two comments had already voiced shock that the DC-3/C47 was omitted. This plane first flew for American Airlines in the mid 1930's and a few are still WORKING today; not just flying as restored antiques, but working. This plane truly led the transition into the modern era of flight.
While any top 10 list will bring questions about items left off, I wondered if omission of the DC-3 and Piper Cub, a plane that was the leader of post WWII private aviation, was an effort to spark a reaction from your readers. All 10 of your planes have made significant contributions to aviation and world history, but I would only rank the Wright brothers invention above the DC-3 and Piper Cub.
Posted by Richard Beltle on June 8,2008 | 09:01 PM
I would have to include the Canadian Avro Arrow as a quantum leap in fighter technology. Unfortunately scuttled by politics. Many of the engineers ended up in California working on advanced US fighters.
Posted by Malcolm Barnes on June 11,2008 | 05:43 PM
Let me be the millionth person to notice the omission of the DC-3/C-47, which may be the single most significant aircraft of all time. I just flew out of Long Beach (LGB) & viewed 2 separate (and beautiful) examples on the tarmac. Other candidates: The 707 & the Vickers Viscount seemed to have had greater impact than the Boeing 747 or 314. The B-47 set the layout for many aircraft to come. The Me 262, while suffering many problems, was possibly the greatest leap forward in operational combat aircraft technology in wartime. The Mirage III/5 series, Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, and the English Electric Canberra (and B-57 version) were simply the world's best combat aircraft for many years. The B-52 may serve as a front-line combat aircraft longer than any other flying machine, unless the Russians keep flying the Tupolev Tu-95. The C-130 will probably be carrying stuff long after the last B-52 and Tu-95 are grounded.
Posted by Doug Peterson on June 11,2008 | 11:34 PM
I dare to say the B-747 is not so significant. Rather choose the B-737, if you look at the future, the B-787 is closer to the 737 or the 767, rather then the Jumbo Jet. Four engines bad, two engines good is the eternal mantra, because airlines operate on maintenance related savings, rather than majesticity.
On the other hand I think it should be the Tu-95, rather then the MiG-15 for the soviet mention. That giant commie bomber with its german designed windmill engines really made the USA scared and led to a huge missile and B-52 build-up. The MiG-15 was a short range fighter, which never threatened the CONUS.
I agree on the Junkers F-13 choice, congrats. Here is Budapest we have one in the museum, the best condition original in the world, never used since 1921 (the occasion of a failed monarchist coup d' etat). The DC-3 was wrongly omitted, that's a shame.
To choose a UAV is silly. We still don't know if that is the future. May very well be just hacker-fodder. I would never trust anything that can be remotely accessed and reprogrammed. It is just a stupid computer with wings, which has no sense of loyalty or patriotism, unlike that redneck from Texas. A computer will serve the chinese or the russians gladly if given the right buffer overflow.
Thanks for your attention, regards: Tamas Feher from Hungary.

Pictures please. Re do the article. Show pictures of all aircraft and put the DC/3 as #2.
If you want make it the "Top 11" or call it:
The Top 10 + 1.
Posted by Bob Katz on June 12,2008 | 12:07 PM
How can you possibly miss:
Commercial aircraft:
Douglas DC-3
Boeing 707
de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver
All three are still flying after more than 50 years in commercial service.
Military aircraft:
Hawker Hurricane
AVRO Lancaster
These two carried the load during early part of WWII. Besides, you can't mistake the sound of the 4 Merlins in the Mynarski Lancaster flying over Toronto.
Posted by David Slater on June 12,2008 | 12:39 PM
Sorry folks! There is a huge mistake in this list. The first airplane was the 14-Bis (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14_Bis), not this Wright Bros lie.
Posted by Roberto on June 12,2008 | 02:19 PM
I would argue that the Predator isn't really an airplane; it's a remote-controlled two-stage missile.
And I second the inclusion of the Me-262 - twin jet engines and 4x 30mm cannons in 1941! - and the Avro Arrow and it's amazing Iroquois engines - accelerating straight up, fly-by-wire controls and potential to hit Mach 3 - all in 1957! And at the risk of sounding redundant and repetitive, the DC-3 - an example of which I recently had the slightly scary pleasure of taking to Chichen Itza.
I think the biggest mistake in your list, though, was your attempt to limit a technology that has seen such staggering advances in the last 100 years to just 10 examples :-) Still, kudos for trying!

Historically, the Spitfire Mk I won the battle of Britain. This Victory allowed for D-Day. Which airplane did more to change the world we live in?
Also, the Hindenburg changed the flying machines world, its disaster dooming airships in favor of winged aircraft.
Posted by Dentarthurdent on July 3,2008 | 05:36 AM
Dentarthurdent, If you were to include the Spitfire because of it's work in the Battle of Britain, then it follows that you would also have to include the aircraft that did most of the work that the Spitfire took all the glory for; the Hurricane. Anyway, you would be more interested in space travel wouldn't you? (or do you restrict your hitchiking to Earth now?)
Posted by Jim Trewin on July 7,2008 | 01:22 AM
No SR71 Blackbird? Or U2? hmmmm...
Posted by jim on July 9,2008 | 11:56 AM
It is obviously a thankless task to pick a top ten but even so the DC3/C47 is a glaring ommission. Transporting airborne troops and urgently needed supplies to D-Day troops, flying over the Himalayas to supply troops in the Asian theatre, the Berlin Airlift to save a whole city, and a stalwart of civil airilnes until recently. It might be American but it is a giant in the history of aviation!
And then I might be an insular Brit, but I cannot but say that you have to chose either the Hawker Hurricane, the Supermarine Spitfire or the P-51 Mustang. My choice- the Hurricane; it bore the brunt of the Battle of Britain and if we had been defeated then today's western world would be different.Emotionally the Spitfire becuae it is gorgeous to behold and the Mustang protected day-time bombers. But without the Hurricane thetre would not have been the airfields to take-off from.
But top ten is a real challenge; make it a top 25 to make it easier
Posted by Mike Daly on July 11,2008 | 04:24 PM
You have to include the U2. It may have been the plane that help avert WWIII.
Posted by Dave T on July 16,2008 | 02:35 PM
there have been only two airplanes built, concorde and all of the rest. (concorde captain and piper cub owner)
Posted by manton fain on July 19,2008 | 06:48 PM
In response to Don P and his June 29th posting... the Predator is NOT a missile (curious where you got your information, it isn't correct) and I think deservedly belongs on this list of incredible aircraft due to the overwhelming impact it has had on warfare as we know it and will know for years to come.
The omission of the DC3 from this list is noteworthy as its storied history was remarkable in every way
The 747 has had, and continues to do so, an impact on passenger travel on a global scale, although, there were other aircraft that have lasted longer and I can see the arguement for this aircraft not being on the list.
I'm sure a tremendous amount of thought went in to this list and I sincerely appreciate the efforts of all those involved. (Even if you left the mighty F-14 Tomcat off the list!) :)
Thanks for the hard work in putting this together!!!
Posted by Ken on August 22,2008 | 05:25 PM
When I saw the title of this post, the first plane that came to mind was the DC3. I agree with previous posters that you could not compile this list correctly without it. I also think the U2 belongs on this list.
But the worst sin committed here was not having photos of each and every plane on the list.

Must add comments about the C-47 Skytrain (DC-3 military version) to further endorse the universal appreciation of this over-looked but long-lived, durable and fun-to fly workhorse -- still around and still 100% reliable. The "gooney bird" is tough, dependable and can handle rough weather, overloads and short fields. Comparable, and as resilient and even more rugged, was the larger C-46 Curtiss Commando, the "super goon". She's still hauling goods, too. Both rightfully earned reputations as bush pilot and military jock favorites, whether crossing the "hump" (Burma-China theater), carrying troops, cargo and mail in Europe (WW II), handling troop carrier/combat cargo workloads in Korea, or doing vital AC-47 work in SVN. I'm compelled to mention and compare these two "survivors" as I have many fond, although a few rather tense, memories of piloting these venerable flying machines to where we had to go.

Before seeing you chose a Predator -which obviously I dissagree- I was thinking on "Concorde", but in fact, Concorde changed nothing finally. I would say that the "Enola Gay" B29 should not be in the list; B29s had been flying for years before, while later DC3 were for long time cheap workhorses for military and civilian use. Congratulations, you did a good job, though it is impossibel to make happy all your readers, it was a very good try. maybe in the future...

My picks:
Fokker D7: specifically mentioned in the surrender treaty of WW1, the welded tubular steel structure was common through to WW2)
DC2/3 (of course!)
DH Mosquito: pioneering composite construction methods/adhesives, reliance on speed and stealth instead of defensive guns (so normal today, that probably few would realize how revolutionary this was)
Lockheed Constellation: in 1944 Flight magazine archive, there is a photo of a very impressive looking Connie that had flown to Britain , in the same issue is an article about recriminations in parliment over the USAs huge advantage in airliner design.
B29: heavy gauge stamped skin, first true production line aircraft, pioneered modern airliner construction methods.
Douglas Skyhawk: Ed Heinman masterpiece of weight reduction, perhaps the most influential military aircraft of the latter 20th century)

RE: Need the F-22 Raptor in there somewhere.
EDITORS' REPLY: Interesting. Can you make the case that the Raptor has already been world-changing?
I get what the terse comment was going for and here's my take:
The amazing costs involved with the F-22 have moved the USA (and everyone else) towards UAV's. Without the wake up call from the F-22 budget battles and relatively narrow mission profiles, we'd still be focused on human carrying vehicles. The search for something cheaper and more flexible has led us down the UAV path and now, with armed UAV jet versions on the drawing board, the F-22 may be the last of its kind. When you're so expensive you force a technological change across the world's air forces, including your own, isn't that a world-changing plane?

What about the R-7 missile? Although not technically an "aircraft", it certainly had enormous impact on how military aviation developed from 1957 onward.
B-29 is not a groundbreaking concept at all: it is a logical continuation of the already existing concept of strategic bomber.
MiG-15 is not worthy of the list, either. It is not the first Russian jet fighter, it is not head and shoulders above competition, and its engine is a copy of Rolls-Royce Nene.
Posted by Tim on September 15,2011 | 03:30 PM
No less than honorable mention should be given to the aircraft that identified a whole generation. An aircraft that has been in continuous production for over 50 years. The aircraft that made the transition of rotary wing aviation from flying oddity to worldwide usage. THE helicopter of the "helicopter war", the UH-1 "Huey". Millions and millions of people, around the world, many of which can't tell a Cessna, from a Piper, from a Boeing, can look at that aircraft and say "it's a Huey". And a lot of those people don't even have to see it. They know what it is just by hearing it's familiar "wop wop wop". I don't know of any other aircraft that has that distinction.

I have a request (inquiry) that I would like to post regarding a U.S. Navy C-47 aircraft, BUNR 17254, that went missing in Chile (South America) on August 4, 1969. This aircraft has NEVER been located and virtually forgotten in terms of any historical record.
At the time I was a young dependent child of a U.S. Air Force service member stationed in Chile and we knew some of the passengers.
U.S. Military investigative documentation on the disappearance of the U.S. Navy C-47 is available at the following webpage for the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps, JAG Manual Investigations:

According to the report, the U.S. Navy aircraft was on a scheduled maintenance flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina and on board were 16 passengers (U.S. Navy/Air Forcs personnel along with several spouses).
Radio contact with the U.S. Navy aircraft was lost after the aircraft was approximately 27 miles south of the capital city of Santiago somewhere between Rancagua, Chile and Angostura, Chile.
The lost radio contact happened at least 15 minutes before the aircraft was even scheduled to reach the southern beacon point at Curico, Chile.
A search was conducted at the time by Chilean military and civilian personnel along with some American military aircraft. It ended on August 14, 1969. This tragedy was overshadowed due in part to the fact that on July 24, 1969 the Apollo 11 Astronauts had just returned from the first successful moon landing.
New technology would be very helpful in locating any wreckage. This incident needs to be brought to the attention of our government, the Chilean government and anyone else that might have expertise in finding and recovering lost and missing aircraft.

the omission of the DC3 renders this list absurd.

No mention of the Concord, the only cormecial supersonic passenger aeroplane. Is it because it is not American?
