I gave my EM-5 III, 45mm F1.8 and 12mm F2 (I had two copies of this one) to my dad. He has a Canon 5D and a Tamron 70-300 lens plus some other lenses, but he completely stopped using them due its weight and inconvenience to take them everywhere. I told him: you should try an Olympus or...

My pancake Olympus 14-42 EZ that I acquired a few months ago suddenly died :confused:. Today I took a picture without issues, then about 3 hours later I took the camera again to take another picture and oh surprise! I heard some noises inside the lens, but the screen remained black. The lens...

Entre burbujas. by arturofajardo, on Flickr

Ovi, I have the 75mm and since that lens from wide open already has an extraordinary level of sharpness, I feel it is entirely pointless if someone claims that the 56mm is a bit sharper. I think in this case I would be more inclined to make a decision on my focal length and rendering...

Reflejos en la tienda de sombreros. by arturofajardo, on Flickr

Of the cameras you mentioned I currently own a GX8 and a G9. The GX8 is a great camera to use, its viewfinder is still excellent by today standards, the fact that it tilts is remarkable, this is a feature that I use a lot. I remember that when I first saw the world through that viewfinder back...

Precise moment. Lumix G9 + M.Zuiko 75/1.8

Melanie, you are absolutely right. Besides my Panasonic Leica macro lens, this is probably my only Mu43's lens that I would shoot at F11 on a regular basis, to be honest even at F8 my copy suffers a bit more than I like at certain focal lengths on the corners, that is why I'm willing to go all...

I'm going to use this thread to share further impressions of my new to me EM-10 Mk II and 14-42 "Pancake" lens. A few days after getting this combo, I went to Milan on a layover, and while I have never considered myself a street photographer, Italy is a country that inspire me to do that kind...

Ovi, In the Canon realm, I had the 60D, 6D and 5D (Classic), all of them are gone. After I went all mirrorless, I eventually got a couple DSRLs back, but this time I jumped into the Pentax realm with the K-5 IIs and K-1 (and I still have both). If you take a slower approach to photography and...

In my opinion, there are three perspectives from where we can look at this release: Perspective #1: I am currently an OM-1 owner and because (insert your reasons here) I'm looking forward to upgrade to the OM-1 Mk II. From this point of view, I can understand that the release is somewhat...

I hope you get well soon John! Best wishes.

Winter sunset with Cirrus Clouds (Ci). Atardecer desde la ventana. by arturofajardo, on Flickr

Indeed, as much as the polycarbonate has some advantages, the tactile feedback is simply not one of them, frankly it feels bad. I still remember when I got my EM-5 II, at that time I had a Canon 5D Classic (gone), a Canon 6D (gone), a Sony A7R (gone) and a Lumix GX8 (that one is gone, but I have...

Hi Jens, I hope the lens doesn't develop any issues for a long time, I really like how convenient it is. I can immediately tell two things I like more on the EM-10 II vs the EM-5 II: 1) Button layout: the EM-10 has a Fn1 button near the thumb rest (just like the Pen-F). I already program this...

Something completely unexpected happened with my camera gear purchases. While looking for an Olympus Stylus 1S, (which by the way I found one locally), another seller listed in Facebook market a mint condition Olympus EM-10 Mk II along a pancake 14-42 EZ F3.5-5.6, the plastic fantastic 40-150...

You are welcome Ovi, Pentax greens are terrific and the tiny 1/1.7 sensor packs a punch!

Fantastic advice and points of view from all of you guys! Thank you for your answers! :) That is why I enjoy a forum like this one. Hi Bruce, The more I think about it, the more the small 35-100 makes sense. (The showcase thread in Mu-43 is dangerous) I have considered the 12-45/4, but since...

Happy 2024 for everyone! Fireworks at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Beginning of 2024 in Dubai. by arturofajardo, on Flickr Beginning of 2024 in Dubai. by arturofajardo, on Flickr

Thank you for taking the time developing these settings, I am sure many will appreciate them. I have a Pen-F and even if I always shoot raw, I'm certainly going to try some and post some pictures!

I'm wishing for another compact camera for those times where I don't want to carry a lot of gear on my flight bag. My ideal kit (focal length wise) when I'm flying is the EM-5 III/Pen-F combined with the 12-40/2.8 and 35-100/2.8, but even if I consider this kit "small" and perfect on vacation...

This lens is on my radar, sadly there is not a lot of info out there about it. I'm on my second copy of the Lumix 35-100/2.8 II. Sometimes it amazes me, other times it is a let down, definitely a love-hate relationship. Most likely I will sell it, and replace it down the road with this one. I...

Thank you! It was indeed a spectacular sunset. The good news is that it was from my window, so I should be able to see something similar again.

I use Micro 4/3 as my main system, but as many users here I like to experiment with more than one camera or system. While browsing in the forum I became curious about Pentax, (I never shot a digital Pentax before) and that is how I got a K-1 and then a K-5 IIs. The cameras feel great in hand...

I found locally two vintage lenses that catched my attention. -Olympus OM Zuiko 50mm F1.2 -Super Takumar 85mm F1.9 But... lately I have been a little bit hesitant of buying more expensive vintage glass with cemented elements, because a few of my vintage lenses are showing signs of separation...

This is my view everyday, but today I spotted some clouds (which honestly is rare here). These clouds are called "Towering cumulus" or "Cumulus congestus", without them I would not have shot this picture. Human elements and nature elements together. by arturofajardo, on Flickr

I spotted these clouds over the Indian Ocean, a few minutes after the sunrise. I was really attracted by the light illuminating only the top part of the main cloud. Nubes al amanecer. by arturofajardo, on Flickr Nubes al amanecer. by arturofajardo, on Flickr

Right after buying my Panasonic Leica 42.5/1.2, the seller (who is a pro photographer) told me: it's time to try your new lens, let's talk to that stranger and take a portrait of him. There was a man standing a few meters away, he kindly agreed to take his portrait which is here: Portrait of a...

I only have 2 modern lenses for my Pentax K-5 IIs, but I can't recommend them enough. -HD Pentax DA 20-40 2.8-4 Limited -HD Pentax DA 70mm F2.4 Limited When I was on the process of buying lenses for my camera, I was new to the modern Pentax K ecosystem and I had absolutely no idea what to buy...

Precisely these AF issues were what made me say "hasta la vista" Fujifilm. I had a Fujifilm X-T3 and several lenses, but the one that drove me crazy was the 16-55/2.8, it was really bad at all apertures. I use my brother's camera from time to time (Fujifilm X100T) and it is not affected by...
